The Alabama Form AL8453 is to be retained by the ERO for a period of three years from the due date

of the return or the date it is filed, whichever is later. Again, Do Not Mail the AL8453 to the

Alabama Department of Revenue!

EROs serving as agents of the ADOR are required to retain the original Form AL8453 for a

period of three years from the due date of the return or the date the return was filed,

whichever is later. Transmission of the Alabama electronic return by the ERO is an attestation by the

ERO that the Form AL8453 has been properly prepared and is being retained by the ERO.

Certain occasions may arise where the original Form AL8453 is required by the ADOR. If the need

arises, the ADOR will request the document in writing and the ERO will provide the original Form

AL8453 within five working days of the request.

If for any reason the ERO ceases his/her business, all Form AL8453s and wage and tax statements

currently maintained by the ERO must be forwarded to the ADOR - contact the Alabama ERO Help

Desk at (334) 242-2117. Responsibility for the Alabama Forms AL8453 can be transferred to another

ERO upon receiving written approval from the Department.

The ERO, if also the paid preparer, must provide the taxpayer with a copy of the Alabama return,

including the Form AL8453. Otherwise, the ERO must provide the taxpayer only with a copy of the

completed Form AL8453.
