Alabama R&D Tax Credits

Even though the federal R&D credit is consistent across the country, states offer a variety of programs for businesses engaging in research and development. While Alabama doesn't have a statute specific to R&D, the Alabama Jobs Act provides incentives to qualified businesses for approved projects that create new jobs in the state, including those conducting space research.

Taxpayers that qualify for the Alabama R&D credit need to plan ahead and receive approval from the Alabama Department of Commerce before they can claim the credit. Learn more about Alabama's Investment Credit here
