Page 4 ELECTRONIC FILING www.arkansas.gov/efile E-file is hassle-free both your federal and Arkansas income tax returns can be filed electronically in one transmission. E-file is smart computer programs catch 98% of tax return errors. E-file is worry-free receive acknowledgement within 2 to 3 business days if your return has been received and accepted. Arkansas participates in the Federal/State Electronic Filing Program for Individual Income Tax. The program is available to most full year residents and certain qualifying nonresidents and part year residents. Since Arkansas is a member of the “Free File Alliance,” depending on the level of income, taxpayers may qualify to file returns for free. (Go to www.arkansas. gov/efile for details.) Over 300,000 taxpayers took advantage of online filing last year. The same advantages are obtained by online filing as by electronic filing, but it does not require a preparer. For a nominal fee your federal and state returns can be prepared and filed electronically. The State of Arkansas is requesting additional information this filing season in an effort to combat identity tax fraud and ensure that your hard-earned tax refund goes to you. Providing information from your driver’s license or state-issued identification card will help protect your identity and could help process your return quicker. However, this is only a request. Information from your driver’s license is not required, and your return will be processed without the additional information. The information is being requested solely to help protect your identity and ensure a more-secure refund. www.officialpayments.com or call (800) 272-9829 PAY BY CREDIT CARD (Vendor charges nominal fee)

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 and 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. You should complete IRS Form 14039, an identity theft affidavit, to support your claim. Send a copy of the stamped IRS identity theft affidavit form to:

