DEFINITIONS

GROSS INCOME
Gross income is any and all income (before deductions) other than income specifically described as exempt from tax on pages 11 and 12 “Exempt From Income Tax”.
Exception: The $6,000 exemption on retirement income and the exemption on military income as described on page 12 are included in gross income.
DOMICILE This is the place you intend to have as your permanent home and the place you intend to return to whenever you are away. You can have only one domicile. Your domicile does not change until you move to a new location which you intend to make your permanent home. If you move to a new location but intend to stay there only for a limited time (no matter how long), your domicile does not change. This also applies if you are working in a foreign country.
FULL YEAR RESIDENT You are a full year resident if you lived in Arkansas all of calendar year 2015, or if you have maintained a domicile or Home of Record in Arkansas during the tax year.
NONRESIDENT
You are a nonresident if you did not make your domicile in Arkansas.
PART YEAR RESIDENT
You are a part year resident if you established a domicile in Arkansas or moved out of the state during calendar year 2015.
MILITARY PERSONNEL
If Arkansas is your Home of Record (HOR) and you are stationed outside the State of Arkansas, you are still required to file an AR1000F reporting all of your income, including U.S. Military Compensation. However, military compensation is exempt from Arkansas tax begin- ning in tax year 2014. (If you are stationed in Arkansas and your Home of Record is another state, Arkansas does not tax your U.S. Military Compensation.)
U.S. Military compensation includes wages received by members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserve Units.
DEPENDENTS
You may claim as a dependent any person who received over half of his or her support from you, earned less than $4,000 in gross income, and was your:
Child Stepchild Mother Father Grandparent Brother Sister Grandchild Stepbrother Stepsister Stepmother Stepfather Mother-In-Law — Father-In-Law Brother-In-Law — Sister-In-Law Son-In-Law Daughter-In-Law
Or, an individual (other than your spouse) who, for the tax year of the taxpayer, had the same principal place of abode as the taxpayer and was a member of the taxpayer’s household. Or, if related by blood: Uncle, Aunt, Nephew, Niece. The term “dependent” includes a foster child if the child had as his principal place of abode the home of the taxpayer and was a member of the taxpayer’s household for the taxpayer’s entire tax year.
The term “dependent” does not apply to anyone who is a citizen or subject of a foreign country UNLESS that person is a resident of Mexico or Canada.
If your child/stepchild was under age 19 at the end of the year, the $4,000 gross income limitation does not apply. Your child/ stepchild may have earned any amount of income and still be your dependent if the other dependency requirements in this section were met.
If your child/stepchild was a student under age 24 at the end of the calendar year, the $4,000 gross income limitation does not apply. The other requirements in this section must be met.
To qualify as a student, your child/stepchild must have been a full-time student for five (5) months during the calendar year at a qualified school, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
If your dependent died during the tax year, you may claim the full amount of tax credit for the dependent on your tax return regard- less of when the death occurred during the year.
Arkansas has adopted Internal Revenue Code §151(c)(6) regarding the tax treatment of kidnapped children.

Exception: The $6,000 exemption on retirement income and the exemption on mili- tary income as described on page 12 are included in gross income.
If your gross income was less than the amount shown in the last column for your filing status, you are not required to file a return. However, you must file a return to claim any refund due.
NONRESIDENTS (Use Form AR1000NR)
Nonresidents who received any taxable income from Arkansas sources must file a return (regardless of marital status, filing status, or amount).
PART YEAR RESIDENTS (Use Form AR1000NR)
Part year residents who received any taxable income while an Arkansas resident must file a return (regardless of marital status, filing status, or amount).
WHEN TO FILE
You can file your calendar year original tax return any time after December 31, 2015, but NO LATER THAN April 15, 2016, (unless an extension has been granted).
If you file a fiscal year tax return, your return is due NO LATER THAN three and one-half (3 *2) months following the close of the income year.
NOTE: The date of the postmark stamped by the U.S. Postal Ser- vice is the date you filed your return.
If the due date of your return falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the return will be con- sidered timely filed if it is postmarked on the next business day.
