SECTION
Filing
1Information
First, be certain you need to file a tax return. Your
marital status, filing status, and gross income deter-
mine whether you have to file a tax return. Gross in-
come usually means money, goods, and property
you received on which you must pay tax. It does not
include nontaxable benefits. See page 7 of the in-
structions to find out which types of income you
should include.
Other Filing Requirements
Refunds. Even if your gross income was less
than the amounts shown, you must file a return to
get a refund if Alabama income tax was withheld
from any amounts paid to you.
Domicile. Individuals who are domiciled in (or
residents of) Alabama are subject to tax on their en-
tire income whether earned within or without Ala-
bama. This is true regardless of their physical
presence within Alabama at any time during the tax-
able year. Domicile is where one lives, has a per-
manent home, and has the intention of returning
when absent. Domicile may be by birth, choice, or
operation of law. Each person has one and only one
domicile which, once established, continues until a
new one is established coupled with the abandon-
ment of the old. Burden of proof regarding change of
domicile is on the taxpayer even though he/she
owns no property, earns no income, and has no
place of abode in Alabama.
If an Alabama resident accepts employment in a
foreign country for a definite or indefinite period of
time with the intent of returning to the United States,
the individual remains an Alabama resident and all
income, wherever earned, is subject to Ala bama in-
come tax. This is true even if the taxpayer leaves no
property in Alabama.
If a citizen of a foreign country comes to Alabama
to work (no matter how long he stays), buys a home,
secures an Ala bama driver’s license, does not in-
tend to apply for U.S. Citizenship, and intends to ul-
timately return to the country of origin, the individual
will be considered to have established domicile in
Alabama. In other words, a foreign citizen domiciled
in Alabama is liable for Alabama income tax on in-
come earned from all sources.
Military Personnel (Residents). Military per-
sonnel whose legal residence is Alabama are sub-
ject to Alabama income tax on all income regardless
of the source or where earned unless specifically ex-
empt by Alabama law.
Military personnel (Army, Navy, Marine, Air
Force, Merchant Marine, and Coast Guard) who
were residents of Alabama upon entering military
service remain residents of Alabama for income tax
purposes regardless of the period of absence or ac-
tual place of residence until proof of change in home
of record has been made. The burden of proof is on
the taxpayer though he owns no property, earns no
income, or has no place of abode in Alabama. Under
the provisions of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Re-
lief Act, military personnel are not deemed to have
lost their permanent residence in any state solely
because they are absent in compliance with military
orders. In addition, persons are not deemed to have
acquired permanent residence in another state when
they are required to be absent from their home state
by virtue of military orders. If the husband and wife
are both in military service, each could be a resident
of a different state under the Soldiers’ and Sailors’
Civil Relief Act. A spouse not in military service has
the same domicile as his/her spouse unless proven
otherwise.
Military Personnel (Nonresidents). Non resi-
dent military personnel merely having a duty station
within Alabama (whose legal residence is not Ala-
bama) are not required to file an Alabama income
tax return unless they have earned income from Ala-
bama sources other than military pay. If they have
earned income in Alabama other than military pay,
they are required to file Alabama Form 40NR. A mar-
ried nonresident with income earned in Alabama
may file either a separate return claiming himself or

How To Use This Instruction Booklet
The instructions for Form 40NR are divided into five main sections.
SECTION 1 contains information on who must file, how to choose the correct form, and when to
file a return.
SECTION 2 contains useful steps to help you prepare your return.
SECTION 3 contains specific instructions for most of the lines on your return.
SECTION 4 contains general information about such items as amending your tax return, how long
to keep records, and when you should receive your refund.
SECTION 5 contains instructions for completing most of the schedules that may be attached to
Form 40NR.
If you follow the steps in Section 2 and the specific instructions in Section 3, you should be able to fill
in your return quickly and accurately.
herself only, or a joint return claiming the total al-
lowable personal exemption.
The “Military Spouses
Residency Relief Act” (Public Law 111-97) states that
the income for services performed by the spouse of a
service member shall not be deemed to be income for
services performed or from sources within a tax juris-
diction of the United States if the spouse is not a resi-
dent of the jurisdiction in which the income is earned
because the spouse is in the jurisdiction solely to be
with the service member serving in compliance with mil-
itary orders.
Dependent’s and Student’s Income. Depen d-
ents who are residents of Alabama must file a return
if they meet the requirements under You Must File
A Return IF… on page 4. A student’s income is fully
taxable to the same extent as other individuals who
are required to file a return. If a return is required,
the dependent or student can claim a personal ex-
emption of $1,500 and his or her parents may claim
a dependent exemption if they provided more than
50% of the total support. See Dependent Exemption
on page 9.
When To File
You should file as soon as you can after January
1, 2022, but no later than the due date of the federal
return. If you file late, you may have to pay penalties
and interest. (See Penalties and Interest on page
14.) If you know you cannot file your return by the
due date, you do not need to file for an extension.
You will automatically be granted an extension until
October 15, 2022. If you anticipate that you will owe
additional tax on your return, you should submit your
payment with a payment voucher (Form 40V) with
the box “Automatic Extension Payment” checked by
the due date of the federal return.
Except in cases where taxpayers are abroad, no
extension will be granted for more than 6 months.
An extension means only that you will not be as-
sessed a penalty for filing your return after the due
date. Interest on the additional tax due from the due
date of the return and any penalties will be assessed
if applicable to your return.
Original returns must be filed within two years of
the date the taxes are paid to be eligible for a re-
fund. Criminal liability could result from a continued
failure to file returns. (Refer to “Criminal Liability”
on Page 14.)
Which Form To File
You MAY Use Form 40A If You Meet
ALL The Following Conditions:
You were a resident of Alabama for the entire
year,
You do not itemize deductions,
You do not claim any adjustments to income
such as an IRA deduction, alimony paid, federal in-
come tax paid for a prior year, etc.,
You do not have income from sources other
than salaries and wages, except for interest and div-
idend income, which cannot exceed $1,500,
You are not claiming income or a loss from
Schedules C, D, E, or F, and
You are not claiming credit for taxes paid to
another state.
You MUST Use Form 40 If:
You were a full or part-year resident of Ala-
bama and do not meet ALL of the requirements to
file Form 40A, and
You are itemizing deductions.
You MUST Use Form 40NR If:
You are not a resident of Alabama and you
received taxable income from Alabama sources or
for performing services within Alabama and your
gross income from Alabama sources exceeds the
allowable prorated personal exemption, or filing Mar-
ried Filing Joint under the “Military Spouses Resi-
dency Relief Act.” Non residents must prorate the
personal exemption. If your Alabama gross income
exceeds the prorated amount, a return must be filed.
You MUST Use Both Form 40 and
Form 40NR If:
You had sufficient income to require the filing
of a part-year return and also had income from Ala-
bama sources while a non-resident during the same
tax year. In this case, both the total personal ex-
emption and the dependent exemption must be
claimed in the part-year resident return. No exemp-
tion can be claimed on the nonresident return. The
part year resident return should include only income
and deductions incurred during the period of resi-
dency. The nonresident return should include only
income and deductions incurred during the period of
non-residency.
SECTION
Steps for Preparing
2Your Return
By following these five useful steps, and reading
the specific instructions that follow, you should be
able to prepare your return quickly and accurately.
Step 1
Collect all your necessary records.
Income Records. These include any Forms W-
2, W-2G, and 1099 that you have. If you do not re-
ceive a Form W-2 by February 1, OR if the one you
receive is incorrect, please contact your employer
as soon as possible. Only your employer can give
you a Form W-2, and only he or she can correct it.
If you have someone prepare your return for you,
make sure that person has all your income and ex-
pense records so he or she can fill in your return cor-
rectly. Remember, even if your return is prepared in-
correctly by someone else, you are still responsible
.
Itemized Deductions. If you itemize deductions
(Forms 40 or 40NR), some of the records you need
are:
Medical and dental payment records.
Real estate and personal property tax receipts.
Interest payment records for a home mortgage.
Step 2
Obtain any forms or schedules you
may need.
The fastest way to obtain forms is to down-
load them from our website www.revenue.
alabama.gov. Also see page 29 for more
information.
Step 3
Check your return to make sure
it is correct.
See Common Mistakes on page 11.
Step 4
Sign and date your return.
Form 40, 40A, or 40NR is not considered a re-
turn unless you sign it. Please sign in black ink
only. Your spouse must also sign if it is a joint return.
Original signatures are required or the return will not
be accepted.
Step 5
Attach all necessary
forms and schedules.
Attach the state copies of all Forms W-2, W-2G,
1099’s and completed copy of your federal form to
the front of your return. Attach schedules and forms
in sequential order starting with Form 40NR.
If you need more space on forms or schedules,
attach separate sheets and use the same format as
the printed forms, but show your totals on the printed
forms. Please use sheets that are the same size as
the forms and schedules. Be sure to put your name
and social security number on these separate
sheets, and attach them at the end of the return.
Before mailing your return, check to make sure
you have retained an exact copy for your records. If
you owe tax, be sure to include payment and Form
40V with your return. Please see page 10 for addi-
tional payment options.

