Tax credit
Alabama tax credit: Alabama has an income tax credit for a qualified storm shelter at your main home. It is up to $3,000 or 50% of the cost, whichever is less. The Alabama EMA says shelters must be installed on or after January 1, 2026, meet FEMA P-320 (2021), FEMA P-361 (2021) and ICC 500 (2020), and you must apply in the same calendar year it was installed. The state total is capped each year. Check the official Alabama EMA page before you count on it.
