Common Mistakes When Filing Alabama Form 65

Avoiding these errors will save time and reduce the risk of a notice from the Alabama Department of Revenue:

Using the wrong tax year form. Always confirm you are filing the current-year version of Form 65. The Alabama Department of Revenue updates the form annually.
Skipping Schedule K-1 entries. Each partner or member must receive a complete Schedule K-1 reflecting their distributive share. Missing entries trigger audit flags.
Incorrect apportionment calculations. Multi-state entities must carefully compute the property, payroll, and sales apportionment fractions in Schedules C and D.
Missing the filing deadline. Late filing without an approved extension results in penalties. The return is due by the 15th of the third month after your fiscal year closes.