SECTION
Specific
3Instructions
Name and Address
Please type or print your name, address, and so-
cial security number in the appropriate blocks.
If you live in an apartment, please include your
apartment number in the address. If the post office
delivers mail to your P.O. Box number rather than
to your street address, write the P.O. Box number
instead of your street address.
Social Security Number
Each year thousands of taxpayers file returns
using an incorrect social security number. Usually
this number belongs to another taxpayer. It is very
important that you file your return using the correct
social security number. Failure to use your correct
social security number(s) in the space(s) provided
WILL DELAY the processing of your refund. Listed
below are a few of the common reasons that a so-
cial security number is reported incorrectly:
failure to place number on return,
memorized wrong number,
copied number wrong,
gave an incorrect number to the tax preparer,
gave your employer an incorrect number.
IMPORTANT: Check your W-2 forms. Your em ploy -
er may be reporting an incorrect number for you.
If you are married and filing a joint return, write
both social security numbers in the blocks provided.
If you are married and filing separate Alabama
returns, write your spouse's social security number
on line 3.
If your spouse is a nonresident alien, has no in-
come, does not have a social security number, and
you file a separate return, write "NRA" in the block
for your spouse's social security number. If you and
your spouse file a joint return, your spouse must
have a social security number.
If you or your spouse do not have a social secu-
rity number, please get Form SS-5 from a Social Se-
curity Administration (SSA) office. File it with your
local SSA office early enough to get your number
before April 15.
IMPORTANT: Notify the Social Security Ad min is tra-
tion (SSA) immediately in the event you have
changed your name because of marriage, divorce,
etc., so the name on your tax return is the same as
the name the SSA has on record. This helps prevent
delays in processing your return.
Filing Status and Personal
Exemption Lines 1 through 4
You should check only the box that describes
your filing status. The personal exemption will be de-
termined by your filing status on the last day of the
tax year.
Single
Consider yourself single if on December 31, you
were unmarried or separated from your spouse ei-
ther by divorce or separate maintenance decree.
If you check box 1, multiply $1,500 by the per-
centage on line 10, and enter the result on line
15.
Married
Joint or Separate Returns?
Joint Returns. Most married couples pay less
tax if they file a joint return. You must report all in-
come, exemptions, deductions, and credits for you
and your spouse. Both of you must sign the return
even if only one of you had income.
Common law
marriages entered into before January 1, 2017, are
recognized by the State of Alabama for income tax pur-
poses.
You and your spouse can file a joint return if you
were living together on December 31, 2021, even if
you did not live together for the entire year. Both of
you are responsible for any tax due on a joint return,
so if one of you does not pay the other may have to.
Note: If you file a joint return, you may not, after the
due date of the return, choose to file separate re-
turns for that year.
If your spouse died in 2021, you can file a joint
return for 2021. You can also file a joint return if your
spouse died in 2022 before filing a 2021 return. For
details on how to file a joint return, see Death of
Taxpayer on page 14.
If you check box 2, multiply $3,000 by the per-
centage on line 10, and enter the result on line
15.
Separate Returns. You can file separate returns
if both you and your spouse had income, or if only
one of you had income.
If you file a separate return, report only your own
income, exemptions, deductions, and credits. You
are responsible only for the tax due on your return.
Note: Alabama is not a community property state.
If you file a separate return, write your spouse’s
social security number in the space on line 3.
If your spouse does not file, attach a statement
explaining why your spouse is not required to file.
If you check box 3, multiply $1,500 by the per-
centage on line 10, and enter the result on line
15.
Head of Family
An individual shall be considered Head of Fam-
ily if, and only if, such individual is not married at the
close of their tax year, is not a surviving spouse and
their qualifying dependent is not a foster child.
You may check the box on line 4 ONLY IF on
December 31, 2021, you were unmarried or legally
separated and meet either test 1 or test 2 below:
Test 1. You paid more than half the cost of
keeping up a home for the entire year provided that
the home was the main home for your parent whom
you can claim as a dependent. Your parent did not
have to live with you in your home.
OR
Test 2. You paid more than half the cost of
keeping up a home in which you lived and in which
one of the following also lived for more than 6
months of the year (temporary absences, such as
for vacation or school, are counted as time lived in
the home):
a. Your unmarried child, grandchild, great-
grandchild, etc., adopted child, or stepchild. This
child does not have to be your dependent.
b. Your married child, grandchild, great-grand-
child, etc., adopted child, or stepchild. This child
must be your dependent. However if your child’s
other parent claims him or her as a dependent under
the federal rules for Children of Divorced or Sep-
arated Parents, this child does not have to be your
dependent.
c. Any relative whom you can claim as a de-
pendent. (See definition of a dependent on page 9.)
If the person for whom you kept up a home was
born or died during the year, you may still file as
Head of Family if the home was that person’s main
home for the part of the year he or she was alive.
If you check box 4, multiply $3,000 by the per-
centage on line 10, and enter the result on line
15.
Special Rules
A nonresident taxpayer who receives income
from Alabama sources or for performing services
within Alabama and who also had income while a
resident of Alabama during the same tax year must
file both the Alabama Nonresident Form 40NR and
the Alabama part-year Form 40. If you are required
to file both returns, the total personal exemption
and the dependent exemption must be claimed
on the part-year return (Form 40). No personal
exemption or dependent exemption can then be
claimed on the nonresident return (Form 40NR).
Income
A nonresident of Alabama is subject to tax on all
income received within or for services performed in
Alabama and amounts received from the sale of
property located in Alabama unless specifically ex-
empt. The term “income” includes, but is not limited
to; salaries, wages, commissions, income from busi-
ness or professions, alimony, rents, royalties, inter-

