Alabama seniors could see major tax relief starting in 2026 under a new federal law that exempts most Social Security income from federal taxes. The One Big Beautiful Bill boosts

The One Big Beautiful Bill targets middle-income seniors in a state where rising property taxes and insurance costs challenge retirees.

If your income exceeds $150,000 for a single adult or $250,000 for a married couple, you won't qualify for the $6,000 senior deduction. However, you're still eligible to claim your standard deduction and the $2,000 senior deduction that was already in place before the BBB passed.
