Alabama Form 40X PDF Details

The Alabama Form 40X is filed to amend a previously submitted Alabama individual income tax return (Form 40 or Form 40A), or to request a state tax refund. Taxpayers use it to correct errors in income, deductions, exemptions, tax payments, or other figures from their original return.

Who should file: Alabama residents or non-residents who already submitted a state income tax return and later found an error, received a federal audit adjustment, or need to claim a refund not included in the original filing.

What you will need: Your Social Security number (and your spouse's if filing jointly), the original return figures, and the corrected amounts for each changed line. Provide a written explanation for every adjustment made.

Filing deadline: Submit Alabama Form 40X within three years of the original return due date or two years from when you paid the tax, whichever is later.

If you have not yet filed your Alabama income tax return, start with Alabama Form 40 or Alabama Form 40A. To make a payment with your amended return, use Alabama Form 40V.
