  • Social security retirement benefits received under Title II of the Social Security Act
  • Benefits received under the Railroad Retirement Act
  • Active duty military pay
  • Pay received for active service as a reservist or a National Guard member

You can find your Arizona adjusted gross income on line 16 of Arizona Form 140.

  • You are not subject to Arizona income tax on your military pay.
  • You must report any other income you earn in Arizona. Use Form 140NR, Nonresident Personal Income Tax Return, to report this income.

No. In this case, the child should not file an Arizona return. The parent must include that same income in his or herArizona taxable income.

Residency Status

If you are not sure if you are an Arizona resident for state income tax purposes, we may be able to help. Thedepartment has issued a procedure on determining residency status. This procedure is ITP 92-1.

Residents

You are a resident of Arizona if your domicile is in Arizona. Domicile is the place where you have your permanent home. It is where you intend to return if you are living or working temporarily in another state or country. If you leave Arizona for a temporary period, you are still an Arizona resident while gone. A resident is subject to tax on all income no matter where the income is earned.

Part-Year Residents

If you are a part-year resident, you must file Form 140PY, Part-Year Resident Personal Income Tax Return.

You are a part-year resident if you did either of the following during 2013.

  • You moved into Arizona with the intent of becoming a resident.
  • You moved out of Arizona with the intent of giving upyour Arizona residency.

Nonresidents

If you are a nonresident, you must file Form 140NR, Nonresident Personal Income Tax Return.

What if a Taxpayer Died?

If a taxpayer died before filing a return for 2013, the taxpayer's spouse or personal representative may have to fileand sign a return for that taxpayer. A personal representativecan be an executor, administrator, or anyone who is in charge of the deceased taxpayer's property.

If the deceased taxpayer did not have to file a return but had tax withheld, a return must be filed to get a refund.

The person who files the return should use the form thetaxpayer would have used. If the department mailed thetaxpayer a booklet, do not use the label. The person whofiles the return should print the word "deceased" after thedecedent's name in the address section of the form. Also enter the date of death after the decedent's name.

If your spouse died in 2013 and you did not remarry in 2013, or if your spouse died in 2014 before filing a return for 2013, you may file a joint return. If your spouse died in 2013, the joint return should show your spouse's 2013 income beforedeath and your income for all of 2013. If your spouse died in 2014, before filing the 2013 return, the joint return should show all of your income and all of your spouse's income for 2013. Print "Filing as surviving spouse" in the area where you sign the return. If someone else is the personal representative, he or she must also sign the return.

Are Any Other Returns Required?

You may also have to file a fiduciary income tax return(Form 141AZ). For details about filing a fiduciary income tax return, call the department at (602) 255-3381.

Claiming a Refund for a Deceased Taxpayer

If you are claiming a refund for a deceased taxpayer, you must complete Form 131, Claim for Refund on Behalf of Deceased Taxpayer. Attach the completed Form 131 to the front of the return.

What are the Filing Dates and Penalties?

When Should You File?

Your 2013 calendar year tax return is due no later than midnight, April 15, 2014. File your return as soon as you can after January 1, but no later than April 15, 2014. If you are a fiscal year filer, your return is due on the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of your fiscal tax year.

What if You Cannot File on Time?

You may request an extension if you know you will not beable to file on time.

NOTE: An extension does not extend the time to pay your incometax. For details, see the instructions for Arizona Form 204.

To get a filing extension, you can either:

  1. Apply for a state extension (Form 204). To apply for a state extension, file Arizona Form 204 by April 15. See Form 204 for details. You do not have to attach a copy of the extension to your return when you file, but make sure that you check box 82F on page 1 of the return. If you must make a payment, use Arizona Form 204, or visit www.aztaxes.gov to make an electronic payment.
  2. Use your federal extension (federal Form 4868). File your Arizona return by the same due date. You do not have to attach a copy of your federal extension to your return, but make sure that you check box 82F on page 1 of the return.

When Should You File if You Are a Nonresident Alien?

