Alabama considers income from Defined Benefit Retirement Plans to be excludable from tax, but you have to manually indicate that the plan qualifies to be excluded.

 

Here is a list of Alabama income that is exempt from state taxes.  If you are retired then that portion of your income could be exempt.

 

Follow steps below:

  1. Go back into your state return.
  2. Edit
  3. Then scroll through pages until you see the page in Exhibit 1 Below
  4. Click on Edit

 

Exhibit 1

 

The Special Handling screen will appear then just follow the prompts.