Statute of Limitations - Refunds. An amended return or claim for refund of an overpayment must be filed by the taxpayer within three (3) years from the time the return was filed or two (2) years from the time the tax was paid, whichever is later.
IF YOU NEED MORE TIME
If you request an extension of time to file your federal income tax return (by filing federal Form 4868 with the IRS) you are entitled to receive the same extension on your Arkansas income tax return. The federal automatic extension extends the deadline to file until October 15".
The Department no longer requires that a copy of federal Form 4868 be attached to your state tax return. When your Arkansas return is complete and ready to file, simply check the box on the face of the return indicating you filed a federal extension.
If you do not file a federal extension, you can file an Arkansas extension using Form AR1055 before the filing due date of April 15". Inability to pay is not a valid reason to request an Arkansas extension. Send your request to:
Individual Income Tax Section ATTN: Extension
P.O. Box 3628
Little Rock, AR 72203-3628
AND DO NOT STATE THE COMPLETE LAW
NOTE: The maximum extension that will be granted to an individual on an AR1055 is one hundred and eighty (180) days,
extending the due date until October 15".
When you file your return, check the box indicating you filed a state extension. If the box on the front of your return is not checked, you will not receive credit for your federal or state extension.
An extension extends the amount of time to file your return, but does not extend the amount of time to pay. Any tax due must be paid by April 15, 2016 to avoid failure to pay penalty and interest.
Payments made on extension should be made on Form AR1000ES, Voucher 5.
See Page 17 for information on penalties and interest.
EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX NOTE: List exempt income on AR4, Part III and include the total on AR1000F/AR1000NR, Line 51. (You do not need to list exclusion amounts from numbers 10-12.)
1. Money you received from a life insur- ance policy because of the death of the person who was insured is exempt from tax.
NOTE: You must include as taxable income any
interest payments made to you from the
insurer (the insurance company that is- sued the policy).
2. Money you received from life insur- ance, an endowment, or a private an- nuity contract for which you paid the premiums is allowed cost recovery pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §72.
3. Amounts you received as child sup- port payments are exempt from tax.
4. Gifts, inheritances, bequests, or de- vises are exempt from tax.
5. Scholarships, fellowships, and grants are taxed pursuant to Internal Rev- enue Code §117. (Stipends are taxed in their entirety.) For additional informa- tion on scholarships, fellowships, and grants see instructions for Line 20 on Page 15.
6. Interest you received from direct United States obligations, its posses- sions, the State of Arkansas, or any political subdivision of the State of Arkansas is exempt from tax. Obliga- tions include bonds and other evidence of debt issued pursuant to a government unit's borrowing power. (Interest received on tax refunds is not exempt income, because it did
Page 11
not result from a debt issued by the United States, the State of Arkansas, or any political subdivision of the State of Arkansas.) Interest from government securities paid to individuals through a mutual fund is exempt from tax.
7. Social Security benefits, VA benefits, Workers’ Compensation, Unemploy- ment Compensation, Railroad Retire- ment benefits and related supple- mental benefits are exempt from tax.
8. The rental value of a home or the housing allowance paid to a duly ordained or licensed minister of a recognized church is exempt to the extent that it was used to rent or provide a home. The rental value of a home furnished to a minister includes utilities furnished to the minister as part of compensa- tion. The housing allowance paid to a minister includes an allowance for utilities paid to the minister as part of compensation to the extent it was used to furnish utilities in the home.
9. Disability income MAY BE exempt from tax pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §104.
10. Beginning with tax year 2014, U.S. Military Compensation is exempt from tax. To claim the exemption, you must file a return and report all of the income you received during the year.
11. If you received income from an em- ployer sponsored retirement plan, including disability retirement, that is not exempt under IRC §104, the first $6,000 is exempt from tax. For tax years 2003 and later, if you contrib- uted after-tax dollars to your plan, you are allowed to recover your cost (investment) in your retirement plan in accordance with Internal Revenue Code §72. Then the first $6,000 of the balance is exempt from tax. (If you received income from military retirement, you may adjust your figures if the payment included Survivor’s Benefit Payments. The amount of adjustment must be listed on the income statement, and supporting documen- tation must be submitted with the return.)
