If you use the amounts from your 2025 federal tax return to complete your Arizona return and the Legislature does not adopt the 2025 federal changes, you may have to amend your return at a later date for any difference between Arizona and federal law.

Notice As a rule, the starting point for your Arizona return is your federal adjusted gross income. To take itemized deductions, you must start with the amount shown on the federal Schedule A. This is the case for 2025, except for changes Congress made to the federal tax code during 2025, and the following applies: 1. The changes affect how you figure your federal adjusted gross income. AND/OR 2. The changes affect how you figure your itemized deductions. When federal changes are made, the Arizona legislature must adopt those changes if the Arizona starting points are kept the same. The legislature will address this issue when it is in session during 2026. The Arizona Department of Revenue must publish these forms before this issue is addressed by the legislature. When ADOR went to print, Arizona had not yet adopted any federal tax law changes made after January 1, 2025. What does this mean to you? It means that if any of the federal law changes made after January 1, 2025 apply to your 2025 return, you can opt to file your 2025 return using one of the following methods: 1. You can wait and file your 2025 return after this issue has been addressed. To do this, you may need to ask for a filing extension. You must pay 90% of the tax due by the due date of the return before any extension. 2. You can file your 2025 return, assuming that the federal law changes will be adopted. The 2025 tax forms make these assumptions. If you opt for method 2, one of the following will apply: x If Arizona adopts those changes, you do not have to do anything more. x If Arizona does not adopt all federal changes, you may need to amend your 2025 Arizona return. Your amended return will have to show the difference between the Arizona law and the federal law. If this happens, we will post more details on our Conformity web page at https://azdor.gov/legal-research/conformity-irc. x Generally, no penalties or interest will be assessed on these amended returns if you follow the Department’s instructions and pay any tax due when you file your original 2025 return, and you file and pay the required amended return by the extended due date of your 2026 return. 3. You can file your 2025 return, assuming that we will not adopt the federal law changes. If you opt for this method, you will have to do the following: x You will have to research all of the federal changes made after January 1, 2025. x You will have to figure out if any of those changes apply to you. x You will have to figure out how to make adjustments for those changes on your return. If you opt for method 3, one of the following will apply: x If Arizona does not adopt those changes, you do not have to do anything more. x If Arizona adopts those changes, you may need to amend your 2025 Arizona return. Your amended return will have to show the difference between what you reported and what you should have reported. If this happens, we will post more details on our Conformity web page at https://azdor.gov/legal-research/conformity-irc. 3

