State returns by using the E-File Program or can print a 2-D
Barcode for you.

Returns are provided for low income wage earners, senior
citizens, students, and active duty military personnel. For more

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
http://www.revenue.alabama.gov/incometax/PC_ONLINE.htm
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.
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 http://www.revenue.
alabama.gov/incometax/2009itforms.html. 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.
