How does the appeal process work?

When the request for an appeal has been submitted, your documentation will be assigned to an examiner for review. After the documentation review is complete and it is determined that the appealed assessment is not correct, a Taxpayer Assistance Order will be submitted to the Taxpayer Assistance Officer for final review. Once the Taxpayer Assistance Order has been signed, the order will be mailed to you at the current mailing address on file at ADOR (Alabama Department of Revenue).