AVOID PROCESSING DELAYS: Are you mailing your Arizona income tax return? If you are mailing your return to the department, see the last page of these instructions for assembly order (form sequence) information. Who Must Use Form 140? You (and your spouse, if married filing a joint return) may file Form 140 only if both of you are full year residents of Arizona. You must use Form 140 rather than Form 140A or Form 140EZ to file for 2025 if any of the following apply to you: • Your Arizona taxable income is $50,000 or more, regardless of filing status. • You are making adjustments to income. • You itemize deductions. (Continued on next column.) • You claim tax credits other than the family income tax credit, the credit for increased excise taxes, or the property tax credit. • You are claiming estimated payments. • You received the 2025 Arizona Families Tax Rebate and are subtracting the amount of your rebate received from Arizona gross income (see page 6, item “U”). Do You Have to File? Arizona Filing Requirements These rules apply to all Arizona taxpayers. You must file if you are:
and your gross income is more than: • Single $ 15,750 • Married filing joint $ 31,500 • Married filing separate $ 15,750 • Head of Household $ 23,625 If you are an Arizona resident, you must report income from all sources including out-of-state income. To see if you have to file, figure your gross income the same as you would figure your gross income for federal income tax purposes. Then, you should exclude income that Arizona law does not tax. Income that Arizona law does not tax includes: • interest from U.S. Government obligations; • social security retirement benefits received under Title II of the Social Security Act; • benefits received under the Railroad Retirement Act, tier 1 or tier 2 railroad retirement benefits, railroad disability benefits reported on federal forms RRB-1099 and RRB- 1099-R, railroad unemployment benefits and railroad sickness payments paid by the Railroad Retirement Board; • pay received for active service as a member of the Reserves, National Guard or the U.S. Armed Forces; or • benefits, annuities and pensions as retired or retainer pay of the uniformed services of the United States. If you are the surviving spouse of a deceased military veteran, and are receiving payments from the uniformed services of the United States, you may exclude 100% of the payments you received. NOTE: Even if you are not required to file, you must still file a return to get a refund of any Arizona income tax withheld. Do You Have to File if You Are an American Indian? You must file if you meet the Arizona filing requirements unless all the following apply to you: • You are an enrolled member of an Indian tribe. • You live on the reservation established for that tribe. • You earned all of your income on that reservation. 6
Arizona Form 140 2 For information on the Arizona tax treatment of American Indians, see the department’s ruling, ITR 96-4, Income Taxation of Indians and Spouses. Do You Have to File if You Are the Spouse of an American Indian and You Are Not an Enrolled Indian? You must file if you meet the Arizona filing requirements. For more information, see the department’s ruling, ITR 96-4, Income Taxation of Indians and Spouses. Do You Have to File if You Are in the Military? You must file if you meet the Arizona filing requirements unless all of the following apply to you: • You are an active duty member of the United States armed forces. • Your only income for the taxable year is pay received for active duty military service. • There was no Arizona tax withheld from your active duty military pay. If Arizona tax was withheld from your active duty military pay, you must file an Arizona income tax return to claim any refund you may be due from that withholding. You must also file an Arizona income tax return if you have any other income besides pay received for active duty military service. If you were an Arizona resident when you entered the service, you remain an Arizona resident, no matter where you are stationed, until you establish a new domicile. As an Arizona resident, you must report all of your income to Arizona, no matter where you are stationed. You must include your military pay, but using Form 140, you may subtract all pay received for active duty military service to the extent it is included in your federal adjusted gross income. If you are not an Arizona resident, but stationed in Arizona, the following apply to you: • You are not subject to Arizona income tax on your military pay. • You must report any other income you earn in Arizona using Form 140NR, Nonresident Personal Income Tax Return. To find out more, see the department’s publication, Pub. 704, Taxpayers in the Military. If You Included Your Child's Unearned Income on Your Federal Return, Does Your Child Have to File an Arizona Return? No. In this case, the child should not file an Arizona return. The parent must include that same income in his or her Arizona taxable income. Determining Residency Status If you are not sure if you are an Arizona resident for state income tax purposes, we may be able to help. For more information, see the department’s procedure, ITP 92-1, Procedure For Determining Residency Status. 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. An Arizona resident is subject to Arizona tax on all income no matter where the income is earned. Part-Year Residents If you are a part-year resident, you must file Arizona Form 140PY, Part-Year Resident Personal Income Tax Return. You are a part-year resident if you did either of the following during 2025: • You moved into Arizona with the intent of becoming a resident. • You moved out of Arizona with the intent of giving up your Arizona residency. Nonresidents If you are a nonresident (including nonresident aliens), you must file Arizona Form 140NR, Nonresident Personal Income Tax Return. What if a Taxpayer Died? If a taxpayer died before filing a return for 2025, the taxpayer's spouse or personal representative may have to file and sign a return for that taxpayer. A personal representative can 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 the taxpayer would have used. The person who files the return should print the word "deceased" after the decedent's name and enter the date of death after the decedent's name. If your spouse died in 2025 and you did not remarry in 2025 or if your spouse died in 2026 before filing a return for 2025, you may file a joint return. If your spouse died in 2025, the joint return should show your spouse's 2025 income before death and your income for all of 2025. If your spouse died in 2026, before filing the 2025 return, the joint return should show all of your income and all of your spouse's income for 2025. 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.

Arizona Form 140 3 Claiming a Refund for a Deceased Taxpayer If you are claiming a refund for a deceased taxpayer, you must complete Arizona Form 131, Claim for Refund on Behalf of Deceased Taxpayer. Place the form behind the 140 return, when mailing Form 140. If you are claiming a refund on Form 140-SBI for a deceased taxpayer, you must also complete Arizona Form 131-SBI, Claim for Refund on Behalf of Deceased Taxpayer. Place Form 131-SBI behind Form 140-SBI when mailing both returns. What are the Filing Dates and Penalties? NOTE: If the due date for an income tax or related payment falls on a weekend and/or legal holiday, the filing or payment is considered timely if filed or paid on the next business day and that business day is a day other than Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday. When Should You File? Your 2025 calendar year tax return is due no later than midnight, April 15, 2026. File your return as soon as you can after January 1, 2026 but no later than April 15, 2026. 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 automatic 6-month extension if you know you will not be able to file on time. If you request an extension to file your 2025 calendar year tax return, your due date is October 15, 2026 to timely file your 2025 tax return. NOTE: An extension does not extend the time to pay your income tax. See the instructions for Arizona Form 204. To get a filing extension, you can either • Apply for a state extension (Arizona Form 204). To apply for a state extension, file Form 204 by April 15, 2026. See Form 204 for details. You do not have to include a copy of the extension with your return when you file, but make sure that you check box 82F (above your name) 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. • Use your federal extension (federal Form 4868). File your Arizona return by the same due date. You do not have to include a copy of your federal extension with your return, but make sure that you check box 82F (above your name) on page 1 of the return. When Should You File if You Are a Nonresident Alien? As a Nonresident Alien, do not file Form 140. Use Form 140NR, Nonresident Personal Income Tax Return, to report your Arizona sourced income. File Form 140NR-SBI if you elect to report your Arizona sourced small business income on the Small Business Income Tax Return. See the instructions for Form 140NR for your filing due date(s).
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 2025 calendar year return by April 15, 2026 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. For more information, see “Mailing Your Return” at the end of these instructions. 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 a 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%. 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 after you have filed, do not file a new return using Form 140. You must file Arizona Form 140X, Individual Amended Income Tax Return. File your amended return after your original return has processed. 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. If the IRS makes a change to your federal taxable income for any year, you must report that change to Arizona. You must file
8
Arizona Form 140 4 Form 140X within 90 days of the final determination of the IRS. 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 and mail your Arizona return within 90 days of the final determination of the IRS. Include a complete copy of the federal notice with 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 Individual Income Audit Arizona Department of Revenue PO Box 29084 Phoenix, AZ 85038-9084 Do You Need to Make Arizona Estimated Payments in 2026?