The due date for your Arizona return is not the same as the due date for your federal return. Your Arizona return is due by April 15 even though your federal return is due on June 15. If you want to file your Arizona return after April 15, you must ask for a filing extension. You must file this request by April 15. Arizona will allow up to a 6-month extension. This will allow you to file your return by October 15, 2014. See Form 204 for extension filing details.

If you have a federal 6-month extension, you can file your Arizona return under that extension. If you file using your federal extension, Arizona will also allow you an extra 6 months. Because we will allow only 6 months, the due date for your Arizona return is not the same as the due date for your federal return. In this case, your Arizona return will be due by October 15 even though your federal return will not be due until December 15. If you file your 2013 Arizona calendar year return after October 15, 2014, your return will be late.

If you are a fiscal year filer, your return is due on the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of your fiscal year.

What if You File or Pay Late?

If you file or pay late, we will charge you interest and penalties on the amount you owe. If the U.S. Post Office postmarks your 2013 calendar year return by April 15, 2014, your return will not be late. You may also use certain private delivery services designated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to meet the "timely mailing as timely filed" rule.

Late Filing Penalty - If you file late, we will charge you a late filing penalty. This penalty is 4½% (.045) of the tax required to be shown on the return for each month or fraction of a month the return is late. This penalty cannot exceed 25% (.25) of the tax found to be remaining due.

Late Payment Penalty - If you pay your tax late, we will charge you a late payment penalty. This penalty is ½ of 1% (.005) of the amount shown as tax for each month or fraction of a month for which the failure continues.

We charge this penalty from the original due date of the return until the date you pay the tax. This penalty cannot exceed a total of 10% (.10) of the unpaid tax.

Extension Underpayment Penalty - If you file your return under an extension, you must pay 90% (.90) of the tax shown on your return by the return's original due date. If you do not pay this amount, we will charge you a penalty. This penalty is ½ of 1% (.005) of the tax not paid for each 30 day period or fraction of a 30 day period. We charge this penalty from the original due date of the return until the date you pay the tax. This penalty cannot exceed 25% (.25) of the unpaid tax. If we charge you the extension underpayment penalty, we will not charge you the late payment penalty under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 42-1125(D).

NOTE: If you are subject to two or more of the above penalties, the total cannot exceed 25% of the unpaid tax.

Interest

We charge interest on any tax not paid by the due date. We will charge you interest even if you have an extension. If you have an extension, we will charge you interest from the original due date until the date you pay the tax. The Arizona interest rate is the same as the federal rate.

When Should You Amend a Return?

If you need to make changes to your return once you have filed, you should file Form 140X, Individual Amended Income Tax Return. You should file your amended return after your original return has processed. Do not file a new return for the year you are correcting. Generally, you have four years to amend a return to claim a refund.

If you amend your federal return for any year, you must also file an Arizona Form 140X for that year. You must file the Form 140X within 90 days of the final determination of the IRS.

If the IRS makes a change to your federal taxable income for any year, you must report that change to Arizona. You may use one of the following two options to report this change.

Option 1

You may file a Form 140X for that year. If you choose this option, you must amend your Arizona return within 90 days of the final determination of the IRS. Attach a complete copy of the federal notice to your Form 140X.

Option 2

You may file a copy of the final federal notice with the department within 90 days of the final determination of the IRS. If you choose this option, you must include a statement in which you must:

  1. Request that the department recompute your tax; and
  2. Indicate if you agree or disagree with the federal notice. If you do not agree with the federal notice, you must also include any documents that show why you do not agree. If you choose option 2, mail the federal notice and any other documents to:

    Arizona Department of Revenue
    Individual Income Audit
    PO Box 29084
    Phoenix, AZ 85038-9084

Line B10 - Reserved

This line has been reserved for future use. Do not enter any amount on line B10.

Line B11 - Other Additions to Income

Use line B11 if any of the special circumstances below apply.

Attach your own schedule to the back of your return explaining any amounts entered here. You may either add or subtract items B through D below on line B11 or C29, respectively, depending on your situation.