12. If you received a traditional IRA dis- tribution after reaching age fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2), the first $6,000 is exempt from tax. Your traditional IRA distribution may be adjusted for nondeduct- ible IRA contributions, if any, by completing Federal Form 8606 and attaching it to your Arkansas return. Premature distributions made on account of the participant's death or disability also qualify for the exemption. All other premature distributions or early withdrawals including, but not limited to, those taken for medical expenses, higher education expenses or a first- time home purchase do not qualify for the exemption.
A surviving spouse qualifies for the exemption;
however he/she is limited to a single $6,000 ex- emption.
Page 12
NOTE: Total exemptions from all plans described under 11 and 12 cannot exceed $6,000 per taxpayer, not
including recovery of cost.

Check this box if you were MARRIED and are filing jointly. IF YOU ARE FILING A JOINT RETURN, YOU MUST ADD BOTH SPOUSES’ INCOME TOGETHER. Enter the total amount in column Aon Lines 8 through 20 under “Your/Joint Income”.
MARRIED COUPLES—CHOOSING THE BEST FILING STATUS
If you and your spouse had separate incomes, you might save money by figuring your tax separately using one of the following two methods. Use the method that suits you best.
METHOD A. List your income separately under Column A (“Your Income”). List your spouse’s income separately under Column B (“Spouse’s Income”). Figure your tax separately and then add your taxes together. See instructions for Married Filing Sepa- rately on the Same Return, Box 4.
If you use Method A, your result will be either a COM- BINED REFUND or a COMBINED TAX DUE. METHOD B. _ File separate individual tax returns. See instructions for Married Filing Separately on Different Returns, Box 5.
If you use Method B, one of you may owe tax and the other may get a refund. The tax due must be paid with the proper tax return and the refund will be due on the other return. YOU MAY NOT OFFSET ONE AGAINST THE OTHER.
BOX 3. Filing Status 3 (Head of House- hold)
To file as Head of Household you must have been unmarried or legally separated on December 31, 2015 and meet either 1 or 2 below. The term “Unmarried” includes certain married persons who lived apart, as discussed at the end of this section.

AR1000ADJ INSTRUCTIONS
LINE 1. To claim the Texarkana exemption, you must file a return and report all Arkansas income you received during the year. Attach AR-TX Form. (AR-TX Form is supplied by your employer.)
The AR-TX Form is not required for non wage income such as interest, dividends, Schedule C (sole proprietor), Schedule F (farm), Schedule E (rents, royalties, partnerships, etc.) or retire- ment. Additional information may be required for verification if an adjustment for these types of income is allowed.
NOTE: Taxpayers who claim this exemption must file using their street address in Texarkana, Arkansas or Texarkana, Texas. If you use a Post Office Box, this exemption will not be allowed.
If you lived within the city limits of Texarkana, Arkansas, you are allowed a full exemption from Arkansas income tax. Part year Texarkana residents claim the exemption only on income earned while a resident of Texarkana, Arkansas.
If you lived in the city limits of Texarkana, Texas, you may deduct the income you earned in the city limits of Texarkana, Arkansas. All other Arkansas income is taxable to you.
LINE 2. If you made contributions to a tuition savings account established under the Arkansas Tax Deferred Tuition Savings Program enter the amount here. Contributions to plans es- tablished in states other than Arkansas are not deductible. The deductible contribution cannot exceed $5,000 per taxpayer per tax year. Quali- fied withdrawals from a tuition savings account established under the Arkansas Tax Deferred Tuition Savings Program or a tax-deferred tuition savings program established by another state will be exempt from Arkansas income tax with respect to the designated beneficiary's income.
LINE 3. This line is used to report your allow- able contribution to an Individual Retirement Ac- count (IRA). If you contributed to your own IRA, certain limitations may apply to the amount you may use as an adjustment to income. If neither you nor your spouse was covered by an employer provided retirement plan, the entire contribution is deductible up to $5,500 each for all filing statuses. If either you or your spouse was covered by such a plan, the amount of the deduction depends on the amount of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) before the IRA deduction, as shown in the table on page 20 of the booklet. Use this table along with your Arkansas AGI to determine your allowable deduction. Catch up Contributions - Individuals who turned 50 before the close of the tax year may increase the maximum permitted annual contribution by up to $1,000.