Use the worksheet for Arizona Form 140ES to figure how much your payments should be. For more information about making estimated payments, see the department’s publication, Pub. 012, Arizona Individual Estimated Income Tax Payments. What if You Make Your Estimated Payments Late? We will charge you a penalty if you are late or if you fail to make any required payments. See Arizona Form 221. Can You Make Estimated Payments Even if You Do Not Have To? If you do not have to make Arizona estimated income tax payments, you may still choose to make them. For details, see Arizona Form 140ES.

A paid preparer who fails to include the proper identification number may also be subject to a penalty. Determining Your Filing Status The filing status that you use on your Arizona return may be different from that used on your federal return. Use this section to determine your filing status. Check the correct box (4 through 7) on the front of Form 140. If you qualify as married for federal purposes, you qualify as married for Arizona purposes and must file using the status of either married filing joint or married filing separate. If you are single, you must file as single or if qualified you may file as head of household (see the instructions for box 5). Box 4 - Married Filing Joint Return If you are married and filing a joint return, check box 4. You may file a joint return if you were married as of December 31, 2025. It does not matter whether or not you were living with your spouse. You may file a joint return, even if you and your spouse filed separate federal returns. You may file a joint return if your spouse died during 2025 and you did not remarry in 2025. See page 2 of these instructions for details. Arizona Form 140 is for full year residents only. You may not file a joint income tax return on Form 140 if any of the following apply: • Your spouse is a nonresident alien (citizen of and living in another country). • Your spouse is a resident of another state. • Your spouse is a part-year Arizona resident. If filing a joint return with your nonresident spouse, you must file a joint return using Arizona Form 140NR. See Form 140NR instructions. If filing a joint return with your part-year resident spouse, you must file a joint return using Arizona Form 140PY. See Form 140PY instructions. For more information on filing a joint tax return with your part-year resident or nonresident spouse, see the department’s ruling, ITR 14-1, Filing a Joint Tax Return When a Resident Spouse is Married to a Part-Year Resident or Nonresident. Box 4a - Injured Spouse Protection of Joint Overpayment Check box 4a only if you and your spouse are filing a joint return and you or your spouse qualify as an injured spouse and are requesting protection from application of any joint overpayment against the other spouse’s delinquencies or debts for back child support, court fees, and fees to counties, cities or educational institutions. The taxpayer (spouse) requesting injured spouse protection must have Arizona income with taxes withheld and reported on their own Form W-2 or Form 1099. NOTE: You cannot use Form 203 to request protection from offset for past-due federal taxes. You must contact the IRS.

For more information, see the instructions for Form 203. Box 5 - Head of Household Return If you are filing as a head of household, check box 5. Enter the name of the qualifying child or dependent in the space provided. You may file as head of household on your Arizona return only if one of the following applies: • You qualify to file as head of household on your federal return; or • You qualify to file as a qualifying widow or widower on your federal return.

When you file separate returns, you must account for community deductions and credits on the same basis as community income. Both you and your spouse must either itemize or not itemize. If one of you itemizes, you both must itemize. If one of you takes a standard deduction, you both must take a standard deduction. One of you may not claim a standard deduction while the other itemizes.