A. Pensions (First Payment Received Prior to 1979)

Prior to 1979, Arizona treated pension income differently than the IRS. For federal purposes, you could have excluded a portion of the cost of the pension from the pension payment included on your federal return. For Arizona purposes, the payments were excluded from Arizona gross income until you recovered the cost. After recovering the cost, you must include the rest of the payments in Arizona gross income.

If you received the first payment prior to December 31, 1978, you may have to make an addition to income. Complete the following worksheet to figure your addition. The addition is equal to the total payments received during the taxable year that are more than the cost.

Complete the worksheet only if both of the following apply.

  1. Arizona taxed your pension for years before 1979.
  2. You reported that pension on your federal return usingthe percentage exclusion method.

Do not complete the worksheet if either of the following applies.

  1. You reported your pension income as fully taxable onyour federal return.
  2. You reported your pension income on your federal return under the "three-year-rule".

Pension Adjustment Worksheet - Line B11

Pension Adjustment Worksheet - Line B11
Follow these steps to figure the adjustment. (Keep this worksheet for your records.)
1. Your contribution to annuity. 1.
2. Pension amount received in prior years. 2.
3. Remainder of cost (line 1 minus line 2 but not less than zero). 3.
4. Pension amount received this year. 4.
5. Subtract line 3 from line 4 (but notless than zero). 5.
6. Enter the pension amount taxable on your federal return. 6.
7. Subtract line 6 from line 5. 7.
If line 7 is more than zero, enter the amount on line 7 as an addition to income. Enter the addition on line B11.

B. Married Persons Filing Separate Returns

If you file a separate Arizona return, you must report the following income on that return.

  • One-half of the community income from all sources.
  • All of your separate income.

If you and your spouse file a joint federal return but separate Arizona returns, you must make sure that each separate return reflects the correct income. If you begin your Arizona return with only the income that you earned during the year, you will have to adjust this income.

If you file separate federal returns, each of your federal returns should already reflect the correct income. Since your separate Arizona returns will begin with the federal adjusted gross income, you will not have to adjust your income.

If you have to adjust your income, attach a schedule showing how you figured your adjustment.

C. Partnership Income

Use this adjustment if your Arizona Form 165, Schedule K-1,

shows a difference between federal and state distributable income. If the difference reported on your Arizona Form 165, Schedule K-1, is a positive number, enter that difference as an addition. Enter the addition on line B11.

If the difference reported on your Arizona Form 165, Schedule K-1, is a negative number, enter that difference as a subtraction. Enter the subtraction on line C29.

D. Fiduciary Adjustment

A fiduciary uses Form 141AZ, Schedule K-1, to report to you your share of the fiduciary adjustment from the trust or estate. Line 3 of Form 141AZ, Schedule K-1, shows your share of the fiduciary adjustment from the estate or trust. If the amount reported on line 3 of your Arizona Form 141AZ, Schedule K-1, is a positive number, enter that amount as an addition. Enter the addition on line B11.

If the amount reported on line 3 of your Arizona Form 141AZ, Schedule K-1, is a negative number, enter that amount as a subtraction. Enter the subtraction on line C29.

E. Net Operating Losses

Arizona does not have specific provisions for calculating the net operating loss of an individual. Generally, the amount of net operating loss deduction included in your federal adjusted gross income is the amount allowable for Arizona purposes. However, there are instances when the amount allowable for Arizona purposes may be different.

You must adjust the amount of net operating loss deduction included in your federal adjusted gross income if you have already deducted any amount of the net operating loss included in your federal adjusted gross income for Arizona purposes. In this case, enter on line B11, the amount of net operating loss included in your federal adjusted gross income which you previously deducted for Arizona purposes.

Usually, Arizona conforms to the federal net operating loss provisions, including the carryback provisions. However, Arizona did not conform to the special federal net operating loss rules for 2008 and 2009. Under the special rules for 2008 and 2009, you could have elected to carry the net operating loss back for 3, 4 or 5 years, instead of the normal 2 years. This election would have been allowed under IRC § 172(b)(1)(H) as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009. If you deducted a federal net operating loss carryback under the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or the federal Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, see the instructions for line C28.

For information on deducting a net operating loss carryback in cases where you did not make an election under IRC § 172(b)(1)(H), see the department's Income Tax Procedure ITP 99-1 .

