To claim the Port Credit on the Alabama income tax return, an online pre-certification via My Alabama Taxes (MAT) is not required. The credit is claimed directly on the return at the time of filing. A copy of the Port Credit Certification issued by the Alabama Department of Commerce must be attached with the income tax return.