Page 6 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 reasonable 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 assessment is upon the taxpayer. REQUEST FOR COPIES OF ARKANSAS TAX RETURNS If your tax return was completed by a paid tax preparer, he/she should be able to provide a copy of the return. If you used a software product to prepare your tax return, you should be able to print a copy of the tax return from the software used. Otherwise to request a copy of your Arkansas tax return, please complete and submit Form AR4506. Form AR4506 may be downloaded from our website at: www.arkansas.gov/incometax. IF THE IRS AUDITS YOU INFORMATION EXCHANGE PROGRAMS WITH THE IRS Under authorization of Internal Revenue Code Section 6103(D) the State of Arkansas participates 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 cancellation 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 withdrawal 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 Proposed Assessment. 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 by the Internal Revenue Service. File an Amended Individual Income Tax Return, for the year(s) involved reporting the changes to your state return. 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 figured on any tax you owe the State of Arkansas.
Page 7 MILITARY PERSONNEL Military Pay Exemption (Act 1408 of 2013) Created a 100% exemption from income tax for service pay or allowance received by an active duty member of the armed forces for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Active duty includes all members of the armed forces, including the National Guard and Reserve Units. Military Spouses Residency Relief Act Exempts a military spouse’s income from Arkansas tax if the servicemember’s Home of Record is not Akansas and the spouse’s domicile is the same as the service member’s Home of Record. Effective January 1, 2009. Write the words “military spouse” at top of tax return and attach a completed Form AR-MS (available at www.arkansas.gov/ incometax) and a copy of service member’s Leave and Earning Statement (LES) to verify Home of Record. (For future tax purposes, the nonmilitary spouse must submit a new payroll withholding form ARW-4MS, to his/her employer each year to exempt future withholding.) The Military Family Tax Relief Act of 2003 (Act 372 of 2009) This act adopts IRC 121, 134, and 162 as in effect on January 1, 2009. Provisions of this act include exclusion of gain on sale of principal residence, deduction of overnight travel expenses for National Guard and Reserve members, and exclusion from income of “qualified military benefits”. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act Deferral of Tax - Upon notice to the Internal Revenue Service or the tax authority of a state or a political subdivision of a state, the collection of income tax on the income of a servicemember falling due before or during military service shall be deferred for a period not more than 180 days after termination of or release from military service, if a service member’s ability to pay such income tax is materially affected by military service. Accrual of Interest or Penalty - No interest or penalty shall accrue for the period of deferment by reason of nonpayment on any amount of tax deferred under this section. Statute of Limitations - The running of a statute of limitations against the collection of tax deferred under this section, by seizure or otherwise, shall be suspended for the period of military service of the servicemember and for an additional period of 270 days thereafter. Residence or Domicile - A servicemember shall neither lose nor acquire a residence or domicile for purposes of taxation with respect to the person, personal property, or income of the servicemember by reason of being absent or present in any tax jurisdiction of the United States solely in compliance with military orders. Military Service Compensation - Compensation of a servicemember for military service shall not be deemed to be income for services performed or from sources within a tax jurisdiction of the United States if the servicemember is not a resident or domiciliary of the jurisdiction in which the servicemember is serving in compliance with military orders. RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL Extension of Time for Veterans (Retirees) to File for Refund (Act 238 of 2009) This act extends the statute of limitations for a veteran to file a claim for refund of an overpayment that results from retroactive determination by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs that part or all of the uniformed service retirement payments to the taxpayer are payments made for a service-connected disability and are not included in gross income. Effective January 1, 2001.
Page 8 GROSS INCOME Gross income is any and all income (before deductions) other than income specifically described as exempt from tax on pages 9 and 10 “Exempt From Income Tax”. Exception: The $6,000 exemption on retirement income and the exemption on U.S. active duty military income as described on page 10 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 2017, 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 2017. MILITARY PERSONNEL If Arkansas is your Home of Record and you are stationed outside of Arkansas, you are still required to file an AR1000F reporting all of your income, including U.S. active duty military compensation. However, active duty military compensation is exempt from Arkansas tax beginning 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. active duty military compensation.) U.S. active duty 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 $4,050 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 $4,050 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 $4,050 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 regardless of when the death occurred during the year. Arkansas has adopted Internal Revenue Code §151(c)(6) regarding the tax treatment of kidnapped children. DEFINITIONS
Page 9 NOTE: The maximum extension that will be granted to an individual on an AR1055-IT is one hundred and eighty (180) days, extending the due date until October 15th. 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, 2018 to avoid failure to pay penalty and interest. Payments made on extension should be made using the voucher attached to Form AR1055-IT. See Page 15 for information on penalties and interest. EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX NOTE: List exempt income on AR4, Part III. (You do not need to list exclusion amounts from numbers 10-12.) 1. Money you received from a life insurance 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 issued the policy). 2. Money you received from life insurance, an endowment, or a private annuity contract for which you paid the premiums is allowed cost recovery pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §72. 3. Amounts you received as child support payments are exempt from tax. 4. Gifts, inheritances, bequests, or devises are exempt from tax. 5. Scholarships, fellowships, and grants are taxed pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §117. (Stipends are fully taxable.) For additional information on scholarships, fellowships, and grants see instructions for Line 20 on Page 13. INSTRUCTIONS THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR GUIDANCE ONLY AND DO NOT STATE THE COMPLETE LAW WHO MUST FILE A TAX RETURN WHEN TO FILE You can file your calendar year original tax return any time after December 31, 2017, but NO LATER THAN April 15, 2018, (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 ½) months following the close of the income year. NOTE: The date of the postmark stamped by the U.S. Postal Service 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 considered 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 15th. 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-IT before the filing due date of April 15th. Inability to pay is not a valid reason to request an Arkansas extension. Send your request to:

Page 10 6. Interest you received from direct United States obligations, its possessions, the State of Arkansas, or any political subdivision of the State of Arkansas is exempt from tax. Obligations 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 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, Unemployment Compensation, Railroad Retirement benefits and related supplemental 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 compensation. 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. active duty 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 employer sponsored retirement plan, including disability retirement, that is not exempt under IRC §104, the first $6,000 is exempt from tax. If you contributed 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 documentation must be submitted with the return.) 12. If you received a traditional IRA distribution 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 nondeductible 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 exemption. NOTE: Total exemptions from all plans described under 11 and 12 cannot exceed $6,000 per taxpayer, not including recovery of cost. 13. Beginning with tax year 2017, income received by a taxpayer under the Community Match Rural Physician Recruitment Program is exempt from income tax. Gambling winnings from Arkansas electronic games of skill are not included as income and the 3% withholding is excluded from Line 37. To determine if your gambling winnings are taxable, see instructions for Line 20, Page 13. FILING AN AMENDED RETURN If filing an amended return, check the box at the top right corner of Form AR1000F/ AR1000NR/AR1000S. Complete the return, replacing the incorrect entries from your original return with the amended entries. Attach an explanation and supporting documentation for items changed. (Do not file an amended return until after your original return has been processed.)