F. Items Previously Deducted for Arizona Purposes

Arizona statutes prohibit a taxpayer from deducting items more than once. However, under the operation of former Arizona law (1989 and prior), you could deduct certain items in greater amounts for Arizona purposes than for federal purposes.

Investment interest and passive activity losses were such items. In some cases, you could have deducted such amounts in their entirety on the Arizona return. For federal purposes, the deduction for these items was limited, with the unused portions being carried forward and deducted in future years. Your Arizona return may include these previously deducted items because of the difference between the federal and former Arizona treatment. If your Arizona taxable income includes items previously deducted for Arizona purposes, you must add such amounts to your Arizona gross income.

G. Claim of Right Adjustment for Amounts Repaidin 2013

You must make an entry here if all of the following apply.

  1. During 2013, you were required to repay amounts heldunder a claim of right.

  4. A rollover or change of designated beneficiary.

Q. Original Issue Discount (OID) on Reacquisition of Debt Instrument

For federal purposes, when a taxpayer made the special election to defer discharge of indebtedness (DOI) income under IRC § 108(i) (for 2009 or 2010), the taxpayer was not allowed to takea deduction with respect to the portion of any OID that accrued with respect to that DOI income, during the income deferralperiod. In this case, the taxpayer had to deduct the aggregate amount of the OID deductions disallowed ratably over a 5 year period, beginning with the period in which the income was includible in federal adjusted gross income.

Arizona did not adopt the federal provisions requiring a taxpayer to defer the OID deduction in cases where the taxpayer federally deferred the DOI income. For Arizona purposes, you had to report the DOI income from a debtreacquisition in the year in which you reacquired the debt, and you were allowed to subtract any OID related to that DOI income in the year the OID accrued. If your federal adjustedgross income includes a deduction for any accrued OID that you have already subtracted for Arizona purposes, you must make an addition to Arizona income for the amount of deferred OID deducted on your federal return. Generally, thisaddition will not apply until taxable year 2014 through 2018. However, if you were required to accelerate reporting of the DOI income for federal purposes and were allowed to deduct accrued OID attributable to that income on a return filed for a year prior to 2014; this addition may apply to an earlier year. On line B11, enter the amount of any previously deferred OIDthat you deducted in computing your 2013 federal adjusted gross income, to the extent that the amount was previously subtracted from Arizona gross income.

If you are the first recipient of such distributions, enter the amount of the distributions that youhad to include in your federal adjusted gross income.

You may also subtract items of income that are attributable to, derived from or related to assets that were stolen or hidden from or lost to you if you were persecuted by Nazi Germany or anyother Axis regime for racial, religious or political reasonsbefore, during or immediately after World War II. If you are the first recipient of such income, enter the amount of income thatyou had to include in your federal adjusted gross income.

K. Installment Sale Income From Another State Taxed by the Other State in a Prior Taxable Year

You may subtract income from an installment sale if both of the following apply:

  1. The income from the sale is subject to Arizona income taxin 2013; and
  2. . You paid income tax to another state on that income in a prior tax year.

Enter the amount of such income that you included in your Arizona gross income for 2013.

Do not enter any amount that is subject to tax by both Arizona and another state in 2013. In this case, you may be eligible for a tax credit. See AZ Form 309 for details.

L. Agricultural Crops Given to Arizona Charities

Arizona law allows a subtraction for qualified crop gifts madeduring 2013 to one or more charitable organizations. To takethis subtraction, all of the following must apply.

  1. You must be engaged in the business of farming orprocessing agricultural crops.
  2. The crop must be grown in Arizona.
  3. You made your gift to a charitable organization located in Arizona that is exempt from Arizona income tax.

The subtraction is the larger of the wholesale market price or the most recent sale price for the contributed crop. The amount of the subtraction cannot include any amount deducted pursuant to IRC § 170 with respect to crop contribution that exceeds the cost of producing the contributed crop. To determine if your crop gift qualifies for this subtraction, see the department's Income Tax Procedure ITP 12-1.