AR1000AD4J (R 10/21/15)

LINE 4. This line is used to report your allowable contribution to an Archer Medical Savings account (MSA). An MSAis a trust or custodial account that is created or organized exclusively for the purpose of paying the qualified medical expenses of the tax- payer (account holder) and the taxpayer's spouse and/or dependents.

A HDHP will have the following deductions and limitations: (1) for self-only coverage, the minimum deductible is $2,200, maximum deductible is $3,300 and the maximum out of pocket expense is $4,450, and (2) for family coverage, the minimum deductible is $4,450, maximum deductible is $6,650 and the maximum out of pocket expense is $8,150. The contribution limitation for any month is the amount equal to 1/12 of 65% of the annual deductible for an individual with self-only coverage and 1/12 of 75% of the annual deductible for family coverage. New Archer MSAs may not be established after 2007 but contributions can be made to existing accounts.
LINE 5. This line is used to report your allowable contribution to a Health Savings Account (HSA). To be eligible, a taxpayer must have had insurance coverage under a HDHP only.

LINE 7. You may take an adjustment for con- tributions made to a long-term intergenerational trust. This is a trust established for an individual under age 18 to provide funds for the minor’s retirement. The trustee must be a resident of Arkansas and cannot distribute any of the trust funds to the beneficiary until the beneficiary reaches age 55. Contributions are limited to $4,000 per year.
LINE 8. Employees and self-employed persons can deduct certain moving expenses incurred in 2015.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AR1000TC
Acredit of up to $50.00 per taxpayer ($100.00 for a joint return) is allowed against your Arkansas individual income tax liability for cash contributions made by the taxpayer(s) to one of the following:
(1) Acandidate seeking nomination or election to a public office or to the candidate’s campaign committee. (2) An approved political action committee as defined by Arkansas Code Annotated § 7-6-201. (3) An organized political party as defined in Arkansas Code Annotated § 7-1-101.
For the purposes of this credit, “public office” means any office created by or under the authority of the laws of the State of Arkansas, or a subdivision thereof, that is filled by the voters. The credit does not apply to contributions made to candidates for federal offices. The contribution must be made by April 15, 2016 to be claimed on the 2015 tax return.
Enter the amount of allowable State Political Contributions Credit(s) on this line. The allowable credit(s) cannot exceed $50 for Filing Status 1, 3, 5 or 6 or $100 total for Filing Status 2 or 4.
If you are an Arkansas resident and included income on your Arkansas Return that was also taxed by another state, you may claim a credit for the income tax portion of taxes paid to the other state on that income.
The income tax withheld from your wages by another state is NOT the amount of tax you owed the other state. For that reason, YOU MUST ATTACH TO YOUR ARKANSAS RETURN A SIGNED COPY OF THE TAX RETURN(S) YOU FILED WITH THE OTHER STATE(S). Enter the amount of net income tax liability to the other state(s).
NOTE: This credit cannot exceed the Arkansas income tax on the same income and cannot exceed the total tax you owe Arkansas.
Nonresidents cannot claim this credit on their Arkansas return. Part year residents will not be allowed this credit unless they continued to have taxable income from another state and the other state income is included as taxable income in Column C of Form AR1000NR.
A tax credit is allowed for a resident shareholder’s pro rata share of any net income tax paid by a Sub S Corpora- tion to a state that does not recognize Sub S Corporation status.
The State of Mississippi enacted a special tax that applies exclusively to gambling winnings. This tax is separate and distinct from Mississippi’s income tax. As such, an Arkansas taxpayer cannot claim a credit against his/her Arkansas income tax liability for payment of the gambling winnings tax to the State of Mississippi.
The Adoption Expense Credit allowed is twenty percent (20%) of the amount allowed on your federal return. A copy of federal Form 8839 must be attached to your Arkansas return.
Enter the allowable Phenylketonuria Disorder Credit. Attach Form AR1113.