Totaling Your Income Line 12 - Federal Adjusted Gross Income You must complete your federal return before you enter an amount on line 12. You must complete a 2025 federal return to determine your federal adjusted gross income, even if you are not filing a federal return. Arizona uses federal adjusted gross income as a starting point to determine Arizona taxable income. Your federal adjusted gross income is your Arizona gross income. NOTE: Be sure to use your federal adjusted gross income and not your federal taxable income. If the amount on line 12 is more than $75,000 ($150,000 if filing a joint return), you may need to make estimated payments. See "Do You Need to Make Estimated Payments in 2026?" on page 4. Arizona Small Business Income Tax Return Individuals may elect to report their small business income on Arizona Form 140-SBI, Small Business Income (SBI), for the small business income amount included in their federal adjusted gross income. An individual’s small business income is reported on federal Schedules B, C, D, E, F and Form 4797 (for amounts not included on Schedule D). For more information, see Form 140- SBI and instructions. Additional information and guidance can be found in the department’s Publication 712, Summary of Arizona Small Business Income and Taxation.

Additions to Income NOTE: • If you are electing to report your small business income on Form 140-SBI and if any of the following additions are directly related to the small business income, report that addition on Form 140-SBI. If the addition is not directly related to small business income, make the addition on Form 140. • If you are not filing Form 140-SBI, make that addition on Form 140. Line 15 - Non-Arizona Municipal Interest If you are making the small business election and this addition is directly related to small business income reported on Form 140-SBI, do not report the addition on Form 140, enter the addition on Form 140-SBI.

If you received tax exempt interest from municipal bonds, keep a schedule listing the payors and the amount received from each payor for your records. You should also keep supporting documents for amounts received from Arizona municipal bonds that are exempt from Arizona income tax. These may be items such as bank statements, brokerage statements, etc. Line 16 - Partnership Income Adjustment If you are making the small business election and this addition is directly related to small business income reported on Form 140-SBI, do not report the addition on Form 140, enter the addition on Form 140-SBI.

Arizona Form 140 9 Form 140-SBI, do not report the addition on Form 140, enter the addition on Form 140-SBI. Enter the total amount of depreciation deducted on your federal return. If you make an entry here, you should also take a subtraction on line 26. To figure out how much you should subtract, see the instructions for line 26. Line 18 - Other Additions to Arizona Gross Income NOTE: • If you are electing to report your small business income on Form 140-SBI and if any of the following “other additions” are directly related to the small business income, report that addition on Form 140-SBI. If the addition is not directly related to small business income, make the addition on Form 140. • If you are not filing Form 140-SBI, make that “other addition” on Form 140. Use line 18 if any of the following special circumstances apply. NOTE: If you are reporting any adjustment on line 18 complete the schedule on page 5 of your tax return, Other Additions to Arizona Gross Income, and include it with your return. If you are not reporting any adjustment on line 18, do not include page 5 with your return. You may either add (on line 18) or subtract (on line 36) items A and B, depending on your situation. A. 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, and • 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 adjust your income, keep a schedule for your records of how you figured your adjustment. For more information, see the department’s publication, Pub. 200, Income Tax Issues Affecting Married and Divorced Taxpayers. B. Fiduciary Adjustment If you are making the small business election and this addition is directly related to small business income reported on Form 140-SBI, do not report the addition on Form 140, enter the addition on Form 140-SBI. A fiduciary uses Arizona 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 Form 141AZ Schedule K-1 is a positive number, include that amount on line 18. NOTE: If the amount reported on line 3 of your Form 141AZ Schedule K-1 is a negative number, include that amount as an Other Subtraction on line 36. C. Ordinary Income Portion of Lump-Sum Distributions Excluded on Your Federal Return Make this adjustment if you use federal averaging for lump-sum distributions from your pension or profit-sharing plan. Arizona law does not provide for averaging. Enter the amount of the distribution that you treated as ordinary income on your federal return. If you choose to treat the capital gain portion of the distribution as ordinary income, you must also include that amount. For more information, see the department’s ruling, ITR 93-5, Arizona's Income Tax Treatment of the Capital Gain Portion of a Lump Sum Distribution from a Qualified Retirement Plan. D. Items Previously Deducted for Arizona Purposes Arizona statutes prohibit a taxpayer from deducting items more than once. If your Arizona taxable income includes items previously deducted for Arizona purposes, you must add such amounts to your Arizona gross income. E. Claim of Right Adjustment for Amounts Repaid in 2025 NOTE: For items E, Fa and Fb; taxpayers that made the election to file an Arizona Small Business Income Tax Return in 2025, if the income required to be paid back under the claim of right is the type of income that would be included in lines 4 through 9 of the 140-SBI return if the income were reported in 2025, the adjustment should be made in the 140-SBI return. All other claim of right adjustments should be made on the regular 140 return. You must make an entry here if all of the following apply: • During 2025, you were required to repay amounts held under a claim of right. • The amount required to be repaid during 2025 was more than $3,000. • You took a deduction for the amount repaid on your 2025 federal income tax return.

