The IRS paid me $700 in interest and sent a 1099-INT to me. Is this interest taxable at the state level (Alabama)?

    Yes, this is taxable income in Alabama.

     

    According to the Alabama revenue site:

    All income is subject to Alabama income tax unless specifically exempted by state law. The term “income” includes, but is not limited to:

    • Wages including salaries, fringe benefits, bonuses, commissions, fees, and tips.
    • Dividends.
    • Interest on: bank deposits, bonds, notes, Federal Income Tax Refunds, mortgages on which you receive payments, accounts with savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, credit unions, etc.
    • Original Issue Discount.
    • Distributions from an Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) including SEPs and DECs, if you  excluded these amounts in a prior year.
    • Bartering income (fair market value of goods or services you received in return for your services).
