State Extension Overview

Alabama

Automatic extension
Extended Deadline: October 15

If you know you cannot file your return by the due date you do not need to file for an extension. You will automatically be granted a 6-month extension.

If you anticipate that you will owe additional tax on your return you should submit your payment with a payment voucher (Form 40V) by April 15.

An extension means only that you will not be assessed a penalty for filing your return after the due date. Interest on the additional tax due from the due date of the return and any penalties will be assessed if applicable to your return.

Required Voucher: Form 40V
Filing extensions do not waive late payment interest past the original due date.