under 50 cents. Increase amounts from 50 to 99
cents to the next dollar. For example: $1.39 be-
comes $1.00, and $2.69 becomes $3.00.
Line 5
Wages, Salaries, Tips, Etc.
Alabama tax withheld information must be re-
ported on Schedule W-2. (See Schedule W-2 in-
structions for more information.)
The amount withheld is shown on the state copy
of your Form W-2. This copy should be marked “To
Be Filed With Your Alabama Income Tax Return.”
Note: Do not change or alter the amount of tax with-
held or wages reported on your Form W-2. If any
amount is incorrect or illegible, you should contact
your employer and request a corrected statement.
Do not include these taxes as Alabama income
tax:
Federal income tax,
FICA tax (Social Security and Medicare),
Local, city, or occupational tax, or
Taxes paid to another state.
In Column A – Alabama tax withheld, enter the
total amount from Schedule W-2, Line 18, Column
G.
Income From ALL Sources. Report income
from all sources on Schedule W-2, Column H.
See Schedule W-2 instructions for more infor-
mation. Show the total amount of wages, salaries,
fees, commissions, tips, bonuses, and other
amounts you were paid before taxes, insurance, etc.
were taken out.
This includes the income earned in Alabama as
well as the income earned outside of Alabama. Even
though the income earned outside of Alabama is not
taxable to Alabama, it must be included in order to
determine the ratio of Alabama income to total in-
come from all sources. This determines the personal
exemption, dependent exemption, and itemized de-
ductions or standard deduction you may claim in ar-
riving at the income on which you figure the amount
of tax you owe Alabama.
In Column B – “All Sources” enter the total in-
come from Schedule W-2, Line 18, Column H.
Alabama Income. Report all W-2 information
on Schedule W-2. See Schedule W-2 instructions
for more information. On column C – “Alabama In-
come”, enter the amount from Schedule W-2, Line
18, Column I. The amount shown in the box headed
“State Wages” on your Form W-2 should be in-
cluded on Schedule W-2. Report all wages, salaries,
fees, commissions, tips, bonuses, and other
amounts of income that were earned in Alabama
even if you do not have a Form W-2. (These
amounts should also have been included in Column
B.)
Note: State of Alabama employees will find that the
amount taxable for state purposes is, in most cases,
more than the amount taxable for federal purposes.
This is due to the fact that amounts deducted from
their wages as “Contributions to the Alabama State
Retirement System” qualify for deferral on the fed-
eral return, but do not qualify for deferral on the Ala-
bama return.
Statutory Employees. If you were a statutory
employee, the Statutory employee box of your W-2
form should be checked. Statutory employees in-
clude full time life insurance salespeople, certain
agent or commission drivers and traveling sales-
people, and certain homeworkers.
Please see the Schedule W-2 instructions for in-
formation on how to report your “Statutory Em-
ployee” wages.
Line 6
Other Income
All taxable income you received that is not re-
ported on line 5 should be entered on line 6. This in-
cludes interest income, dividends, rents, royalties,
gains from sale of property, etc.
See Examples of Income You DO NOT Report
and Examples of Income You MUST Report on
page 7 of these instructions for further details on in-
come which should be included on this line.
If you have income from other sources, you must
complete page 2, Part I and attach the appropriate
schedule(s).
Line 8
Adjustments to Income
If you made payments to an Individual Retire-
ment Arrangement (IRA), Keogh Retirement Plan,
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), paid self-em-
ployment health insurance premiums, incurred
penalties for the early withdrawal of funds, or in-
curred deductible moving expenses, then these
items should be shown as an adjustment to income.
For more information on the above deductions
see the instructions on page 12 for page 2, Part II .
The adjustments to income from Part II, line 8
should be entered on page 1, line 8.
Line 10
Alabama Percentage of Adjusted
Total Income
You must divide the amount on line 9, Column
C, by the amount on line 9, Column B, to determine
the ratio of Alabama Adjusted total income to the Ad-
justed total income from all sources. If the amount in
Column C is larger than the amount in Column B,
you should enter 100% on line 10. If the amount in
Column C is a loss (less than 0) enter 0% on line 10.
Line 11
Other Adjustments
If you paid alimony, adoption expenses and/or
qualifying health insurance for a small employer em-
ployee, you should show these amounts as other
adjustments to income. The amount that needs to
be entered on line 11, will come from the total other
adjustments on page 2, part 3, line 4 and line 6 of
your return. See instructions for page 2, part 3, on
page 13 of this booklet for more instructions.
Line 12
Adjusted Gross Income
If the amount on Column C, line 12 is less than
zero you may have a net operating loss that you can
carry to another tax year. If you carry the loss back
to earlier years, you should check the amended re-
turn box on your Form 40NR and attach Form NOL-
85 and/or Form NOL-85A.
Line 13
Itemized or Standard Deduction
You have the option to either itemize your de-
ductions or you may claim the optional standard de-
duction. You should compute your deduction both
ways to determine the option that gives you the
larger deduction. If you elect to claim the standard
deduction on your return and it later becomes nec-
essary to change to itemized deductions, you may
do so by filing an amended return.
If married and filing separate returns, both
spouses must claim the same deduction unless the
spouses have lived apart for the entire year, in which
case each spouse may claim either deduction. How-
ever, neither spouse may claim a deduction for ex-
penses paid by the other. See the instructions for
Schedule A for items that may be claimed as an
itemized deduction.
Itemized Deductions. If you elect to itemize
your deductions, you should check box a on line 13
and complete and attach Schedule A. The amount
shown on line 30 of Schedule A should be entered
on line 13.
Standard Deduction. If you elect to claim the
Standard Deduction, you should check box b on line
13, and use the chart on the next page to determine
the Standard Deduction allowable on your return. A
dependent or student may take the standard de-
duction even if claimed as a dependent by someone
else. The Standard Deduction must be prorated by
the percentage on page 1, line 10.
Line 14
Federal Income Tax Deduction
A nonresident of Alabama may deduct from Ala-
bama adjusted gross income a portion of the Fed-
eral income tax due on the 2021 Federal income
tax return. In order to determine the amount de-
ductible, you must complete page 2, Part IV of Form
40NR. The instructions for completing Part IV are on
page 13 of this booklet.
Line 15
Personal Exemption
Enter the personal exemption amount from line
8
1, 2, 3, or 4 multiplied by the percentage on line 10.
A dependent or student may take the personal ex-
emption even if claimed as a dependent by someone
else.
Line 16
Dependent Exemption
A dependent as defined under Alabama law is
an individual other than the taxpayer and his or
her spouse who received over 50% of his or her
support from the taxpayer during the tax year and
is also related to the taxpayer in one of the following
relationships:
Son Stepfather
Daughter Mother-in-law
Stepson Father-in-law
Stepdaughter Brother-in-law
Legally adopted child Sister-in-law
Parent Son-in-law
Grandparent Daughter-in-law
Grandchild If related by blood:
Brother Uncle
Sister Aunt
Stepbrother Nephew
Stepsister Niece
Stepmother
Note: You cannot claim a foster child, friend, cousin,
yourself, or your spouse as a dependent under Ala-
bama law.
Birth or Death of Dependent. You can take an
exemption for a dependent who was born or who
died during 2021 if he or she met the qualifications
for a dependent while alive.
Support. You must have provided over 50% of
the dependent’s support in 2021. If you file a joint
return, the support can be from you or your spouse.
You cannot claim credit on an Alabama return for a
dependent if you provided less than 50% of the sup-
port under Alabama law as you can under federal
law in certain conditions.
If you are married and filing a separate return,
you must consider only the amounts you separately
furnished out of your income in determining whether
or not you provided over 50% of the dependent’s
support. Do not include any amounts your spouse
furnished for the support of the dependent.
In figuring total support, you must include money
the dependent used for his or her own support even
if this money was not taxable (for example: gifts, sav-
ings, welfare benefits). If your child was a student, do
not include amounts he or she received as scholar-
ships.
Support includes items such as food, a place to
live, clothes, medical and dental care, recreation,
and education. In figuring support use the actual cost
of these items. However, the cost of a place to live
is figured at its fair rental value.
In figuring support, do not include items such as
income taxes, social security taxes, premiums for
life insurance, or funeral expenses.
If you qualify to claim your child and/or other in-
dividuals as your dependent, you must complete on
page 2, Part V. The total credit entered on page 2,
Part V, line 4 should be entered on page 1, line 16.

Figuring Your Tax
You must figure your tax from the Tax Tables on
pages 21-26 unless you are claiming a carryover or
carryback net operating loss from another year.
Indicate the method you are using by checking
the appropriate box. If you are claiming a net oper-
ating loss from another year, you must complete and
attach Form NOL-85A.

ability, Schedule OC must be completed in order to
compute your net tax due. You must check the box
to indicate you are using Schedule OC to compute
your net tax due. If you do not have any tax credits,
enter the amount from line 19.

2021 Estimated Tax Payments/
Automatic Extension Payments
Enter on this line any payments you made on
your estimated Alabama income tax (Form 40ES) for
2021 or automatic extension (Form 40V). Include any
overpayments from your 2020 return that you applied
to your 2021 estimated tax. (Do not include the bal-
ance you paid with your 2020 return in 2021 or any
overpayment from 2020 that was refunded to you.)
If you and your spouse paid joint estimated tax
but are now filing separate Alabama income tax re-
turns, either of you may claim all of the amount paid,
OR you can each claim a part of it. Please be sure to
show both social security numbers on the separate
returns. If you and your spouse paid separate esti-
mated tax but are now filing a joint income tax return,
add the amounts you each paid. These instructions
also apply if your spouse died during the year.
Caution: It is very important that the social security
numbers be the same on your current return, last
year’s return, and all of your estimate vouchers. The
department will be unable to allow you proper credit
for your payments unless the numbers are the same.
If the department is unable to verify the amount
claimed, you may be requested to submit copies of
all your canceled checks substantiating the amount
claimed. This will cause considerable delay in pro-
cessing your return.
Name Change. If you changed your name be-
cause of marriage, divorce, etc., and you made es-
timated tax payments using your former name,
attach a statement to Form 40NR explaining all the
payments you and your spouse made in 2021 and
the name(s) and social security number(s) under
which you made the payments.
Line 23
Composite Tax Payments/Electing
PTE Credit
If you are reporting income from a partnership or
S corporation which filed Alabama Form PTE-C, any
payment made on your behalf should be entered on
Schedule CP. For tax years beginning on or after
January 1, 2021, Act 2021-423 allows the owner,
member, partner, or shareholder of an electing pass-
through entity reporting income to be allowed a re-
fundable credit in an amount equal to its pro rata or
distributive share of the Alabama income tax paid by
the electing pass-through entity with respect to the
corresponding tax year. This amount needs to be re-
ported on Schedule CP. The amount from Schedule
CP, Section B, line 1 should be entered on line 23.
Line 24
Previous Payments
This line is for amended returns only. Enter the
amount of your previous payment made with your
original return and/or billing notices and amended

your daytime telephone number, and “2021 Form
40NR,” and remit your payment with Form 40V.

