Alabama

Lead generation for financial advisors in Alabama.

Alabama has 955,901 residents aged 65 and over, 18.6% of the state and 24th of 50 states by count. The state taxes retirement income by source, so two clients with the same income can owe very different amounts. Advisors who map that out early are useful from the first meeting.

Alabama exempts Social Security and defined benefit pensions but taxes IRA and other defined contribution withdrawals, with only a $6,000 exclusion per person from age 65 (tax year 2025). Which accounts the income comes from shapes the state bill.

Market knowledge

What Alabama pre-retirees are actually asking about

The questions here are about which income the state touches and what a home costs to keep. Verified against the Alabama Department of Revenue, its administrative rules and its 2025 Schedule RS on 2026-09-24.

Social Security and defined benefit pensions are exempt

Alabama exempts federal Social Security benefits and payments from a defined benefit plan as defined by IRC 414(j), including nonqualified defined benefit plans such as SERPs. Defined contribution plans do not share that treatment, so a pension and an IRA of the same size can land very differently on the state return.

A $6,000 exclusion per person from age 65

For tax year 2025, a taxpayer 65 or older with retirement income taxable to Alabama, such as IRA distributions, can exclude up to $6,000 of it on Schedule RS. Each qualifying spouse gets a separate exclusion, capped at that person's own retirement income taxable to Alabama.

No state portion of property tax over 65

Homeowners over 65 are exempt from the state portion of property tax on their home, claimed as a homestead exemption through the local taxing official. County taxes may still be due, so the exemption does not clear the whole bill. It is worth adding to a move or 65th birthday checklist.

Some online guides quote a larger exclusion for 2026. The Department of Revenue's 2025 Schedule RS shows up to $6,000 per qualifying taxpayer, so confirm the current form before planning around a bigger number. Rolling a defined benefit lump sum into an IRA also changes the treatment: earnings in the new account are taxable.
