Alabama Senate passes bill to prevent taxing Alabamians for COVID benefits

[TexasTowelie]

The Alabama Senate on Thursday passed legislation that would prevent ​​levying an additional $87.7 million in state income taxes on Alabamians for benefitting from expanded tax credits included in federal COVID relief.

State law doesn’t exclude COVID-related federal tax benefits from income that the state can tax. SB152, sponsored by Senator Dan Roberts, R-Mountain Brook, would ensure Alabamians would not have to pay additional taxes on credits they received in 2021.

“This benefits Alabamians across the board,” Roberts said on the Senate floor Thursday.

The $87.7 million belongs to the people of Alabama, and not the state government, Roberts said in a statement Thursday.

1. Where were you when my unemployment was ended early

on June 19th, instead of at the end of August?

I don't recall any 'tax credits' that helped me in 2021, but I bet a bunch of rich fucks got theirs.
