When is the deadline for filing state taxes in Alabama?

The deadline for filing state taxes in Alabama is typically April 15th. However, if the 15th falls on a weekend or a holiday, the deadline will be extended to the next business day. This applies to both individual and corporate taxpayers. It is important to note that filing for an extension does not grant an extension for paying any taxes owed. To avoid penalties and interest charges, it is recommended to file income tax returns and pay any outstanding balance by the deadline. Taxpayers who need additional time to file can request a six-month extension, but it does not extend the payment deadline. The Alabama Department of Revenue encourages taxpayers to file electronically for faster processing and to receive any refunds sooner.
