Who it is for
Alabamians 65 and older, and the sons and daughters who help a parent with the paperwork. Neighbors argue about property tax, Social Security and insurance in every comment section. This guide settles those questions with the documents themselves.
What is inside
- Start here: the breaks you may be able to claim, one card each, with what it is worth, who qualifies and where to apply.
- Property tax after 65: the four homestead codes in plain English, three worked bills, and a table of all 67 counties.
- Income tax: what Alabama leaves alone and what it taxes, with the $6,000 break at 65 and a fill-in worksheet.
- Money you may be leaving on the table: help paying your Medicare premium, free Medicare counseling, and more.
- Sales and grocery tax in 55 towns, and what is tax-free for seniors.
- Insurance and storms, and the state grant of up to $10,000 for a storm-resistant roof, step by step.
- A phone numbers page to keep by the phone, and a month-by-month money calendar.