M. Basis Adjustment for Property Sold or Otherwise Disposed of During the Taxable Year

With respect to property that is sold or otherwise disposed of during the taxable year by a taxpayer who has complied with the requirement to add back all depreciation with respect to that property on tax returns for all taxable years beginning from and after December 31, 1999, enter the amount of depreciation that has been allowed pursuant to IRC § 167(a) to the extent that the amount has not already reduced Arizona taxable income in the current or prior years. (Note: The practical effect of this is to allow a subtraction for the difference in basis for any asset for which bonus depreciation has been claimed on the federal return.)

N. Contributions to 529 College Savings Plans

You may subtract amounts you contribute to 529 college savings plans during the taxable year. You may subtract the amount you contributed during the year up to a total of $2,000 ($4,000 for a married couple filing a joint return). If you are married filing separate returns, either you or your spouse may take the subtraction, or you may divide it between you, but the total subtraction taken by both of you cannot be more than $4,000.

If you contribute more than $2,000 ($4,000 if married) during the year, your total subtraction is still limited to $2,000 ($4,000 if married). For example, Jorge and Kate are married and have two children. During 2013, Jorge and Kate contributed $2,500 to a 529 plan for Child 1 and $2,500 to a 529 plan for Child 2. Even though Jorge and Kate contributed a total of $5,000 during 2013, they may subtract only $4,000 on their 2013 return.

You may take a subtraction for a contribution that you made during 2013, to a plan that existed before 2013. You may take a subtraction for a contribution that you made during 2013, to a plan established in another state. You may take a subtraction for a contribution that you made in 2013, to any 529 college savings plan. This could be a plan established for a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, or any other person for whom a plan has been established.

You cannot take a subtraction for an amount transferred from one college savings plan to a different college savings plan (a rollover).

O. Previously Deferred Discharge of Indebtedness (DOI) Income Adjustment

Generally, when a loan is settled for less than the amount owed, DOI income is realized by the debtor and usually must be included in the debtor's gross income. The amount of DOI income is generally equal to the amount of loan forgiveness. DOI income also occurs when a debtor repurchases his or her own debt at a discount (a price lower than the adjusted basis issue price of the debt instrument). In debt repurchase transactions, the amount of DOI income is generally equal to the difference between the adjusted issue price and the price paid for the debt instrument.

For federal purposes, a taxpayer may have made a special election for taxable years 2009 or 2010 to include DOI income in connection with the reacquisition of a business debt instrument, ratably over a 5 year period. A taxpayer that made this election will generally include this income in federal adjusted gross income beginning with the 2014 taxable year. A taxpayer would have made the federal election under IRC § 108(i) as added by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Arizona did not adopt the special federal DOI income deferral provisions for the 2009 or 2010 taxable year. For Arizona purposes, if you made the federal election to defer the inclusion of DOI income under IRC § 108(i), you were required to add the amount of deferred DOI income to Arizona income for the year for which you made the election. If you made the required addition to Arizona income on the Arizona return filed for the year in which you reacquired the debt instrument (2009 or 2010), Arizona will not tax that DOI income twice. In the year in which you include that deferred DOI income in your federal adjusted gross income, you may take a subtraction for the amount included for that year. Usually this subtraction will apply to taxable years 2014 through 2018. However, if you had to accelerate the deferral for federal purposes, this subtraction may apply to a taxable year prior to 2014. On line C29, enter the amount of previously deferred DOI income that you included in your federal adjusted gross income for the current taxable year to the extent that the amount was previously added to your Arizona income.

P. Original Issue Discount (OID) on Reacquisition of Business Debt Instrument

For federal purposes, when a taxpayer made the special election to defer DOI income under IRC § 108(i), the taxpayer was not allowed to take a deduction with respect to the portion of any OID that accrued with respect to that DOI income, during the income deferral period. In this case, the taxpayer must deduct the aggregate amount of the OID deductions disallowed ratably over a 5 year period, beginning with the period in which the income is includible in federal adjusted gross income.