online by visiting Value Payment Systems at
www.paystatetax.com/al. Discover/NOVUS®, Mas-
terCard®, Visa® and American Express® cards are
currently being accepted. There is a convenience fee
for this service. This fee is paid directly to the company
you use based on the amount of your tax payment
How do I pay by ACH Debit (E-check)? You
may pay by ACH Debit by going to
www.myalabamataxes.alabama.gov
. Do not use
Form 40V when paying by ACH Debit. You will need
to have your bank routing number and checking ac-
count number to use this service. No fee is charged
for this service.
If you are paying with funds on a foreign bank
you must include an additional $25 exchange
fee.
If payment for the full amount of tax due is not
paid by the due date of the return, you will be
charged interest and will be subject to penalties.
(See Penalties and Interest on page 14 of these
instructions.) More importantly, if you submit your re-
turn without payment, a final assessment may be
entered by the Department. A final assessment
which is not appealed is as conclusive as a judg-
ment of a circuit court. The Department may then
proceed with collection by issuance of legal
processes including recording of tax liens, gar-
nishment of wages or bank accounts, levy, or a
writ of seizure directed to the county sheriff as pro-
vided by Sections 40-1-2, 40-2-11(16), and 40-29-
23, Code of Alabama 1975.
Line 30
Estimated Tax Penalty
If the amount you owe (line 29) exceeds
$500.00, you may be subject to an estimate, or un-
derestimation penalty. Page 14 of this booklet pro-
vides additional information on these penalties, or
you can complete Form 2210AL. See page 29, “How
To Obtain Forms.”
Line 31
Overpayment
(If line 28 is larger than line 20)
Subtract line 20 from line 28, and enter the
amount on line 31 — this is the amount you over-
paid.
Line 32
Applied to 2022 Estimated Tax
You may elect to credit all or part of the over-
payment shown on line 31 to your 2022 estimated
Tax. Once an election is made to apply this over-
payment to your 2022 estimated tax, it cannot later
be refunded to you or applied to pay additional tax
for 2021.

Line 33
Refunded to You
Subtract the amount on line 32 from the amount
on line 31. If your return is complete and contains
no errors, you should receive your refund within 8 to
12 weeks after you mail it. See When Should I Re-
ceive My Refund? on page 15 of this booklet for
further information about your refund.
Sign Your Return
Form 40NR is not considered a return unless
you sign it. Please sign in black ink only. Your
spouse must also sign if it is a joint return. If you are
filing a joint return with your deceased spouse, see
Death of Taxpayer on page 14.
Did You Have Someone Else Prepare Your
Return? If you fill in your own return, the Paid Pre-
parer’s Use Only area should remain blank. Some-
one who prepares your return but does not charge
you should not sign.

Common Mistakes
Which Delay Refunds
Errors delay your refund. This checklist should
help you file your form correctly:
1. Is your address correct?
2. If you took the standard deduction, did you use
the chart on page 9?
3. Did you include your W-2 forms and any other

in the proper order? (See Step 5 on page 5.)
4. Is your math correct? (Note: Check your math
carefully when figuring your refund or amount you
owe.)
5. Did you find the correct tax in the Tax Table for
your filing status and taxable income?
6. Did you write your social security number, day-
time phone number, and “2021 Form 40NR” on your
check or money order?

Page 2, Part I
Other Income
All taxable income other than salaries, wages,
commissions, etc. that is not reported on page 1, line
5 should be reported in page 2, Part I.
The total other income from all sources should
be reported in Column B under the heading “All
Sources.” The income reported in Column B should
be the same as would be reported by a resident of
Alabama.
Example: You may be required to report interest
income from obligations of the U.S. Government on
your federal return, but since this income is not tax-
able to Alabama it should not be included in Column
B.
All income you listed in Column B earned in the
State of Alabama should also be listed in Column C
under the heading “Alabama Sources.” Use only the
lines and schedules applicable to your types of
income.
Line 1
Interest and Dividend Income
Any interest or dividend income received in 2021
with Alabama legal jurisdiction should be reported
in Column C. All other interest or dividend items that
would normally be taxable to an Alabama resident
should be reported in Column B.
Note: Interest or Dividend items received from pass
through entities such as Partnerships or S-Corpora-
tions should not be reported as separate line items
on Schedule B, but should be included in total on
the Alabama Schedule E.
If you received dividends and interest income of
more than $1,500 in 2021, you must complete and
attach Schedule B. Enter the taxable amount shown
in Schedule B on Part I, line 1.
Line 2
Alimony Received
Alimony and separate maintenance payments
received by a nonresident of Alabama in 2021 are
not taxable for Alabama purposes. However, any
amounts you received in 2021 must be included in
the total adjusted gross income from all sources to
the same extent that it is includable on your 2021
Federal return. The amount received should be
listed in Column B only. Do not include amounts you
received which are child support.
Line 3
Pensions and Annuities
Pension and annuity payments received by a
nonresident are not subject to Alabama tax. How-
ever, pension and annuity payments you received
in 2021 that would be taxable to a resident of Ala-
bama must be included in the total adjusted gross
income from all sources in order to compute the ratio
of Alabama adjusted gross income to total adjusted
gross income from all sources:
Payments you received from any of the follow-
ing are not taxable and should not be included in the
income reported on line 3:
State of Alabama Teachers’ Retirement.
State of Alabama Employees’ Retirement.
State of Alabama Judicial Retirement.
United States Civil Service Retirement.
Retirement systems created by the Federal So-
cial Security Acts.
Railroad retirement benefits received under the
Federal Railroad Retirement Acts of 1935 and
1937.
Military Retirement Pay.
TVA Pension System Benefits.
U.S. Foreign Service Retirement and Disability
Fund Annuities.
U.S. Government Retirement Fund Benefits.
Any Defined Benefit Retirement Plan in accor-
dance with IRC 414(j). Contact your retirement
plan administrator to determine if your plan
qualifies.
Enter on line 3 the taxable portion of all pensions
and/or annuities you received in 2021 that would be
taxable to a resident of Alabama. The amount to be
reported would be the same as reported on your
11
Federal return except for income from those sources
previously listed as exempt.
Line 4
Business Income or (Loss)
If you conducted a business or practiced a pro-
fession during the taxable year, you must complete
and attach a copy of Federal Schedule C or C-EZ
to your Alabama return.
Generally, you may deduct the ordinary and nec-
essary expenses of doing business — the cost of
merchandise, salaries, interest, taxes, rent, repairs,
and incidental supplies.
In the case of capital investments and improve-
ments in depreciable property such as buildings, ma-
chines, and similar items having a useful life of more
than one year, Alabama law provides for a “reason-
able allowance” for depreciation over the useful life
of the property.
If some of your expenses are part business and
part personal, you can deduct ONLY the business
portion.
Adjustments to Federal Schedules C and F. Ala-
bama law differs from federal law in the treatment of
some of the expenses shown on Federal Schedules
C, and F, and certain items may need adjusting for
Alabama purposes. The expenses which may need
adjusting are:
Percentage Depletion Gas and Oil. In the case
of oil and gas wells, the allowance for depletion
shall be 12 percent of the gross income from the
property during the taxable year, excluding from
such gross income an amount equal to any rents
or royalties paid or incurred by the taxpayer in re-
spect to the property. Such amounts shall not ex-
ceed 50 percent of the net income of the
taxpayer, computed without allowance for deple-
tion, from the property, except that in no case
shall the depletion allowance be less than the
amount allowable under federal income tax law.
Cost Depletion Natural Resources Other than
Gas and Oil. Alabama law has no provision for
percentage depletion of natural resources other
than gas and oil, as currently allowed under fed-
eral law. For Alabama purposes, the depletion al-
lowance shall be computed using the cost
depletion method.
Depreciation. Alabama law allows IRC Section
179 Expense for all taxable years beginning after
December 31, 1989. Adjustments may be nec-
essary if assets were acquired and placed in
service prior to tax years beginning January 1,
1990.
Targeted “Jobs Credit.” You may have been
allowed to take a portion of your payroll expense
as a “Targeted Jobs Credit” on your federal re-
turn. This is an allowable expense for Alabama
income tax purposes.
Passive Activity Losses. Alabama law has no
provision, similar to current federal law, which
limits the deduction of passive trade or business
activity losses.
If you have adjustments involving any of the pre-
viously described expenses, attach an explanation
and show the adjustment as “Other Expenses” on
Federal Schedule C or F.
The net profit or (loss) from business, as shown
on Federal Schedule C-EZ or C after above ad just-
ments (if applicable), should be entered on Part I,
line 4. The net profit or (loss) from all operations
within and without Alabama, as shown on Federal
Schedule C, after above adjustments (if applicable),
should be entered on Part I, line 4, Column B. The
net profit or (loss) from operations in Alabama
should be entered in Column C.
Line 5
Gain or (Loss) from Sale of
Real Estate, Stocks, Bonds, Etc.
If you sold real estate, stocks, bonds, or other
assets in 2021 the net gain or (loss) should be en-
tered in column B. The net gain or (loss) from the
sale of property located in Alabama should also be
entered in Column C.
If you sold your personal residence, any gain re-
alized is taxable to the same extent as reported on
your federal return.
Please see the instructions for Schedule D for
further information.
Line 6
Rents, Royalties, Partnerships,
Estates, Trusts, S Corporations
You must complete and attach Schedule E if
you received income in 2021 from any of these
sources. The instructions for completing Schedule
E are on page 20 of this booklet.
Line 7
Farm Income or (Loss)
If you operated a farm during the year, you must
attach Federal Schedule F to your return.
Alabama law differs from Federal law in the treat-
ment of some of the expenses shown on Federal
Schedule F. These differences are discussed in the
instructions for line 4, Part I. If any of these adjust-
ments apply to your return, you should show the ad-
ditional amounts as “Other Expenses” on Federal
Schedule F.
The net profit or (loss) from farm operations,
within and without Alabama, should be entered on
line 7, Column B. The net profit or (loss) from farm
operations in Alabama should also be entered in
Column C.
Line 8
Other Income
Enter on line 8 any other income you cannot find
a place for on your return or on another schedule.
State the nature and source in the space provided,
or attach a separate explanation.
The total other income from all sources should
be entered in Column B, and only the other income
earned in Alabama should be entered in Column C.
Foreign Income Exclusion. If you are entitled to
a foreign income exclusion, please attach a copy of
your Federal Form 2555 to your return and report
the amount of your exclusion as a credit in paren-
thesis (Example: (30,000)) on line 8 Other Income
on page 2 of your return. All foreign income must be
reported on your return, in order to receive any for-
eign income exclusion.
Nonqualified Distribution from Alabama 529
Savings Plan. If you receive a distribution from your
Alabama 529 Savings plan and do not use the dis-
tribution to pay qualified expenses, the amount not
used for qualifying expenses is taxable. Enter the
amount of the nonqualified distribution plus 10% of
the distribution and description on line 8, Columns B
and C, Other Income.
Nonqualified Withdrawal from ABLE Savings
Account. If you make a nonqualified withdrawal as
defined by Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C 529A),
the amount of the nonqualified withdrawal, plus 10
percent of the amount withdrawn, shall be taxable
as income in the year of the nonqualified withdrawal.
Report this amount on line 8, Columns B and C,
Other Income.
Note: Net operating losses are not allowed as a de-
duction on line 8 (Other Income). Net operating
losses can only be claimed on Form NOL-85A.
Page 2, Part II
Adjustments To Income
Line 1
Individual Retirement Arrangement
(IRA), Keogh Retirement Plan, and
SEP Deduction
Contributions to Individual Retirement Ar range-
ments, Keogh retirement plans, and SEP deduction
are deductible as an adjustment to income from “All
Sources” in Column B. The amount deductible in
Column C is limited to the contributions made from
income attributable to Alabama sources. The
amount deductible in Columns B and C is subject to
the same limitations as on your federal return. How-
ever, when figuring the limitation on the amount de-
ductible you must use the adjusted gross income
shown on line 12, Columns B and C of your Alabama
Return.
Line 2
Penalty on Early Withdrawal of
Savings
The Form 1099-INT given to you by your bank or
savings and loan association will show the amount

