State of Alabama
Checks Will Be Issued
In 2014 when you file your 2013 Alabama return, if you are due a refund you will automatically receive a Chase Bank Debit Card unless you opt out. In 2015 you will no longer have a choice. A reasonable person might ask, why our state would choose a bank that does not have a single branch office in the entire state. I recently put that question to Ann Winborne, Tax Administration Assistant Division Director Alabama Individual and Corporate Tax Division. "We put this program out for bid and Chase Bank offered to do it for free."
Note: This process is not quite as easy as it has been portrayed on TV and radio. Attention to detail is crucial to a successful claim.