Page 11 INCOME FULL YEAR RESIDENTS If your filing status is Married Filing Separately on the Same Return, both Column A and Column B must be used. Write your income in Column A and your spouse’s income in Column B. For all other filing statuses, write all income in Column A only. NONRESIDENTS AND PART YEAR RESIDENTS Complete Column A (and Column B if using Filing Status 4) of the AR1000NR as if you were a full year resident. List all of your income from all sources for the entire year in these two columns. List in Column C the total combined income (for both spouses) earned while Arkansas residents and income derived from Arkansas sources. The total tax must be computed on the income totals in Columns A and B. After all allowable tax credits have been subtracted from the total tax, prorate the remaining balance. See instructions for Lines 36A, 36B, 36C, and 36D on Page 14. NONRESIDENTS AND PART YEAR RESIDENTS MUST ATTACH A COPY OF YOUR FEDERAL RETURN, OR YOUR ARKANSAS RETURN WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. (For example, if your Form W-2 shows $10,897.50, round to $10,898. If your Form W-2 shows $10,897.49, round to $10,897.) Staple the state copy of each of your W-2(s) and 1099-R(s) to the left margin of the front of the return. LINE 8. Add the wages, salaries, tips, etc. reported on your W-2(s). Enter the total on this line. Attach W-2(s). Enter U.S. Military Compensation on Line 9A or 9B.

The balance is subject to tax. The rental value of your home must be shown on Form AR4, Part III. Attach AR4 and W-2(s). LINE 9A. Beginning with tax year 2014, all of the service pay or allowance received by an active duty member of the armed services is exempt from Arkansas income tax. If you had U.S. active duty military compensation, enter gross amount in the space provided. Do not enter an amount in Column A. Attach W-2(s). Filing Status 2 (Married Filing Joint):
If you and your spouse both had U.S. active duty military compensation, add both gross amounts together and enter here. Enter U.S. Military Retirement on Line 17A. MARRIED PERSONS WHO LIVED APART Even if you were not divorced or legally separated in 2017, you may be considered unmarried and file as Head of Household. See Internal Revenue Service instructions for Head of Household to determine if you qualify. BOX 4. Filing Status 4 (Married Filing Separately on the Same Return) Check this box if you were married and are filing SEPARATELY ON THE SAME TAX RETURN. This method of tax computation may reduce your tax liability if both spouses had income. The result will be either a combined refund or a combined tax due. IF ONE SPOUSE HAD A TOTAL NEGATIVE INCOME, YOU MUST FILE MARRIED FILING JOINTLY. BOX 5. Filing Status 5 (Married Filing Separately on Different Returns) Check this box if you were married and are filing separate tax returns. BOX 6. Filing Status 6 [Qualifying Widow(er)] Check this box if you are a QUALIFYING WIDOW(ER). You are eligible to file as a QUALIFYING WIDOW(ER) if your spouse died in 2015 or 2016 and you meet each of the following tests: 1. You were entitled to file MARRIED FILING JOINTLY or MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY ON THE SAME RETURN with your spouse for the year your spouse died. It does not matter whether you actually filed a joint return. 2. You did not remarry before the end of 2017. 3. You had a child, stepchild, adopted child, or foster child who qualified as your dependent for the year. 4. You paid more than half the cost of keeping a home, which was the main home of that child for the entire year except for temporary absences. DECEASED TAXPAYER An Arkansas tax return should be filed for a taxpayer who died during the tax year as if the taxpayer had lived the entire year. The word “DECEASED” should appear after his/her name along with the date of death. NOTE: Any refund check issued to a deceased taxpayer will be made out to the estate of the deceased taxpayer, i.e. “Estate of John/Jane Doe”. To cash the check, the bank may require documentation such as death certificate, will, or power of attorney. PERSONAL TAX CREDITS LINE 7A. Each taxpayer and spouse is entitled to one personal tax credit. You can claim additional personal tax credits if you can answer “Yes” to any of these questions:
Is your filing status Head of Household or
Qualifying Widow(er)?
On January 1, 2018, were you age 65 or over?
On December 31, 2017, were you deaf?
On December 31, 2017, were you blind? Check the box or boxes that apply to you and/or your spouse. You CANNOT claim any of these credits for your children or dependents. Blindness is defined as being unable to tell light from darkness, having eyesight in the better eye not exceeding 20/200 with corrective lens, or having a field of vision limited to an angle of 20 degrees. You can claim the Deaf Credit only if the average loss in speech frequencies (500 to 2000 Hertz) in the better ear is 86 decibels, I.S.O., or worse. Any taxpayer age 65 or over not claiming a retirement income exemption on Line 17 is eligible for an additional $26 (per taxpayer) tax credit. Check the box(es) marked “65 Special”. Add the number of boxes you checked on Line 7A. Write the total in the box provided. Multiply the number by $26 and write amount in space provided. LINE 7B. List the name(s) of your dependent(s), Social Security Numbers, and relationship to you in the space provided. DO NOT INCLUDE YOURSELF AND/OR YOUR SPOUSE.

