Taxpayer E-file Opt Out Election Form

General Information

Tax preparers who prepare 50 or more individual income tax returns in any calendar year, are required by Alabama Rule 810-3-27-.09, in that calendar year and for each subsequent year thereafter, to file all acceptable Alabama individual income tax returns using electronic medium. Filing paper returns with 2D barcode technology will no longer be allowed in meeting this requirement as of 2011.

As a taxpayer receiving services from a tax preparer who is required by Alabama law to file all acceptable Alabama indi- vidual income tax returns using electronic medium you may elect to “Opt Out.” That is, you may elect to not file your return using an electronic medium. Returns submitted electronically are processed faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost to the Department. If you elect to “Opt Out,” you are required to complete this form, which must be attached to your original paper individual income tax return. The paper return must have a 2D barcode on it when submitted to the Department with this form.

By signing this form, you have elected to:

NOT file your return electronically.
