Beginning January 21, 2020, the Apprenticeship Tax Credit must be pre-certified via an online portal through My Alabama Taxes (MAT) before the taxpayer can claim the credit on the Alabama income tax return.
NOTE: Pass-through entities with numerous partners can select “Download Owner Information Spreadsheet,” enter the owner’s information and percentage of ownership, and save the file. Once saved, use the “Import” tab to load the table in the credit claim. You can save the file for future claims and modify the spreadsheet as needed (i.e., adding/deleting owners, change ownership percentage).
Once the Department approves the credit claim request, the taxpayer submitting the claim will receive a web notice confirming the credit.
For corporate income and financial institution excise taxpayers, the credit must be listed on the taxpayer’s income tax return at the time the return is filed.
For pass through entities, the credit will flow through to the owners based on their pro-rata ownership. If the pass-through entity is allocating the credit to an individual taxpayer, the pass-through entity must notify the individual of the amount of credit allocated to them. If the credit will flow to an owner that is a pass-through entity, that entity will receive a letter from ADOR with instructions on how to pre-certify the credit through MAT.
