What to know about taxes in Alabama

Alabama lets you deduct federal income tax paid on your state return. Several cities levy occupational taxes, and local sales taxes push combined rates among the highest in the country.

Alabama residents file a state return alongside the federal one, and people who move in or out during the year, or earn income across state lines, often need part-year or nonresident returns. We prepare federal and Alabama returns together so nothing is taxed twice.

Some cities, counties or school districts in Alabama levy their own income or wage taxes. We check whether a local return applies to you and include it.
