If you have a balance due, you will have the option to pay with E-check or credit card online. A 4% convenience fee is charged for all credit card payments and a $1.25 convenience fee is charged for E-check payments . If the amount due is under $750.00, you may print the invoice and submit the invoice with payment by mail to the address on the invoice. IRP and IFTA transactions must be paid by certified funds. All payments should be made payable to the Alabama Department of Revenue.

A refund may be claimed on the IFTA quarterly fuel use tax return for any overpayment of tax in a reporting period by providing a written request or submitting the required petition for refund form [MVR 40-12-23 (items 5 through 12)] for the refund. A refund will be issued once the Department determines that all tax liabilities, including any outstanding audit assessments, have been satisfied to all member jurisdictions. A refund may be denied if the licensee is delinquent in filing any quarterly fuel use tax return.

You may correct any mistake prior to paying the return. If you have already paid your return, you must file an amended return. You will submit the amended return with the same process used to file the original return. You will receive a warning banner informing you that you are filing an amended return.