Arizona did not adopt the federal provisions requiring a taxpayer to defer the OID deduction in cases where the taxpayer federally deferred the DOI income under IRC § 108(i). For Arizona purposes, you were required to add the amount of deferred DOI income to Arizona income on the return filed for the year in which you reacquired the debt instrument. Since Arizona taxed the federally deferred DOI income for 2009 or 2010 on your 2009 or 2010 Arizona return, you may subtract the amount of OID that accrued during the taxable year with respect to that DOI income. On line C29, enter the amount of any OID that was deferred and not allowed to be deducted in computing your federal adjusted gross income for 2013 under IRC § 108(i).

Q. Sole Proprietorship Income of an Arizona Nonprofit Medical Marijuana Dispensary included in Federal Adjusted Gross Income

If you are registered as an Arizona sole proprietorship withthe Arizona Department of Health Services to operate in this state as a nonprofit medical marijuana dispensary, you may subtract the amount of the income from the dispensary thatis included in the computation of your federal adjusted gross income. Include the amount of the income on line C29.

NOTE: If the Arizona nonprofit medical marijuanadispensary is registered with the Arizona Department of Health Services as anything other than a sole proprietorship, this subtraction does not apply.

R. Long-Term Care Insurance Premiums

Beginning 2013, you may subtract the amount of premium costs for long-term care insurance for qualified long-term care services. Qualified long-term care services are necessary diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, curing, treating, mitigating, rehabilitative services, and maintenance and personal care services

You may take this subtraction only if you are not claiming itemized deductions for the taxable year. Include the allowable subtraction on line C29.

An individual, who claims itemized deductions, may not take this subtraction.

S. Long-Term Health Care Savings Accounts

Beginning 2013, you may subtract amounts you paid into a long-term health care savings account established under Arizona law. An individual may establish a long-term health care savings account with an account Administrator who will manage the account. For more information regarding the subtraction for contributions made to a longterm health care savings account, see A.R.S. § 43-1032.

The total amount you may subtract is equal to the amount of your contributions that are included in your federal adjusted gross income. Include the amount of the allowable subtraction on line C29.

Do not include on line C29 any amounts already excluded in the computation of your federal adjusted gross income.

T. Other Adjustments

Other special adjustments may be necessary. Call one of the numbers listed on the back cover if any of the following apply.

  • You are a qualified defense contractor that elected to amortize under A.R.S. § 43-1024.
  • You sold or disposed of property that was held for the production of income and your basis was computed under the Arizona Income Tax Act of 1954.

Put enough postage on the envelope. The U.S. Post Office must postmark your return or extension request by midnight April 15, 2014. A postage meter postmark will not qualify as a timely postmark. Only a postmark from the U.S. Post Office will qualify. You may also use certain private delivery services designated by the IRS to meet the "timely mailing as timely filed" rule.

How Long To Keep Your Return

You must keep your records as long as they may be needed for the administration of any provision of Arizona tax law. Generally, this means you must keep records that support items shown on your return until the period of limitations for that return runs out.

The period of limitations is the period of time in which you can amend your return to claim a credit or refund or the department can assess additional tax. A period of limitations is the limited time after which no legal action can be brought. Usually, this is four years from the date the return was due or filed.

In some cases, the limitation period is longer than four years. The period is six years from when you file a return if you underreport the income shown on that return by more than 25%. The department can bring an action at any time if a return is false or fraudulent, or you do not file a return. To find out more about what records you should keep, get federal Publication 552.

Where's My Refund?

If you e-filed, you can expect your refund within 2 weeks of the date you e-filed. If you filed a paper return, you can expect your refund within 12 weeks of the date you filed. You can check on your refund by visiting www.azdor.gov and clicking on "Where's my refund?" If you have not received your refund within the noted time frames, you may call one of the numbers listed on page 1 of these instructions. Before you call, be sure to have a copy of your 2013 tax return on hand. You will need to know your SSN, your filing status and your 5-digit zip code.

Contacting the Department

Your tax information on file with the department is confidential. If you want the department to discuss your tax matters with someone other than yourself, you must authorize the department to release confidential information to that person. You may use Form 285 to authorize the department to release confidential information to your appointee. See Form 285 for details.
