Thanks for jumping in, because I couldn't understand why I wasn't finding anything about the current year federal self-employment tax.

 

Yes, I found the reference to Line 6 on Schedule A, but the instructions state:

 

 

That is, you can deduct the SE tax paid in 2023 for a 2022 return (or earlier). In the Alabama interview there is a specific question about this.

 

However, it appears to me that the OP is asking about the transfer of 2023's SE tax to the Alabama return, which is not what the instructions refer to. It seems to me that 2023 SE tax is not deductible in Alabama.

 

I would appreciate any insight that you might have in your home state.
