Low-income families of four in Alabama owe one of the nation's highest state income tax bills on poverty-line earnings. They also will begin to owe state income tax at one of the lowest incomes in the country.
Alabama had the nation's highest income tax for a two-parent family of four at the poverty line in 2007, and the amount they owe in 2008 is even higher.