14
Arizona Form 140 10 • You are entitled to take that net operating loss or capital loss carryover into account when computing your 2025 Arizona taxable income. • The amount of the loss carryover included in your federal income is more than the amount allowed to be taken into account for Arizona purposes.

NOTE: A dual licensee that elects to operate on a for-profit basis does not qualify for a subtraction for the medical marijuana portion of their business. If you are registered as an Arizona sole proprietorship with the Arizona Department of Health Services to operate in this state as a nonprofit medical marijuana dispensary, you are required to add the amount of the loss from the dispensary that is included in the computation of your federal adjusted gross income. Include the amount of the loss. NOTE: If the Arizona nonprofit medical marijuana dispensary is registered with the Arizona Department of Health Services as anything other than a sole proprietorship, this addition does not apply. In addition, a sole proprietorship of an Arizona dual licensee that has not elected to operate on a for-profit basis may subtract the portion of income included in federal adjusted gross income that is from the medical marijuana portion of the business. NOTE: A dual licensee that elects to operate on a for-profit basis does not qualify for a subtraction for the medical marijuana portion of their business. K. Federal Net Operating Loss (NOL) Carryforward from Non-Arizona Sources Accrued While a Nonresident An individual cannot include a federal NOL carryforward deduction incurred from non-Arizona sources while the taxpayer was an Arizona nonresident in the Arizona taxable income of a return filed for a taxable year in which the taxpayer is an Arizona resident. The taxpayer must make an addition to Arizona gross income on the full-year Arizona resident return for the amount of the NOL carryforward deduction included in the taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income. For more information, see the department’s ruling, ITR 13-5, Can a Net Operating Loss Incurred as a Non-Resident Be Used to Offset Income in a Year in Which the Taxpayer Is A Resident? NOTE: For a non-Arizona source loss incurred while the taxpayer was an Arizona nonresident, the taxpayer would not be allowed to amend a prior year resident Arizona income tax return to claim the NOL carry back deduction. L. Federal Capital Loss Carryforward Deduction Incurred from Non-Arizona Sources Prior to Arizona Residency NOTE: This addition is not related to small business income and should not be reported on Form 140-SBI. Make this addition on Form 140. An individual cannot include a capital loss carryforward deduction, incurred from non-Arizona sources while the taxpayer was an Arizona nonresident, in the Arizona taxable income of a return filed for a taxable year in which the taxpayer is an Arizona resident. Therefore, a capital loss incurred from non-Arizona sources while the taxpayer was an Arizona nonresident cannot be carried forward to a taxpayer's Arizona resident return when the loss carryover is reflected in the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. The taxpayer must make an addition to Arizona gross income on the full-year Arizona resident return for the amount of such capital loss carryforward deduction included in the computation of the taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income. For more information, see the department’s ruling, ITR 13-6, Can a Capital Loss Incurred as a Non-Resident Be Used to Offset Income in a Year in Which the Taxpayer Is A Resident? M.

N. Amortization or Depreciation for Child Care Facility You may need to make an addition for depreciation or amortization if you elected to amortize the cost of a child care facility under Arizona law in effect before 1990 and you are still deducting amortization or depreciation for that facility on your federal income tax return. O. Net Capital (Loss) from Exchange of One Kind of Legal Tender for another Kind of Legal Tender NOTE: If you elected to file the Arizona Small Business Income Tax Return, only claim the addition on this return if the net capital loss to which the addition relates was not moved to the Arizona Small Business Income Tax Return. To determine if you are required to make this addition to income, you must net all gains and (losses) from all exchanges of one kind of legal tender for another kind of legal tender, including amounts shown on Form 165 Schedule K-1, Form 120S Schedule K-1, and Form 141AZ Schedule K-1.

Enter the amount of interest income from U.S. Government obligations included as income on your federal return. U.S. Government obligations include obligations such as savings bonds and treasury bills. You cannot deduct any interest or other related expenses incurred to purchase or carry the obligations. If such expenses are included in your Arizona gross income, you must reduce the subtraction by such expenses. If you are itemizing deductions on your Arizona return, you must exclude such expenses from the amount deducted. NOTE: Do not subtract interest earned on Fannie Mae (FNMA) or Ginnie Mae (GNMA) bonds since this interest is taxable by Arizona. For details, see the department's ruling, ITR 06-1, Obligations of the United States Government, Federal Agencies, and United States Territories. Do not subtract any amount received from a qualified pension plan that invests in U.S. Government obligations.

