In Alabama, the portion of your registration that is Ad Valorem Tax is deductible.   You can deduct it if you itemize.   It is entered on the federal return and TurboTax will transfer it to your state return.   

 

  • With your return open, search for car registration inside your program.
  • Select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
  • Answer Yes to Did you pay any car registration fees in 2023? and then enter them on the next screen.

Your car registration fee is deductible if it’s a yearly fee based on the value of your vehicle, and you itemize your deductions.  You can’t deduct the total amount you paid, only the portion of the fee that’s based on your vehicle’s value.   Not all states have value-based registration fees.
