Thanks for sending along the Alabama instructions. You are correct, the 2023 SE tax does not appear to be deductible. I have gone back to look at my state tax returns (prepared with TurboTax) for every year dating back to 2015. Without exception, TurboTax has made the SE transfer for that year from the federal to the Alabama return (Schedule A, line 6). Thank you for your assistance with this question. I will attempt to get some kind of official response from the Ala Dept of Revenue for clarification.
