What is the Alabama state income tax rate?
Alabama has a graduated income tax with three brackets: 2% on the first $500 (single), 4% on income from $500 to $3,000, and 5% on income over $3,000. Married filers have wider brackets.
Does Alabama have a standard deduction?
Yes. Alabama offers a $2,500 standard deduction for single filers and $7,500 for married filing jointly. This is subtracted from your gross income before state tax is calculated.
Are there local occupational taxes in Alabama?
Yes. Some Alabama cities and counties levy occupational taxes that are withheld from your paycheck. These vary by municipality and are separate from the state income tax calculated here. Check with your employer or local government for applicable rates.
Does Alabama tax retirement income?
Alabama does not tax Social Security benefits, and most federal, state, and military retirement pensions are also exempt.