of any penalty you were charged for withdrawing
funds from your time savings deposit before its ma-
turity. Enter this amount on line 2, Column B only.
(Be sure to include the interest income on Part I, line
1, column B.) Note: Penalties on early withdrawal
from retirement plans are not deductible.
Line 3
Moving Expenses
Certain active duty Armed Forces Members may
deduct certain moving expenses as an adjustment
to gross income to the same extent and subject to
the same limitations as currently allowed under fed-
eral rules with the following exception:
The new job location must be within the State of
Alabama.
If you meet the requirements, complete and at-
tach Federal Form 3903 to figure the amount of
moving expenses. Enter the total and the new job
location as indicated on line 3.
Line 4
Self-employed Health Insurance
Deduction
Premiums paid for self-employed health insur-
ance are deductible as an adjustment to income
from “All sources” in Column B to the same extent as
determined in accordance with the Internal Revenue
Code Section 162.
The amount deductible in Column C is limited to
premiums paid based on the percentage of Ala bama
self-employment income to total self-employment
income.
Line 6
Certified Firefighter Health Insurance
Premiums
Effective with tax year 2020, certified Alabama
firefighters may deduct 100 percent of insurance
premiums paid for cancer insurance coverage as de-
fined in Act 2019-361, provided the premiums have
not been deducted from federal gross income or are
deductible under any other law. Insurance premi-
ums paid with pre-tax dollars will not be deductible.
Line 7
Contributions to an Achieving a
Better Life Experience (ABLE)
savings account
Act 2021- 514 allows an individual taxpayer to
deduct contributions made on or after January 1,
2021 to an Alabama ABLE savings account, by or
on behalf of such individual, of an amount up to five
thousand dollars ($5,000) per year.
Page 2, Part III
Other Adjustments
Line 1
Alimony
Enter the total amount of alimony paid as shown
on your federal return.
You can deduct payments of alimony or sepa-
rate maintenance made under a court decree to the
same extent allowed for federal income tax pur-
poses. Do not deduct lump-sum cash or property
settlements, voluntary payments not made under a
court order or a written separation agreement or
amounts specified as child support.
Line 2
Adoption Expenses
Enter the total amount of adoption expenses you
paid or incurred.
The reasonable medical and legal expenses paid
or incurred by a nonresident taxpayer in connection
with the adoption of a minor may be deducted. The
term “medical expenses” include any medical and
hospital expenses of the adoptee and the adoptee’s
biological mother which are incident to the adoptee’s
birth, and subsequent medical care and which, in the
case of the adoptee, are paid or incurred before the
petition is granted. Adoption agency fees are not de-
ductible. The expenses allowed in your 2021 return
are limited to those expenses paid or incurred on or
after January 1, 2021, even though adoption pro-
ceedings may have begun before this date.
Page 2, Part IV
Federal Income Tax Deduction
The federal income tax allowed as a deduction to
a nonresident of Alabama is the amount calculated
using the federal income tax deduction worksheet
on page 27. The balance is then prorated by the per-
centage of income earned in Alabama to the total in-
come from all sources. Self-Employment, Social
Security, and Medicare taxes can only be claimed if
you itemize deductions on Schedule A.
If you filed a joint federal return and have elected
to file a separate Alabama Return, you must com-
plete all lines in Part IV to determine your allowable
deduction. If you are single or married and filing a
joint Alabama Return with your spouse, you should
skip lines 1 through 3.
If you are a nonresident alien with income earned
in Alabama, the deduction for Federal Income Tax
should be computed by applying the ratio of Ala-
bama source income to total income received from
sources within the United States. In other words, in
the case of a nonresident alien, total income from all
sources does not include foreign source income that
is not required to be reported for Federal Income Tax
purposes.
Alabama income is determined for nonresident
aliens in the same manner as for other nonresidents.
Line 1
Enter your joint federal adjusted gross income.
Line 2
Enter your federal adjusted gross income.
Line 3
Divide line 2 by line 1.
Line 4

