Income tax rule
Alabama uses 2% to 5% progressive income tax rates in the current TaxGuide Pro calculator data.

Deductions and exemptions
This is a federal deduction estimate, not an Alabama tax calculation.
Credits to review
Review dependent, household, income-based, and other Alabama credits in the state credit finder, then confirm eligibility in official instructions.
Filing deadline
For a 2026 return filed in 2027, confirm the due date in published Alabama instructions. State deadlines and disaster relief can differ from federal dates.
Refund processing
Alabama does not guarantee one refund date for every return. E-filed, accurate returns with direct deposit are generally processed faster than paper or reviewed returns.
