HB 341 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Income tax, to exempt certain income earned by members of the Alabama National Guard

HB 341 exempts the first $5,000 of drill pay earned by Alabama National Guard members from state income tax. This directly affects part-time service members who receive compensation for training exercises (drill pay) but not active-duty military pay. The bill amends Alabama's tax code by adding a new exemption under Section 40-18-19 for this specific income, aligning with existing exemptions for other public safety personnel. It also includes minor technical updates to the tax code language for clarity, without changing other tax provisions.