General Information
ALL TAXPAYERS MUST
COMPLETE THIS SECTION
Please follow the line-by-line instructions on
Form 40NR to complete this section.
SECTION
General
4Information
13
This section contains general information about
items such as amending your tax return, how long to
keep records, filing a return for a deceased person,
and when you should receive your refund.
Substitute Tax Forms
You may not use your own version of a tax form
unless it meets the requirements of the Alabama De-
partment of Revenue. All privately designed and
printed substitute tax forms must be approved by
the Alabama Department of Revenue.
Penalties and Interest
Interest. Interest is charged on taxes not paid by
their due date even if an extension of time is granted.
If your return is not filed by the due date and you
owe additional tax, you should add interest from the
due date of the federal return to date of payment.
Submit payment of the tax and interest with your re-
turn. Alabama law provides that the same rate of in-
terest shall be collected as currently prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service. Any of the Alabama
Taxpayer Service Centers listed in this booklet will
provide you the current rate of interest in effect at
the time your return is filed.
Failure To Timely File Return. Alabama law
provides a penalty of 10% of the tax due or $50,
whichever is greater, if the return is filed late. The
penalty does not apply to a tax return filed indicating
no tax due or a refund.
Failure To Timely Pay Tax. The penalty for not
paying the tax when due is 1% of the unpaid amount
for each month or fraction of a month that the tax re-
mains unpaid. The maximum penalty is 25%.
Underpayment Penalty. If the amount you owe
for 2021 is $500.00 or more you may owe the
penalty for 2021 if the total of your withholding and
timely estimated tax payments did not equal at least
the smaller of:
1. 90% of your 2021 tax (66-2/3% for farmers),
OR
2. 100% of your 2020 tax. (Your 2020 tax return
must cover a 12-month period.) Use Form 2210AL to
calculate the penalty.
Note: If you include interest, a failure to timely file, or
a failure to timely pay penalty with your payment,
identify and enter these amounts in the bottom mar-
gin of Form 40NR, page 1. Refer to form 2210AL for
instructions on how to calculate the underpayment
penalty.
Other Penalties. There are also penalties for un-
derpayment due to negligence, underpayment due
to fraud, and filing a frivolous return.
Any person failing to file a return as required by
Alabama law or rendering a false or fraudulent re-
turn will be assessed. The assessment will be based
on the best information obtainable by the department
with respect to the income of the taxpayer. In the
case of a willfully false or fraudulent return having
been rendered, the department shall add a penalty
of not more than 50% of such tax. This penalty is in
addition to any interest due as described above.
Criminal Liability. Section 40-29-112, Code of
Alabama 1975, as amended, provides for a more
severe penalty for not filing tax returns. Any person
required to file a return under this title who willfully
fails to make such return shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined
not more than $25,000 or imprisoned not more than
one year, or both. Section 40-29-110 provides that
any person who willfully attempts to evade any tax
imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall be
guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall
be fined not more than $100,000 or imprisoned for
not more than five years, or both. These penalties
are in addition to any other penalties provided for by
Alabama law.
Address Change
If you move after filing your return you should no-
tify the Department of Revenue by sending a
Change of Address Form available on the Depart-
ment’s website under the General Tax Forms to:
Alabama Department of Revenue
Income Tax Administration Division
P.O. Box 327410
Montgomery, AL 36132-7410.
Corresponding With
Alabama Department
of Revenue
Be sure to include your social security number
and phone number in any correspondence with the
Alabama Department of Revenue.
How Long Should
Records Be Kept?
Keep records of income, deductions, and credits
shown on your return, as well as any worksheets
used to figure them, until the statute of limitations
runs out for that return. Usually this is three years
from the date the return was filed. If income that
should have been reported was not reported and the
income omitted is in excess of 25% of the stated in-
come, the period of limitation does not expire until
six (6) years after the due date of the return or six (6)
years after the date the return was filed, whichever
is later. There is no period of limitation when a
return is false or fraudulent, or when no return is
filed.
Also, keep copies of your filed tax returns as part
of your records. You should keep some records
longer than the period of limitation. For example,
keep property records (including those on your own
home) as long as they are needed to figure the basis
of the original or replacement property. Copies of
your tax returns will help in preparing future returns,
and they are necessary if you file an amended re-
turn. Copies of your returns and your other records
may be helpful to your survivor, or the executor or
administrator of your estate.
Requesting a Copy
of Your Tax Return
If you need a copy of your tax return or tax ac-
count information use Form 4506-A, Request for
Copy of Tax Form or Income Tax Account Informa-
tion. The charge for a copy of a return is $5. There
is no charge for tax account information.
Amended Return
If you have already filed a return and become
aware of any changes to income, deductions or
credits, you should file an amended tax return. You
should file a completed Alabama Individual Income
Tax Return with the “Amended” box checked. A de-
tailed explanation page of all the changes made
should be attached to the tax return.
Note: If your State return is changed for any reason,
it may affect your federal income tax liability. This in-
cludes changes made as a result of an examination
of your return by the Alabama De part ment of Rev-
enue. Contact the Internal Revenue Serv ice for more
information.
Death of Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return, the tax-
payer’s spouse or personal representative must file
a return for the person who died if they were required
to file a return. A personal representative can be an
executor, administrator, or anyone who is in charge
of the taxpayer’s property.
The person who files the return should check the
box indicating which taxpayer is deceased and pro-
vide the date of death in the space provided. A copy
of the death certificate must also be attached to the
return.
If the taxpayer did not have to file a return but
had tax withheld, a return must be filed to receive a
refund.
If your spouse died within the tax year, you can
file a joint return even if you did not remarry. You
can also file a joint return if your spouse died before
filing the return. A joint return should show both your
and your spouse’s income during the tax year. Also,
write “Filing as surviving spouse” in the area where
you sign the return. If someone else is the personal
representative, he or she must also sign.
If you are claiming a refund as a surviving
spouse filing a joint return with the deceased and
you follow the above instructions, no other form is
needed unless you receive a joint refund check and
the refund check should be reissued in your name
only. In such case, you will need to file Form 1310A.
Form 1310A is used when you are a surviving
spouse requesting reissuance of the refund check
in your name only, a court-appointed or certified per-
sonal representative and did not file paperwork with
decedent’s original return, or any other person claim-
ing the refund for the decedent or on behalf of the
decedent’s estate.
14
Payment of Estimated Tax
Every individual who reasonably expects to owe
at least $500 in 2022 is required to file and pay es-
timated tax.
Note: If the TOTAL ESTIMATED TAX for 2022 is
less than five hundred dollars ($500), an estimate is
not required to be paid.
The procedures for filing and paying estimated
tax and the due dates are similar to Federal Income
Tax Law. Do not include payment of your estimated
tax with the payment for tax due on your individual
return because the quarterly voucher and remittance
MUST be mailed separately. Additional instructions
for filing your estimate are on the back of Form 40ES.
No refund will be made for any estimated taxes
paid except when such amount is taken as a credit
on an income tax return filed at the end of the tax-
able year by the payor or his authorized represen-
tative, or on an amended income tax return if the full
amount paid is not claimed on the original income
tax return.
Automatic Extension
If you know you cannot file your return by the due
date, you do not need to file for an extension. You
will automatically be granted an extension until Oc-
tober 15, 2022. If you anticipate that you will owe ad-
ditional tax on your return, you should submit your
payment with a payment voucher (Form 40V) by the
due date of the federal return.
Except in cases where taxpayers are abroad, no
extension will be granted for more than 6 months.
An extension means only that you will not be as-
sessed a penalty for filing your return after the due
date. Interest on the additional tax due from the due
date of the return and any penalties will be assessed
if applicable to your return.
Setoff Debt Collection
If you owe money or have a delinquent account
under any of the following public assistance pro-
grams, your refund may be applied to offset that
debt:
Any and all of the public assistance pro-
grams administered by the Alabama Department
of Human Resources including the Child Support
Act of 1979, Chapter 10 of Title 38.
Any and all of the assistance programs ad-
ministered by the Alabama Medicaid Agency.
Overpayment of unemployment
compensation.
Any and all unpaid debt submitted by local
governmental entities.
Any and all court fees/fines owed to the Ad-
ministrative Office of Courts.
If the Alabama Department of Human Re-
sources, the Alabama Department of Labor, the Ad-
ministrative Office of Courts, or the Alabama
Medicaid Agency notifies the Alabama Department
of Revenue that you have a delinquent account in
excess of $25, part or all of your refund may be ap-
plied to offset that debt. If you are married and filing
a joint return, the joint refund may be applied to off-
set any of these debts.
IMPORTANT: If you have been assessed taxes
from a prior year, your current year refund will be ap-
plied to that debt even if the liability resulted from a
jointly filed return.
Federal Refund
Offset Program
Your 2021 federal or state refund will be taken
to satisfy any outstanding liabilities owed to the State
of Alabama or to the Internal Revenue Service.
When Should I
Receive My Refund?
If you are due a refund, it will be mailed to you at
the earliest possible date. Normally, it takes up to 90
days to process your return and get your refund to
you. The earlier you file your return the sooner you
will receive your refund.
If you do not receive your refund within 90 days
of the due date or within 90 days after you file your
return, whichever is later, the state will pay you in-
terest and include it with your refund.
It may take longer than 90 days to process
your refund if it is incomplete or incorrect. Your re-
fund may be delayed for the following reasons:
Your name and/or address is incorrect.
Your social security number is incorrect or not
shown in the space provided.
You failed to attach all of your withholding state-
ments (W-2 Forms).
You failed to attach one or more of the support-
ing schedules.
You made an error in figuring your return.
You mailed your return to the wrong address.
You filed more than one return.
You submitted a copy instead of the original
return.
You have not paid all taxes due for a prior year.
The Department needs additional information to
explain the income or deductions reported on

