Single filer, age 35, with no dependents, no blindness allowance and no one else able to claim the worker as a dependent.
The worker lives in Alabama all year and performs all relevant work there. No other state's tax is included.
No other income, adjustments, credits or itemized deductions apply. Employee 401(k), payroll HSA, health insurance and employer HSA contributions are all zero.
Ordinary wages come from one employer and are covered by Social Security and Medicare. No special tips or overtime deductions apply.
State payroll programs are excluded from this example.
City taxes, other payroll deductions, business taxes, fees and licensing charges are excluded. A zero selected-state personal income-tax amount does not establish zero total state or local tax.

What can make the full Alabama result unavailable?

The bounded wage estimate needs Single status, age 18–64, all required wage/household answers and zero benefit contributions. Alabama also needs a separate confirmation that no federal income-tax credits apply. Unsupported income, household facts or amounts keep state tax unavailable. Other income may still have a federal result.