Enter the total allowable credit(s) claimed. Enter the BIC Code(s) and amount(s) on Lines 5A to 5F. If the primary and/or spouse are claiming credits earned by a pass-through entity, then the FEIN of that entity must also be entered. Enter the total amounts from Lines 5A to 5F in box 5. A copy of the tax credit certificate(s) or appropriate documentation relevant to the tax credit(s) claimed must be attached to AR1000TC.
NOTE: Recent legislation may have amended, increased, or extended some of the provisions for Business In- centive Credits. Use of any credit is subject to the limitations and carryover provisions provided by the respective Arkansas statute. A summary of the Business Incentive Credit Programs can be found at www.dfa.arkansas.gov. If you have questions, please contact the Tax Credits/Special Refunds Section at (501) 682-7106.

CONSUMER USE TAX FORM
If you purchased taxable merchandise outside the State of Arkansas for use, storage, consumption or distribution within the state, a state and local consumer use tax may be due on the purchase price, including transportation charges. Due to the rapid increase in purchases being made through mail order, telephone, and the Internet, it has become a concern that individuals may not be aware of their obligation to report the consumer use tax on untaxed out of state purchases. Examples of merchandise subject to the consumer use tax include cas- settes, CD’s, books, furniture, jewelry, food, and clothing.
The use tax is a companion tax to the sales tax whose purpose is to not only raise revenue for the state, but more importantly to protect local merchants, who must collect sales tax, from the unfair advantage of out of state sellers who do not collect Arkansas’s sales tax. The use tax has been in effect since 1949.
The use tax rate is the same as the sales tax rate, 6.50% for all transactions except food purchases which has a reduced rate of 1.5% plus the applicable city and/or county rates where the merchandise is delivered in the state. The tax applies to the purchase price of the merchandise plus any shipping and handling charges that the merchant adds to your bill. If the total tax due is greater than $100 per month, the use tax report should be filed on a monthly basis. If the total tax due is $25 - $100 per month, the use tax report should be filed on a quarterly basis. If the total tax due is less than $25 per month, the use tax report should be filed on an annual basis.
Line 1 Indicate the month and year you are reporting. (mm/yyyy) Report all taxable purchases except food in Column A, food purchases are reported in Column B.

PENALTIES & INTEREST
o¥FF ORp
You must mail your tax return by April 15, 2016. Any return not postmarked by April 15, 2016 (unless you have an extension) will be delinquent. A penalty of one percent (1%) per month for failure to pay and five percent (5%) per month for failure to file, up to a maximum of thirty-five percent (35%), will be as- sessed on the amount of tax due on an original return. Interest of ten percent (10%) per year will also be assessed on any additional tax due, calculated from the original due date to the date you paid the tax due on an original or amended return.
An extension to file is not an extension to pay. If you have not paid the amount due by the original due date you will be subject to a failure to pay penalty of one percent (1%) per month of the unpaid balance.
In addition to any other penalties assessed, a pen- alty of $500 will be assessed, if any taxpayer files what purports to be a return, but the return does not contain information on which the correctness of the return may be judged, and such conduct is due to a position which is frivolous or an effort to delay or impede the administration of any State law.

PRESERVATION OF TAX RECORDS
A taxpayer who files an Arkansas income tax return is required to retain records to prove the accuracy of that return. The records must be retained for at least six (6) years (unless otherwise provided by law) and are subject to examination by the Director at any reason- able time during that period.
When a taxpayer fails to preserve and maintain the required records, the director may make an estimated assessment based upon any available information as to the amount of tax due by the taxpayer. Per ACA 26-18-506, the burden of proof of refuting this estimated assess- ment is upon the taxpayer.
Page 22
IF THE IRS AUDITS YOU
If the Internal Revenue Service examines your return for any tax year and changes your net taxable income, you must report the changes to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration within one hundred eighty (180) days from the receipt of the notice and demand for payment from the Internal Revenue Service.
File an amended return using Arkansas Form AR1000F/AR1000NR (or Form AR1000A/ AR1000ANR for tax years 2009 and prior) to report changes to your state return for the year(s) in question. Attach a copy of the federal changes.
If you fail to notify this Department within one hundred eighty (180) days and do not file the required amended return, the statute of limitations will remain open for three (3) years on the year(s) in question. Additional interest will be calculated on any tax you owe the State of Arkansas.