Instructions For
Schedule A
Itemized Deductions
Changes You Should Note
The itemized deductions you may claim on your
Alabama return are similar to the deductions allowed
for federal purposes; however, certain items may be
treated differently. Please see the instructions which
follow for an explanation of these differences.
Purpose of Schedule
Some taxpayers should itemize their deductions
because they will save money. See Itemized or
Standard Deduction on page 8.
If you itemize, you can deduct part of your med-
ical and dental expenses, certain taxes, contribu-
tions, and certain miscellaneous deductions. A
nonresident of Alabama must prorate these de-
ductions by the ratio of Alabama adjusted gross
income to total adjusted gross income from all
sources. Unreimbursed business expenses may be
deducted if the business expenses were incurred
while earning Alabama income.
Married, Filing Separate Returns. If married
and filing separate returns, both spouses must claim
the same deduction unless the spouses have lived
apart for the entire year, in which case each spouse
may claim either deduction. However, neither
spouse may claim a deduction for expenses paid by
the other
.
Part-Year Residents and Part-Year Non resi-
dents. If you were a resident of Alabama for a part
of 2021 and you are required to file Form 40, you
may claim only the itemized deductions you actu-
ally paid while a resident of Alabama.
15
If you had income from Alabama sources during
the period you were not a resident of Alabama you
should also file Form 40NR. You should claim on
your nonresident return only the itemized deductions
actually paid during the period you were a
nonresident.
Lines 1 through 4
Medical and Dental Expenses
Before you can figure your total medical and den-
tal expenses, you must complete your Form 40NR,
page 1, lines 1-12.
Medical and dental expenses are allowed as
itemized deductions to the same extent as allowed
for federal purposes with the following exception:
You may deduct only that part of your medical
and dental expenses that is more than 4% of the
amount on Form 40NR, line 12, Column B.
Do not include in medical and dental expenses
insurance premiums paid by an employer-sponsored
health insurance plan (cafeteria plan). You can
deduct self-employment health insurance premiums
to the same extent as federal purposes.
Line 1
Enter the total of your medical and dental ex-
penses after reducing these expenses by any pay-
ments received from insurance or other sources.
Include amounts you paid for doctors, dentists,
nurses, hospitals, prescription medicines and drugs,
or insulin. Also, include the total amount you paid for
insurance premiums for medical and dental care,
amounts paid for transportation and lodging, and
other expenses such as hearing aids, dentures, eye-
glasses, and contact lenses.
If your insurance company paid your doctor or
dentist directly for part of your medical expenses, and
you paid only the amount that remained, include in
your medical expenses ONLY the amount you paid.
If you received a reimbursement in 2021 of prior
year medical or dental expenses, do not reduce your
2021 expenses by this amount. You must include
the reimbursement in income on Form 40NR, page
2, Part I, line 8 if you deducted the medical expense
in the earlier year and the deduction reduced your
tax. Federal Pub. 502 tells you how to figure the
amount to include in income.
When figuring the deduction, you may include
medical and dental bills you paid for:
Yourself.
Your spouse.
All dependents claimed on your return.
Your child whom you do not claim as a depend-
ent because of the federal rules explained for
Children of Divorced or Separated Parents.
Examples of Medical and Dental Pay-
ments You CAN Deduct
To the extent you were not reimbursed, you can
deduct what you paid for:
Medicare Part B insurance.
Prescription medicines and drugs, or insulin.
Premiums paid to private insurers for additional
Medicare coverage.
Medical doctors, dentists, eye doctors, chiro-
practors, osteopaths, podiatrists, psychiatrists,
psychologists, physical therapists, acupunctur-
ists, and psychoanalysts (medical care only).
Medical examinations, X-ray and laboratory serv-
ices, insulin treatment, and whirlpool baths the
doctor ordered.
If you pay someone to do both nursing and
housework, you can deduct only the cost of the
nursing help.
Hospital care (including meals and lodging), clinic
costs, and lab fees.
Medical treatment at a center for drug addicts or
alcoholics.
Cost of a weight-loss program for the purpose of
treating diagnosed obesity or another recognized

braces, crutches, wheelchairs, guide dogs, and
the cost of maintaining them.
Lodging expenses (but not meals) paid while
away from home to receive medical care in a
hospital or a medical care facility that is related to
a hospital. Do not include more than $50 a night
for each eligible person.
Ambulance service and other travel costs to get
medical care. If you used your own car, you can
claim what you spent for gas and oil to go to and
from the place you received medical care, or you
can claim the federal mileage rate. Add parking
and tolls to the amount you claim under either
method.
Examples of Medical and Dental
Payments You CANNOT Deduct
Premiums paid by an employer-sponsored health
insurance plan (cafeteria plan).
The basic cost of Medicare Insurance (Medi care

when you may deduct capital expenditures and spe-
cial care for handicapped persons.
Lines 5 through 9
Taxes (Other than Federal
Income Tax) You CAN Deduct
If deductions are itemized, you CAN DEDUCT
the following taxes:
Real estate taxes (line 5). Include taxes you paid
on property you own in any state that was not
used for business. If you pay real estate taxes as
part of your mortgage payments do not take a
deduction for that amount. Deduct the taxes in
the year the mortgage company actually paid
them to the taxing authority.
FICA tax (Social Security and Medicare) (line
6). You can deduct the FICA tax (Social Security
and Medicare) withheld on your income by your
employer. If you worked for more than one em-
ployer resulting in more than the maximum FICA
tax being withheld, the excess amount claimed
as Federal Income Tax Withheld on your federal
return cannot be claimed as an itemized deduc-
tion on your Alabama return.
Federal Self-Employment Taxes (line 6). You
can deduct the Federal Self-Employment Tax
you paid during the year 2021 for the tax year
2020 and/or prior years.
Railroad Retirement Tax (line 7). You can
deduct the railroad retirement tax you paid in
2021. Only your contribution to tier one railroad
retirement is deductible as an itemized
deduction.
Other taxes (line 8). In addition to the above
taxes, you can also deduct:
(a) City, County, and Occupational Tax, as
shown on your W-2.
(b) State Unemployment Insurance Tax (S.U.I.).
Employees were not required to pay S.U.I.
Tax in 2021 since the full amount was paid by
their employer. However, if S.U.I. Tax was
paid to a state other than Alabama, it may be
deducted.
(c) Federal gift taxes. Federal gift taxes are de-
ductible only if you are the person making
the gift and you paid the tax. (The person re-
ceiving the gift cannot claim this deduction
even though he paid the tax.)
(d) Personal property taxes. This tax must be
based on the value alone. For example, if
part of the fee you paid for the registration of
your car was based on the car’s value and
part was based on its weight, you can deduct
only the part based on value.
16
(e) Generation-Skipping Transfer (GST) taxes.
Generation-Skipping transfer taxes imposed
on income distributions by 26 U.S.C. 2601
are deductible if you paid or accrued the
taxes within the taxable year.
Taxes You CANNOT Deduct
include but are not limited to
State income taxes. If you owe taxes to the State
of Alabama, you may be entitled to a credit
against the taxes you owe to the state of which
you are a legal resident. See instructions for that
state.

ments to your property.
Lines 10a through 14
Interest You Paid
The interest you paid that can be claimed as an
itemized deduction is limited in most cases to the
same amount as currently allowable for federal
purposes.
You should show on Schedule A interest you
paid on nonbusiness items only. Whether your in-
terest expense is treated as investment interest, per-
sonal interest, or business interest depends on how
and when you used the loan proceeds.
Note: Personal interest is no longer deductible.
Complete and attach Alabama Form 4952A if
you are claiming investment interest as an itemized
deduction.
If you qualify for the mortgage interest credit on
your federal return, the total interest you paid (be-
fore the credit) is deductible for Alabama purposes.
For further information describing the interest
you may deduct, refer to federal instructions and
publications.
Lines 15 through 18
Gifts to Charity
Contributions are allowable as itemized deduc-
tions to the same extent as currently allowed for fed-
eral purposes. However, when determining any
limitations, you must use adjusted gross income
from Column B, line 12.
You can deduct what you gave to organizations
that are religious, charitable, educational, scientific,
or literary in purpose. You can also deduct what you
gave to organizations that work to prevent cruelty to
children or animals.
Note: See Federal Pub. 526 for more information
Examples of these organizations are
Churches, temples, synagogues, Salvation
Army, Red Cross, CARE, Goodwill Industries,
United Way, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys and
Girls Clubs of America, etc.
Fraternal orders if the gifts will be used for the
purposes listed above.

