File a non-resident Alabama income tax return to get your Alabama withholding back if your company withheld Alabama tax in error. The Alabama section of TurboTax does not let you adjust W-2 information so you’ll have to edit your W-2.
- Click on Wages & Income at the top
- Edit/Add Job (W-2)
- Click Review next to the correct W-2 on Your W-2 info so far
- Continue on OK, let's update the info we have for you and your employer
- Go to the Alabama row of the W-2. On Box 16 – State wages, tips, etc. change the state wages to $0. The AL REFUND box at the top should change to match the amount of AL withholding in Box 17.
You can e-file Alabama, but since the income will not match the W-2, mail your AL-40NR instead. Include a copy of your South Carolina SC-1040 showing you reported all your income to SC and attach a note explaining that AL tax was withheld in error.
