Question

Will The State of Alabama automatically take the money owed from my checking account? Last year I had it on automatic debit and forgot to change it this year.

I filed a few weeks ago and money has not been taken out. Am I supposed to write a check?

Look at the Filing Instructions page that printed with your State Return.

 

It should say whether you elected to pay your Balance Due by direct debit, or would mail a check later.

 

If you opted to mail a check, a Payment Voucher would have printed with your state return to use when mailing your payment. 

 

If you elected to use Direct Debit,  and you didn't specify a payment date, the default date of 4/15/2021 may have been used, so your payment won't be deducted until after that date.