INFORMATION EXCHANGE PROGRAMS WITH THE IRS
Under authorization of Internal Revenue Code Section 6103(D) the State of Arkansas par- ticipates in several information exchange programs with the Internal Revenue Service:
@ CP2000:
The IRS matches income reported on a taxpayer’s federal income tax return with documents (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) provided to the IRS by the payer to determine whether income was omitted from the taxpayer’s return. If unreported income is discovered, the IRS assesses additional federal tax on the omitted income then notifies the State of Arkansas. The taxpayer’s state tax return is then reviewed for unreported income. (Some examples of commonly omitted income include wages, pensions, and cancel- lation of debt.)
@ Revenue Agent Reports “RARs”: When the IRS adjusts a taxpayer’s federal income tax return as the result of an audit, details are provided to the State of Arkansas. The taxpayer’s state tax return is then reviewed and adjusted if appropriate. (Some examples of RAR adjustments include disallowance of deductions, expenses, or dependents and assessment of early with- drawal penalties.)
® Non-filer Identification:
The IRS provides the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration with a list of taxpayers who filed federal returns using Arkansas addresses. This information is then compared with Arkansas income tax records to identify individuals who filed federal returns using Arkansas addresses but did not file Arkansas returns. Letters are sent inquiring whether the taxpayer is required to file. The taxpayer should file the return in question or provide documentation why he/she is not required to file. If a sufficient response is not received, state tax is assessed using amounts reported on the taxpayer’s federal return, and the taxpayer is mailed a Notice of Tax Adjust- ment.
Page 23
IDENTITY THEFT
In recent years identity theft associated with income tax returns has become an increasingly severe problem. Sometimes thieves steal a taxpayer’s Social Security Number and other private information then use this information to file tax returns and receive refunds that were not due to them.
If you believe your identity may have been used to file an Arkansas state tax return, these are the steps we suggest you take:
>» Contact us at (501) 682-1100 to report that your identity may have been stolen.
e@ Request a hold on your account to stop all fraudulent refunds.
>» Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at (800) 908-4490 and inform them that your identity was stolen and may have been used to file a fraudulent tax return.
e You should complete IRS Form 140339, an identity theft affidavit, to support your claim.
» Send a copy of the stamped IRS identity theft affidavit form to: Arkansas Individual Income Tax
PO Box 3628 Little Rock, AR 72203-3628
>» Contact the credit bureaus to ensure there have not been any other thefts related to your identity, and ask to have a fraud alert put on your credit report. The numbers to the credit bureaus are listed below:

TAXPAYER BILL OF RIGHTS
You have the right to a full explanation of all actions by any employee of the Director of the Department of Finance and Administration both during an audit and during collection activities.
e All tax information contained in the records and files of the Director of the Department of Finance and Administration (hereinafter “Director”) pertaining to you or your business is confidential subject to exceptions in Ark. Code Ann. § 26-18-303.
You may represent yourself in any proceeding or interview before the Director or you may be represented by anyone whom you authorize in writing to be your representative.
You have the right to consult with a lawyer, accountant, or other representative at any time during an interview with an employee of the Director. The Director shall suspend the interview to allow you to consult with your representative.
You may record any interview with the Director or his or her employee at your own expense. You should let the Director or his or her employee know in advance of your intention to record the interview. The Director may likewise record an interview, and a copy may be obtained within a reasonable time at your expense.
You may request an administrative review of any proposed assessment of tax. You must request this review within 60 days of your receipt of a Notice of Proposed Assessment. The administrative review may be based on an in-person hearing, a telephone hearing, or consideration of writ- ten documents. If you do not request an administrative hearing, you may still pursue your judicial remedies by filing an action in the circuit court.
If you receive an unfavorable decision from your administrative review, then you may request a review of the decision by the Director. This request must be received by the Director within 20 days of the mailing of the hearing decision. If you receive an unfavorable decision from the Director on any issue, you may pursue judicial remedies as discussed below.
