Crypto capital-gains tax in Alabama

Alabama's brackets are tiny — the 5% top rate starts at just $3,000 of taxable income for single filers ($6,000 joint), so nearly everyone pays close to 5% at the margin. Alabama uniquely lets filers deduct federal income tax paid from state taxable income (not modeled here), which lowers real-world effective rates, and cities such as Birmingham levy roughly 1% occupational taxes that are also excluded.

Common questions

How is crypto taxed in Alabama?
At the federal level, crypto is property and gains are taxed as short- or long-term capital gains. At the state level, Alabama taxes crypto capital gains as ordinary income — the same rate as your wages, with no long-term discount.
Does Alabama have a lower rate for long-term crypto gains?
No — unlike the federal system, Alabama does not give long-term gains a preferential state rate; they're taxed the same as short-term gains.