Line 29a - Exclusion for U.S. Government, Arizona State or Local Government Pensions If you received pension income from any of the sources listed below, subtract the amount you received or $2,500, whichever is less. Include only the amount you reported as income on your federal return. If both you and your spouse receive such pension income, each spouse may subtract the amount received or $2,500, whichever is less. NOTE: Do not enter any subtraction for pension income received from retired or retainer pay of the Uniformed Services. The allowable subtraction for this pension type is entered on line 29b. Public pensions from the following sources qualify for this subtraction: • the United States Government Service Retirement and Disability Fund; 19
Arizona Form 140 15 • the United States Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System; • any other retirement system or plan established by federal law; NOTE: This applies only to those retirement plans authorized and enacted into the U.S. Code.

NOTE: Public retirement pensions from states other than Arizona do not qualify for this subtraction. Line 29b – Exclusion for Retired or Retainer Pay of the Uniformed Services of the United States If you received benefits, annuities and pensions as retired or retainer pay of the uniformed services of the United States, you may subtract 100% of the amount you received. If you are married and filing a joint return and both you and your spouse each received such income, each spouse may subtract 100% of the amount received. If you are the surviving spouse of a deceased military veteran, and are receiving payments from the uniformed services of the United States, you may exclude 100% of the payments you received. Line 30 - U.S. Social Security Benefits or Railroad Retirement Benefits Arizona does not tax the following: • Social security benefits received under Title II of the Social Security Act. • Railroad retirement benefits received from the Railroad Retirement Board under the Railroad Retirement Act, tier 1 or tier 2 railroad retirement benefits, railroad disability benefits reported on federal forms RRB-1099 and RRB-1099-R, railroad unemployment benefits and railroad sickness payments paid by the Railroad Retirement Board. For more information, see the department’s ruling, ITR 16-1, Railroad Retirement Benefits, Railroad Disability Benefits, Railroad Unemployment Benefits and Railroad Sickness Payments. If you included such social security or railroad retirement benefits as income on your federal return, use line 30 to subtract this income. NOTE: Enter only the taxable amount (the amount that was subject to federal income tax). Do not include any amount that was not subject to federal income tax on line 30. Line 31 - Certain Wages of American Indians Enrolled members of American Indian tribes may subtract wages earned while living and working on their tribe's reservation.

This includes pay received for weekend or two-week training periods. Enter the amount of that income included in your federal adjusted gross income. Military Technician (dual status) You may not subtract any income you received for full-time civil service employment as a “military technician (dual status).” Compensation received by a “military technician (dual status)” for federal civil service employment for the National Guard or for the United States Reserves, is not income received for active service as a National Guard member or a Reserve member even though the employee may be required to wear a military uniform while at work. For more information, see the department’s ruling, ITR 12-2, Compensation Received by a National Guard member or a member of the United States Reserves. NOTE: You may not subtract pay received for active duty service as a member of the U.S. Public Health Service or NOAA.