(Individual must qualify for credit. See Form AR1000RC5 to check if eligible.) NOTE: You must attach Form AR1000RC5 to your return if this is the first year you claim the Credit for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. A certified AR1000RC5 must be filed with your tax return every five (5) years. If credit was received on a prior year’s return, do not file another AR1000RC5 until the Individual Income Tax Section notifies you. LINE 7D. Total the tax credits from Lines 7A, 7B, and 7C. Enter the total on this line and on Line 32.
Page 12 LINE 14. If you had gains or losses from the sale of real estate, stocks or bonds, or gains or losses from capital assets from partnerships, S corporations, or fiduciaries, enter your taxable share. Adjust the amount of gain or loss for any federal/state depreciation differences. Arkansas did not adopt the federal “bonus depreciation” provision from previous years. Therefore, there may be a difference in federal and Arkansas amounts of depreciation allowed. Adjust your gains and losses for depreciation differences, if any, in the federal and Arkansas amounts on Lines 2, 5 and 10 of the Arkansas Form AR1000D. If, after the netting process, you had a capital gain or loss reported on federal Schedule D or on Form 1040/1040A, use Arkansas Form AR1000D to determine the taxable amount to enter. Attach federal Schedule D and Arkansas Form AR1000D to your return. The amount of capital loss that can be deducted after offsetting capital gains is limited to $3,000 ($1,500 per taxpayer for filing Status 4 or 5). If your capital loss was more than the yearly limit on capital loss deductions, you can carry over the unused part to later years until used up. The gain on the sale of your personal residence is exempt up to $250,000 per taxpayer ($500,000 for married couples filing on the same return). The property must, during the 5 year period ending on the day of sale, be owned and used by the taxpayer(s) as the principal residence for periods aggregating 2 years or more. LINE 15. Enter the ordinary gain or (loss) from Part II of federal Form 4797. Adjust for any differences in Arkansas and federal depreciation. The capital loss limit does not apply. Attach federal Form 4797 and/or 4684 if applicable. LINE 16. Use this line to report taxable lump- sum distributions, annuities, and traditional IRA distributions. Include early withdrawal of traditional IRA distributions on this line. List only the amount of withdrawal and attach the federal Form 5329 showing the tax on premature distribution. Also, enter ten percent (10%) of the tax from the federal Form 5329, Part I and Part II, on Line 30. If you received a distribution which does not qualify for the Lump-Sum Distribution Averaging Schedule (AR1000TD), list the total distribution received in 2017. (See AR1000TD to determine if you qualify to use the averaging method.) Attach 1099-R(s). Premature distributions are amounts you withdrew from your traditional IRA, deferred compensation, or thrift savings plans before you were either age 59 ½ or disabled. Rollovers on distributions are tax exempt. NOTE: If you filed a claim under McFadden v. Weiss or Maples v. Weiss and your basis has been fully recovered, enter the amount from Box 1 of your 1099- R(s) as the “Gross” and “Taxable Amount” on Line 17A or 17B. LINE 9B.

