Since you are an AL resident, a couple of things. One, not a great solution but a solution so you can e-file AL correctly. File the federal return and wait for it to be accepted. Save a copy of your return. Then go back into your return and select that you want to itemize on the federal so the program shifts the federal to itemize and creates the AL forms you need. Then you can e-file AL.
Two, the AL deadline this year is Oct 17 due to the law changes in Feb. You may be affected by the changes and may want to wait or amend later if it affects you.
See ARPA Tax Relief – Alabama Department of Revenue which states:
What types of Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds might qualify me for an increased federal income tax deduction?
- Federal child tax credit (including advanced payments received in 2021)
- The earned income tax credit
- Federal child and dependent care credits
If you did not claim any of the above credits on your federal return, then you are not eligible for the enhanced Alabama Federal Income Tax Credit.
An automatic six-month extension is granted until October 17, 2022, for 2021 individual income tax returns. However, there is no extension for payments.