Line 33 - Net Operating Loss Adjustment If you are making the small business election and this subtraction is directly related to small business income reported on Form 140-SBI, do not report the subtraction on Form 140, enter the subtraction on Form 140-SBI. Arizona did not adopt the special federal net operating loss rules for losses incurred during 2008 or 2009. For Arizona purposes, you must deduct a net operating loss as if the loss was computed under IRC §172 in effect prior to the enactment of those special rules. If you made an election to deduct your 2008 or 2009 federal net operating loss under IRC § 172(b)(1)(H), you may have to enter an amount here. Figure how much of the net operating loss carry forward would have been allowed as a deduction on your 2025 federal income tax return, if the election described in IRC § 172(b)(1)(H) had not been made in the year of the loss. Enter the amount that exceeds the actual 20
Arizona Form 140 16 net operating loss carry forward that was deducted in arriving at federal adjusted gross income. NOTE: This subtraction applies to only those individuals who made an election under 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. Line 34 (Box 34a) - Contributions to 529 College Savings Plans You may subtract amounts you contributed directly to 529 college savings plans during the taxable year on behalf of the designated beneficiary to the extent that contributions were not deducted in computing federal adjusted gross income. You may subtract the amount you contributed during the year up to a total of $2,000 per beneficiary ($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 per beneficiary. If you contribute more than $2,000 per beneficiary ($4,000 if married) during the year, your total subtraction is limited to $2,000 per beneficiary ($4,000 if married). For example: Jorge and Kate are married and have two children. During 2025, Jorge and Kate contributed $5,000 to a 529 plan for Child 1 and $5,000 to a 529 plan for Child 2. Even though Jorge and Kate contributed a total of $10,000 during 2025, they may subtract only $8,000 on their 2025 joint tax return. You may take a subtraction for the following: • A contribution that you made during 2025 to a plan that existed before 2025. • A contribution that you made during 2025 to a plan established in another state. • A contribution that you made in 2025 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). Line 34 (Box 34b) - Contributions to 529A (ABLE Accounts) You may subtract amounts you contributed directly to a 529A, Achieving a Better Life Experience Account (ABLE), during the taxable year on behalf of the designated beneficiary to the extent that contributions were not deducted in computing federal adjusted gross income. You may subtract the amount you contributed during the year up to a total of $2,000 per beneficiary ($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 per beneficiary. If you contribute more than $2,000 per beneficiary ($4,000 if married) during the year, your total subtraction is still limited to $2,000 per beneficiary ($4,000 if married). See example under Line 34a. Line 34c Add the amounts in boxes 34a and 34b and enter the total on line 34c. Line 35 Subtract lines 24 through 34c from line 19. Enter the difference. Line 36 - Other Subtractions from Arizona Gross Income NOTE: If you are electing to report your small business income on Form 140-SBI and if any of the following “other subtractions” are directly related to the small business income, report that subtraction on Form 140-SBI. If the subtraction is not directly related to small business income, report the subtraction on Form 140. If you are not filing Form 140-SBI, take that subtraction on Form 140.
NOTE: If you are reporting adjustments on line 36, complete the schedule on page 6 of your tax return, Other Subtractions from Arizona Gross Income, and include it with your return. If are not reporting adjustment on line 36, do not include page 6 with your return. Use line 36 if any of the following special circumstances apply. Do not include on line 36 any amounts already excluded in the computation of your federal adjusted gross income. A. 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, and • 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 adjust your income, keep a schedule for your records of how you figured your adjustment. For more information, see the department’s publication, Pub. 200, Income Tax Issues Affecting Married and Divorced Taxpayers. B. Arizona Form 141AZ Schedule K-1 - Fiduciary Adjustment If you are making the small business election and this subtraction is directly related to small business income 21
Arizona Form 140 17 reported on Form 140-SBI, do not report the subtraction on Form 140, enter the subtraction on Form 140-SBI. A fiduciary uses Form 141AZ Schedule K-1 to report to you your share of the fiduciary adjustment from the estate or trust. 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 negative number, include that amount as an Other Subtraction on line 36. NOTE: If the amount reported on line 3 of your Arizona Form 141AZ Schedule K-1 is a positive number, enter that amount as an Other Addition on line 18. C. Federally Taxable Arizona Municipal Interest as Evidenced by Bonds Include the amount of any interest income received on obligations of the State of Arizona, or any political subdivisions of Arizona, as evidenced by bonds, that is included in your Arizona gross income. Do not enter any Arizona municipal interest that is exempt from federal taxation and not included in your federal adjusted gross income. For more information, see the department’s ruling, ITR 15-1, Arizona Municipal Interest that is Included in Federal Adjusted Gross Income. D. Adoption Expenses You may take this subtraction only in the year the final adoption order is granted. Include the lesser of the total of the following adoption expenses or $ 40,000. When figuring your subtraction, you may include expenses incurred in prior years. The following expenses are qualified adoption expenses: • unreimbursed medical and hospital costs; • adoption counseling; • legal and agency fees; and • other nonrecurring costs of adoption. If you are married and filing separately, you may take the entire subtraction or you may divide the subtraction with your spouse. However, the total subtraction taken by both you and your spouse cannot exceed $ 40,000. E. Qualified Wood Stove, Wood Fireplace, or Gas-Fired Fireplace You may take a subtraction for converting an existing fireplace to one of the following: • a qualified wood stove; • a qualified wood fireplace; or • a gas fired fireplace and non-optional equipment directly related to its operation. You may subtract up to $500 of the costs incurred for converting an existing fireplace on your property located in Arizona. When you figure your subtraction, do not include taxes, interest, or other finance charges. A qualified wood stove or a qualified wood fireplace is a residential wood heater that was manufactured on or after July 1, 1990, or sold at retail on or after July 1, 1992. The residential wood heater must also meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's July 1990 particulate emissions standards. A qualified gas fired fireplace is any device that burns natural or liquefied petroleum gas as its fuel through a burner system that is permanently installed in the fireplace. The conversion of an existing wood burning fireplace to noncombustible gas logs that are permanently installed in the fireplace also qualifies as a gas fired fireplace. F. Claim of Right Adjustment for Amounts Repaid in Prior Taxable Years NOTE: For taxpayers that made the election to file an Arizona Small Business Income Tax Return in 2025, if the income required to be paid back under the claim of right is the type of income that would be included in lines 4 through 9 of the 140-SBI return, the adjustment should be made in the 140-SBI return. All other claim of right adjustments should be made on the regular 140 return. You must make an entry here if all of the following apply: • During a year prior to 2025 you were required to repay amounts held under a claim of right. • You computed your tax for that prior year under Arizona's claim of right provisions. • A net operating loss or capital loss was established due to the repayment made in the prior year. • You are entitled to take that net operating loss or capital loss carryover into account when computing your 2025 Arizona taxable income. • The amount of the loss carryover allowed to be taken into account for Arizona purposes is more than the amount included in your federal income. Include the amount by which the loss carryover allowed for the taxable year under Arizona law is more than the amount included in your federal adjusted gross income. G. Certain Expenses Not Allowed for Federal Purposes (due to claiming federal tax credits) If you are making the small business election, do not take the subtraction here, take it on the 140-SBI tax return. You may subtract some expenses that you cannot deduct on your federal return when you claim certain federal tax credits. These federal tax credits include the following: • the Federal Work Opportunity Credit; • the Empowerment Zone Employment Credit; • the credit for employer-paid social security taxes on employee cash tips; and • the Indian Employment Credit. If you received any of the above federal tax credits for 2025, include the portion of wages or salaries you paid or incurred during the taxable year equal to the amount of those federal tax credits you received. H. Qualified State Tuition Program Distributions If you are a beneficiary of a qualified state tuition program, you may subtract some of the amount distributed from the program for qualified education expenses.