Nonprofit schools, hospitals, and organizations
with the purpose of finding a cure for or helping
people who have arthritis, asthma, birth defects,
cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, diabetes,
heart disease, hemophilia, mental illness or re-
tardation, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy,
tuberculosis, etc.
Federal, state, and local governments if the gifts
are solely for public purposes.
If you contributed to a charitable organization
and also received a benefit from it, you can deduct
only the amount that is more than the benefit you re-
ceived. If you do not know whether you can deduct
what you gave to an organization, check with that
organization or with the IRS.
Contributions You MAY Deduct
Contributions may be in cash (keep canceled
checks, receipts, or other reliable written records
showing the name of the organization and the date
and amount given,) property, or out-of-pocket ex-
penses you paid to do volunteer work for the kinds
of organizations described above. If you drove to
and from the volunteer work, you may take 14 cents
a mile or the actual cost of gas and oil. Add parking
and tolls to the amount you claim under either
method. (But don’t deduct any amounts that were
repaid to you.)
You MAY NOT Deduct as
Contributions
Travel expenses (including meals and lodging)
while away from home unless there was no sig-
nificant element of personal pleasure, recreation,
or vacation in the travel.
Political contributions.
Dues, fees, or bills paid to country clubs, lodges,
fraternal orders, or similar groups.
Value of any benefit, such as food, entertain-
ment, or merchandise that you received in con-
nection with a contribution to a charitable
or gan i zation.
Example. You paid $100 to a charitable organi-
zation to attend a fundraising dinner. To figure the
amount of your deductible charitable contribution,
subtract the value of the dinner from the total amount
you paid. If the value of the dinner was $40, your de-
ductible contribution is $60.
Cost of raffle, bingo, or lottery tickets.
Cost of tuition.
Value of your time or services.
Value of blood given to a blood bank.
The transfer of a future interest in tangible per-
sonal property (generally, until the entire interest

c. Groups that are run for personal profit.
d. Groups with the purpose of lobbying for
changes in the laws.

Record Keeping. If you gave property, you
should keep a receipt or written statement from the
organization you gave the property to, or a reliable
written record that shows the organization’s name
and address, the date and location of the gift, and a
description of the property. You should also keep re-
liable written records for each gift of property that in-
clude the following information:
a. How you figured the property’s value at the
time it was given. (If the value was determined by
an appraisal, you should also keep a signed copy of
the appraisal.)
b. The cost or other basis of the property if you
must reduce it by any ordinary income or capital gain
that would have resulted if the property had been
sold at its fair market value.
c. How you figured your deduction if you chose
to reduce your deduction for gifts of capital gain
property.
d. Any conditions attached to the gift.
Note: If your total deduction for gifts of property is
over $500, or if you gave less than your entire inter-
est in the property, or you made a “qualified conser-
vation contribution” under Federal Section 170(h),
your records should contain additional information.
See Federal Pub. 526 for details.

18
Line 16
Enter the contributions of property. If you gave
used items such as clothing or furniture, deduct their
fair market value at the time you gave them. Fair
market value is what a willing buyer would pay a will-
ing seller when neither has to buy or sell and both
are aware of the conditions of the sale. If the amount
of your deduction is more than $500, you must com-
plete and attach Federal Form 8283, Noncash
Charitable Contributions. If your total deduction is
over $5,000, you may also need appraisals of the
values of the donated property. For this purpose, the
“amount of your deduction” means your deduction
BEFORE applying any income limitations that could
result in a carryover of contributions. See Federal
Form 8283 and its instructions for details.
Line 17
Enter any carryover of contributions that you
were unable to deduct in an earlier year because it
exceeded your adjusted gross income limit.
Line 19
Qualified Long-term Care Coverage
Premiums paid pursuant to a qualifying insur-
ance contract for qualified long term care coverage
paid by the taxpayer may be deducted on line 19.
Qualified long-term care services include care for
necessary diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, and

individual in a qualified facility or services which are
provided pursuant to a place of care prescribed by a
licensed health care practitioner.

The gain or profit from any sale, exchange, or
other disposition by a nonresident of real or tangible

it is not connected with a business carried on in this
state.
The gain or (loss) realized from the disposition
of property located outside of Alabama is not tax-
able to a nonresident, but the gain or (loss) must be
included in the total adjusted gross income from all
sources in order to compute the ratio of Alabama ad-
justed gross income to total adjusted gross income
from all sources.
The gain or profit of a nonresident from the sale,
exchange, or other disposition of intangible personal
property including stocks, bonds, and other securi-
ties, is ordinarily not taxable and should not be in-
cluded in gross income except to the extent that
such intangible personal property has acquired a
business legal jurisdiction in Alabama. Likewise,
losses sustained from the sale, ex change, or other
disposition of such property are not deductible ex-

trade or business, or of property held by the taxpayer
for the production of income, shall be allowable as a
depreciation deduction. The allowance does not

Use lines 6 and 7 to report income you re ceived
from partnerships, estates, trusts, and S corpora-
tions. Alabama taxes income from these sources
only to the extent the income was earned in
Alabama.
List the income you received from these sources
on lines 6a through 6c. Show the name, address,
and FEIN of each partnership, estate, trust, etc. Re-
port the total income received from these sources in
Column B and only the income earned from Ala-
bama sources in Column C.
Partnerships. If you are a partner of a partner-
ship doing business in Alabama, you should receive
an Alabama Schedule K-1 Form 65 from the part-
nership. Report your share of the income (whether
you received it or not) or net loss (not to exceed
your basis) of the partnership in Part II. A nonresi-
dent must pay tax on his share of Alabama income
from the partnership.
Beginning with the 2001 tax year, Alabama law
required composite filing for all partnerships with
nonresident members. In addition to reporting your
share of the partnership’s profit or loss on Alabama
Schedule E, any composite payments made on your
behalf should be shown on Schedule CP. Sched-
ule CP, Section B, line 1 will be entered on Form
40NR, page 1, line 23.
Estates and Trusts. Nonresidents are taxed on
income from estates and trusts only to the extent
that the income was earned in Alabama. The ad-
ministrator, executor, or trustee should advise you
of the amount to report.
S Corporations. An “Alabama S Corporation”
means any domestic corporation or foreign corpo-
ration qualified to do business or doing business in
Alabama which has in effect an election to be an S
corporation under 26 U.S.C. Section 1362.
If you are a shareholder of an Alabama S corpo-
ration, you should receive an Alabama Schedule
K-1 (Form 20S) from the S corporation. Report your
share of the income (whether you received it or not)
or net loss (not to exceed your basis) of the cor-
poration in Part II. A nonresident must pay tax on
his share of an Alabama S corporation’s income.
If you claim credit for taxes paid by an S cor po-
ra tion on your behalf, enter this amount on Schedule
CP. Schedule CP, Section B, line 1 will be entered
on Form 40NR, page 1, line 23.
The net gain or (loss) from all items listed in lines
6a through 6c should be entered on line 7. Also in-
clude these amounts in summary on line 8 of Part
III. See Schedule K-1 65 and Schedule K-1 20S in-
structions for more information.
Note: A loss from an irrevocable trust cannot be
claimed on Schedule E part II. See administrative
rule 810-3-25-.05(8)(b)

EXAMPLE:
Mr. and Mrs. Brown are filing a joint return and
checked box 2 on their return. Their taxable income
on line 18 of Form 40NR is $23,360. First, they find
the $23,300 - $23,400 income line. Next, they find
the column for married filing jointly and read down
the column. The amount shown where the income
line and the filing status column meet is $1,088. This
is the amount they must write on line 19 of Form
40NR.

The Alabama Department of Revenue offers several
methods for filing your Individual Income Tax Return.
Federal/State Electronic Filing Program
Your professional tax practitioner can file both your
Federal and State returns by using the E-File Program
or can print a 2-D Barcode for you.
Free Filing of
Federal/State Return
Free electronic filing of your Alabama
and Federal Income Tax Returns are provided for low
income wage earners, senior citizens, students, and active duty military
personnel. For more information on the qualifications, visit our website
at https://revenue.alabama.gov/individual-corporate/individual-
income-tax/individual-income-tax-electronic-filing-options/
Federal/State On-Line Filing Program
You can file your own Federal and State return on-line by
purchasing the program from a local retailer or going to
https://revenue.alabama.gov/individual-corporate/
approved-software-vendors/ to see a listing of Approved On-Line
Service Providers. If you do not
want to file electronically, these programs will print out a 2-D Barcode.
This option is available to all taxpayers filing an Alabama Individual Income tax
return. Please visit https://revenue.alabama.gov/services/my-alabama-taxes-sign-up/
to sign up and get started filling out your return.
2-D Barcode Filing Program
All the programs above should produce a 2-D
Barcode for you. Also, you can print a 2-D Barcode
by using our fillable Form 40 or Form 40NR which
you can obtain at https://revenue.alabama.gov/
forms/?d=income. After you fill out the form and
print it, a 2-D Barcode will be produced on the top of
the form. You can still mail your return, but use of
the 2-D Barcode will ensure faster
processing.
