Penalty Relief for Storm-Related Filing Delays
In response to the state of emergency declared by Gov. Kay Ivey, the Alabama Department of Revenue will consider relief from late filing penalties on a case-by-case basis.
This applies to Alabama taxpayers unable to timely file returns in the coming days and weeks because of damage or disruptions caused by Hurricane Isaias.
Relief is limited to those directly impacted and is not an automatic extension for all filers or unaffected areas.
Contact Options by Tax Type
Taxpayers seeking relief or additional assistance should contact ALDOR by telephone using the following numbers: Individual Income Tax at 334-353-0602, Corporate Income Tax at 334-242-1200, Pass-through Entities at 334-242-1033, Sales and Use Tax at 334-242-1490, Business Privilege Tax at 334-353-7923, and Withholding Tax at 334-353-7680.
Each request will be reviewed individually to determine eligibility based on the storm's effects.
Continued Monitoring of Conditions
The announcement was made on October 13, 2026, and ALDOR stated it will continue to monitor conditions associated with Hurricane Isaias.
Further relief measures may be granted as appropriate depending on how the situation develops.
This penalty relief announcement addresses only timely filing issues tied to the storm and does not cover separate existing tax debt questions.
