Section 810-13-1-.15 - Proof Of Payment

(1) The Department will credit the taxpayer with the amount paid as of the date the payment is received by the State of Alabama's bank account. The proof of payment by the taxpayer shall depend on the payment method utilized.

(2) An ACH Debit transaction may be proven by use of the verification code, received from the Data Collection Center when the transaction was initiated, along with bank statements or other evidence from the bank that the transaction was settled.

(3) Since an ACH Credit transaction is initiated by the taxpayer, the taxpayer has responsibility for the proper and timely completion of the transaction. The taxpayer generally will be given an ACH trace number by the bank originating the transaction. This trace number along with proof of the NACHA CCD+ entry showing the State of Alabama's bank routing and transit number and bank account number, plus additional evidence, such as bank statements, that the transaction has been settled, will constitute proof of payment.
