14198: AL - EF 0357

Alabama EF Message 0357 states: 

If Consumer Use Tax is zero then the check box at the bottom of AL screen 1 or the Consumer Use Tax (USE) screen must be checked to certify that no use tax is due. Due to AL DOR rules, this may not be defaulted by the software.

Alabama DOR requires that an indication is made within the software if the taxpayer owes no consumer use tax for the current tax year. The No Consumer Use Tax due check box can be found on AL USE screen. 

To clear the EF Message, this box must be checked if no use tax amounts have been entered on the AL USE screen.

For more information on Alabama Consumer Use Tax, see the AL 40 Instruction Booklet.