After the issuance of the Notice of Final Assessment or the final determination of the hearing officer or Director, you may appeal the tax assess- ment to circuit court, regardless of whether you protested the assessment and requested an administrative review. To pursue your appeal of a tax assessment to circuit court you must do one of the following:
File suit within 180 days of the date of the Notice of Final Assessment or final determination of the hearing officer or Director if the tax- payer does not make any payment of the tax, penalty, or interest due; or
Pay the entire amount of tax due within one year of the date of the Notice of Final Assessment or final determination of the hearing officer or Director and file suit within one year of the date of payment; or
File suit within one year of the date of the final determination of the hearing officer or Director to recover assessed tax, penalty, and inter- est paid prior to the time for issuance of the Notice of Final Assessment.
A taxpayer may file an amended return or a verified claim for credit or refund of an overpayment of any state tax within three years from the date the return was filed or two years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. Any amended return or claim for refund should be filed with the office of the Revenue Division which administers the type of tax in question.
If the Director disallows the refund claim either in whole or in part, the Director will issue a Notice of Claim Denial. You may request an administra- tive review of the Notice of Claim Denial. This request must be made within 60 days of your receipt of the Notice of Claim Denial. If you receive an unfavorable decision from your administrative review, you may request a review of the decision by the Director. This request must be made within 20 days of the mailing of the hearing decision.
Following an administrative hearing and corresponding review, the taxpayer may seek judicial relief from the Notice of Claim Denial by appealing the decision to circuit court. Judicial review is available whether or not you requested an administrative review. To pursue your appeal to circuit court, you must file suit within one year of the date of the mailing of the Notice of Claim Denial, the final determination of the hearing officer, or revision decision of the Director, whichever is later. If the Director fails to issue a written decision in response to the refund claim within six months of the date a claim for refund is filed, the taxpayer may then file suit to recover the amount claimed.
Any taxpayer who wishes to file a complaint regarding any activity concerning the administration or collection of any state tax by the Revenue Division should make the complaint in writing to:
ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FOR POLICY AND LEGAL Mailing Address: LEDBETTER BUILDING, ROOM 2440 P.O. BOX 1272 LITTLE ROCK, AR 72203-1272
Overnight Mailing Address: LEDBETTER BUILDING, ROOM 2440 1816 W. 7TH ST. LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201
Email Address: John.Theis@dfa.arkansas.gov
In administering the state tax laws, the Director is authorized by law to make an examination or investigation of the business, books, and records of the taxpayer. If the Director determines that an additional amount of tax is due, then a Notice of Proposed Assessment shall be issued to the taxpayer. The taxpayer may seek relief from the Notice of Proposed Assessment as outlined above. If the taxpayer fails to preserve and maintain records suitable to determine the amount of tax due or to prove accuracy of any return, the Director may make an estimated assessment based upon the best information available as to the amount of tax due by the taxpayer.
The Director may issue a jeopardy assessment against any taxpayer (1) whose tax liability exceeds any bond on file indemnifying the state for the payment of a state tax, (2) who intends to leave the state, remove his or her property, or conceal himself or herself or his or her property, (3) who intends to discontinue his or her business without making adequate provisions for payment of state taxes, or (4) who does any other act tending to prejudice or jeopardize the Director’s ability to compute, assess, or collect any state tax. Any taxpayer seeking relief from a jeopardy assessment must request an administrative hearing within five days from the receipt of the Notice of Proposed Assessment.
When collecting any state tax due from a taxpayer, the Director is authorized to file a Certificate of Indebtedness (state tax lien) with the circuit clerk of any county of this state certifying that the person named therein is indebted to the state for the amount of tax due as established by the Director. The Certificate of Indebtedness shall have the same force and effect as the entry of a judgment rendered by a circuit court and shall constitute a lien upon the title of any real and personal property of the taxpayer in the county where the Certificate of Indebtedness is recorded.
After the filing of the Certificate of Indebtedness, the Director may take all steps authorized by law for the collection of the tax, including the is- suance of a writ of execution, garnishment, and cancellation of any state tax permits or registrations.
Any court costs or sheriffs fees which result from the Director’s attempt to collect delinquent taxes shall be collected from the taxpayer in addition to the tax, interest, and penalties included in the Certificate of Indebtedness.