Enter U.S. Military Retirement on Line 17B (filing Status 4 only). HOME OF RECORD OTHER THAN ARKANSAS: If your Home of Record is not Arkansas, do not report to Arkansas your income or your nonresident spouse’s income. Fill out and submit AR-NRMILITARY Form to have a note put on your account that you are not required to file a return. Your spouse’s income is exempt from Arkansas tax if your Home of Record is not Arkansas and your spouse’s domicile is the same as your Home of Record. However, if your spouse had Arkansas income tax withheld, he/she will need to file a return to get a refund. Write the words “military spouse” at top of tax return and attach a completed Form AR-MS and a copy of service member’s Leave and Earning Statement (LES) to verify Home of Record. (For future tax purposes, your nonmilitary spouse must submit a new payroll withholding form, ARW-4MS to his/her employer each year to exempt withholding.) LINE 10. If you received interest from bank deposits, notes, mortgages, corporation bonds, savings and loan association deposits, and credit union deposits, enter all interest received or credited to your account during the year. If the total is over $1,500, complete and attach Form AR4. LINE 11. If you received dividends and other distributions, enter amounts received as dividends from stocks in any corporation. If the total is over $1,500, complete and attach Form AR4. LINE 12. Enter alimony or separate maintenance received as the result of a court order. LINE 13.

If you did not file a federal Schedule C or C-EZ, submit a similar schedule and enter the net income (or loss). If you filed a federal Schedule C or C-EZ, attach it to your return. Business income may not be split between you and your spouse unless a partnership was legally established. Report partnership income on Form AR1050 and attach K-1(s) for each partner. Include on Line 20, Other Income, any federal/state depreciation differences. LINE 17A.

Enter the federal taxable amount from Box 2a of your 1099-R(s) in the space provided. If Box 2a is blank, use the Simplified Method Worksheet in the federal 1040 Instruction Booklet to calculate the taxable amount of your distribution. You are entitled to a $6,000 exemption from the taxable amount; the balance is taxable to Arkansas. Enter the balance on Line 17A, Column A. Attach 1099-R(s). FILING STATUS 2 (Married Filing Joint) ONLY: If you and your spouse both had income from a retirement plan and/or qualified traditional IRA distribution, enter the combined gross income amount from Box 1 of your 1099-R(s). Enter the combined federal taxable amount from Box 2a of your 1099-R(s). If Box 2a is blank, use the Simplified Method Worksheet in the federal 1040 Instruction Booklet to calculate the taxable amount of your distribution. Both you and your spouse are entitled to a $6,000 exemption from your respective taxable retirement plan income; the balance is taxable to Arkansas. Enter the balance on Line 17A. Attach 1099-R(s). LINE 17B. FILING STATUS 4 (Married Filing Separately on the Same Return) ONLY: If your spouse had income from an employment related pension plan or a qualified traditional IRA distribution, enter the gross income from Box 1 of his or her 1099-R(s).

If Box 2a is blank, use the Simplified Method Worksheet in the federal 1040 Instruction Booklet to calculate the taxable amount of his or her distribution. Your spouse is entitled to a $6,000 exemption from the taxable amount; the balance is taxable to Arkansas. Enter the balance on Line 17B. Attach 1099-R(s). You are eligible for the $6,000 exemption for retirement or disability benefits provided the distribution was from public or private employment-related retirement systems, plans, or programs.

