By submitting this application, the above party agrees to abide by the laws and statutes of Alabama in the filing of returns
on behalf of Alabama taxpayers. This application in no way grants power of attorney for this party to act on behalf of the
taxpayer in matters involving tax disputes. This application does not grant the above party authority to act as an agent of
the Department of Revenue. Any agency relationship would exist between the above party and their client(s).
All returns must be timely filed and paid electronically over the Internet using the Alabama Paperless Filing System. As a
third party bulk filer, you have the option to either enter each client’s filing information on-screen or send an electronic file
that contains the information for your clients. Note: One EFT payment cannot cover multiple accounts.
As a third party bulk filer with the State of Alabama, you are required to:
• Permit the Alabama Department of Revenue to conduct scheduled or unscheduled audits;
• Provide the Department of Revenue with a copy of any client contract upon request. At the time the request is
made, the Department will also request a copy of a valid power of attorney allowing you to file and/or pay
Alabama taxes on behalf of the client. The power of attorney must also allow you to receive information about
those filings or payments directly from the Department.
• Provide the Department of Revenue an electronic initial list of all clients and provide electronic updates on a
monthly basis. (Updates should show only additions and deletions.)
ALL CLIENTS SHOULD BE REGISTERED WITH THE
ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE AND HAVE VALID ACCOUNTS.
If the Department of Revenue determines that your continued business operation presents a risk of loss to your clients, the
Department can suspend your registration and notify your clients of the suspension. The Department can also revoke your
registration and/or assess a penalty if the Department determines that you are not in compliance with the law.
