How do I make an estimate payment?

Estimated tax payments made by check should be submitted with the form PTE-V and mailed to the address provided on the form. Please note: §41-1-20, Code of Ala. 1975, requires all single tax payments of $750 or more to be made electronically.

Electronic Payment Options Available:

ACH Debit –  My Alabama Taxes – Taxpayers may make electronic payments via  My Alabama Taxes  for estimate, extension, return and billing payments. A My Alabama Taxes user id is not required to make an electronic payment, but it is recommended.

New taxpayers, who have recently registered with the Alabama Secretary of State, will receive an Online Filing Information letter. The Online Filing Information letter is for “information purposes” and provides the taxpayer with a Sign On ID and Access Code which permits access to My Alabama Taxes.

ACH Credit – Taxpayers making e-payments via ACH Credit must be pre-approved by ALDOR. Log on to My Alabama Taxes and select “Submit an Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization Agreement Form” under Other Actions to submit the form electronically. You must enter a valid business operational reason for using ACH Credit instead of ACH Debit.
