Yes, the mortgage interest expense from the Florida home can be claimed as an itemized deduction. But, this is reported on the federal return and will automatically carry to the Alabama return.

 

See page 20 column 1 of the 2019 Form 40 Alabama Individual Income Tax Book for more information:

"The interest you paid that can be claimed as an itemized deduction is limited in most cases to the same amount as currently allowable for federal purposes....If you qualified for the Mortgage Interest Credit on your Federal return, the total interest you paid before the credit is deductible for Alabama purposes."
