Statement from Alabama Department of Revenue: For the most up-to-date information concerning your current year refund status, call +1 (855) 894-7391 or check our website, then click on "Where's my refund?." Return processing times vary depending on many factors, including the complexity of the return and our identity verification processes. Please allow 8-12 weeks to receive your refund. The department is once again converting some tax refunds to paper checks that were requested to be delivered by direct deposit. This change is intended to prevent criminals from easily diverting fraudulently filed refunds to their own accounts. Avoiding potential refund fraud by sending paper checks outweighs taking the risk of sending a refund electronically to the wrong party.
