Checking an Alabama CPA

CPAs are licensed by the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy, which has an online license lookup. CPAverify.org works too.

Alabama taxes

  • State income tax from 2% to 5%, and Alabama lets you deduct federal income tax paid on your state return.
  • Local occupational taxes: some cities and counties, such as Birmingham, tax wages earned there.
  • Sales tax: the state rate is 4%, but local taxes are high, so combined rates of 9% or more are common.
  • Business privilege tax: most corporations and LLCs file an annual Alabama business privilege tax return.