The early withdrawal penalty may be applicable even though the exemption is granted. If you received a traditional IRA distribution after reaching the age of fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2), the first $6,000 is exempt from tax. 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. Note: If you made nondeductible contributions to your traditional IRA, enter taxable amount from federal Form 8606 in the space provided. Attach federal Form 8606.

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)

Credit card payments may be made by calling 1-800-2PAY-TAXSM (1-800-272-9829), or by visiting www.officialpayments.com and clicking on the “Payment Center” link. Credit card payments will be processed by Official Payments Corporation, a private credit card payment services provider.

You will be informed of the exact amount of the fee before you complete your transaction. After you complete your transaction you will be given a confirmation number to keep with your records. NOTE: Do not send currency or coin by mail. PENALTIES & INTEREST You must mail your tax return by April 15, 2018. Any return not postmarked by April 15, 2018 (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 assessed 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 penalty of $500 will be assessed, if any taxpayer files what appears 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. REFUND OR TAX DUE LINE 45. If Line 44 is more than Line 36 on Form AR1000F or Line 36D on Form AR1000NR, you overpaid your tax. Write the difference here.

If you checked the box ultimately placing your direct deposit into a foreign account, stop here. Direct deposits will not be deposited into accounts outside the United States; this includes Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. The State of Arkansas is not responsible for the misapplication of a direct deposit that results from error, negligence or malfeasance on the part of the taxpayer, the provider or preparer, financial institution or any of their agents. Check your form carefully, since any error could prevent your bank from accepting your direct deposit. Refunds that are not direct deposited because of Institutional refusal, erroneous account or routing transit numbers, closed accounts, bank mergers or any other reason are issued as paper checks. While the State of Arkansas ordinarily processes a request for direct deposit, it reserves the right to issue a paper check and does not guarantee a specific date for deposit of the refund into the taxpayer’s account. The Director is allowed 90 days from the return due date or the date the return was filed, whichever occurs later, to refund an overpayment of tax without interest (Act 262 of 2005).

Page 21 TAXPAYER BILL OF RIGHTS Your Rights As A Taxpayer 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. • 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 (file a protest) of any proposed assessment of tax. You must request this review in writing 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 written 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 in writing and 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 assessment 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: (1) 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 taxpayer does not make any payment of the tax, penalty, or interest due; or (2) 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 (3) File suit within one year of the date of the final determination of the hearing officer or Director to recover assessed tax, penalty, and interest 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. The ability to file an amended return is not available to a taxpayer whose liability was determined as a result of an audit by the Department. • 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 administrative review (protest) 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 in writing 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 request for administrative review (protest) of a proposed assessment or a complaint regarding any activity concerning the administration or collection of any state tax by the Revenue Division should make the protest or 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: protest@dfa.arkansas.gov Fax: (501) 683-1161 • 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 issuance of a writ of execution, garnishment, and cancellation of any state tax permits or registrations. Any court costs or sheriff’s 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.

Your tax is to the right of this amount. 2. Married couples must use the same filing status and tax table. If one spouse uses the Regular Tax Table, then both must use the Regular Tax Table. 3. Be sure to subtract Line 25 (standard deduction or your itemized deductions) from Line 24 before using the regular tax table. If you and your spouse use Filing Status 4 or 5, make sure you prorate your itemized deductions between you and your spouse. Current year indexed tax brackets are available on our website at www.arkansas.gov/incometax

The new indexed tax tables are based on the following brackets:
If you use a formula to calculate Arkansas income tax, the results must match the table exactly. The calculations in the table are made at the midpoint of each income level.
EXAMPLE 1: For income level $75,900 to $76,000.
($75,900+$76,000)/2=$75,950 x .06 = $4,557.00 - $759.85 = $3,797.15 rounded to $3,797.00
Tax from table: $3,797.00
EXAMPLE 2: For income level $14,800 to $14,900.
($14,800 + $14,900)/2=$14,850 x .044 = $653.40 – $283.97 = $369.43 rounded to $369.00