Arizona Department of Revenue PO Box 52138 Phoenix, AZ 85072-2138 Make Sure You Put Enough Postage on the Envelope The U.S. Post Office or United States mail service must postmark your return or extension request by midnight April 15, 2026. The term "United States mail" includes any private delivery service designated by the United States Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to IRC § 7502(f) and the term “postmark" includes any date recorded or marked by any such designated delivery service. An income tax return that is mailed to the department is timely filed if it is delivered on or before its due date. Additionally, if the envelope or wrapper containing the return sent through the United States mail bears a postmark of the United States mail and that tax return is delivered to the department after its due date that return will be considered timely filed if all of the following apply: 1. The return was deposited in an official depository of the United States mail; 2. The date of the postmark is no later than the due date; 3. The return was properly addressed; and 4. The return had proper postage. If the envelope or wrapper containing a return sent through the United States mail bears a private meter postmark made by other than the United States mail, the return is treated as timely filed if both of the following apply: 1. The private meter postmark bears a date on or before the due date for filing; and 35
Arizona Form 140 31 2. The return is received no later than the time it would ordinarily have been received from the same point of origin by the same class of U.S. postage. If the return is received by the department within five business days of the private meter postmark date, the department will consider the requirement satisfied. You may also use certain private delivery services designated by the IRS to meet the “timely mailing as timely filed” rule. For more information, see the department’s ruling, GTR 16-1, Timely Filing of Income or Withholding Tax Returns Through the United States Mail. 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 under report the income shown on that return by more than 25% (.25). The department can bring an action at any time if a return is false or fraudulent, or if you do not file a return. To find out more about what records you should keep, get federal Publication 552.

IMPORTANT If you elected to file the Arizona Small Business Income Tax Return (Form 140-SBI), only claim the subtraction on this return if the net capital gain to which the subtraction relates was not moved to the Arizona Small Business Income Tax Return. • If you cannot determine the acquisition date of an asset, including mutual funds, the long-term capital gain from that asset does not qualify for the allowable subtraction. For the purpose of the allowable subtraction, these assets are considered to have been acquired before January 1, 2012. • An asset acquired by gift or inheritance is considered acquired on the date it was acquired by gift-giver or the deceased individual. • If you receive Form(s) 165 Schedule K-1 from a partnership, 120S Schedule K-1 from an S Corporation, or 141AZ Schedule K-1 from an estate or trust, be sure to include those qualifying net long-term capital gain amounts in your computation. Do not include any short-term capital gains or (losses) in this worksheet. 37

2025 Form 140 Schedule A Itemized Deduction Adjustments For Full-Year Residents Only Before you complete Arizona Form 140 Schedule A, you must complete a federal Form 1040 Schedule A even if you do not itemize deductions on your 2025 federal return. You may itemize your deductions on your Arizona return even if you do not itemize on your federal return. For the most part, you can deduct those items that are allowable itemized deductions under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Use Form 140 Schedule A, Itemized Deduction Adjustments, to adjust the amount shown on the federal Schedule A. Complete Form 140 Schedule A only if you are making changes to the amount shown on the federal Schedule A. You must include the federal Form 1040 Schedule A with this form. General Instructions Arizona is a community property state. If you are married filing a separate return and claiming itemized deductions, see the department’s ruling, ITR 93-19, Deductions, Exemptions, and Credits for Married Taxpayers who file Separate Returns, for more information claiming itemized deductions. When married taxpayers file separate Arizona income tax returns, both filers must either claim the standard deduction or itemize deductions. One spouse may not claim a standard deduction when the other spouse itemizes deductions. If this situation does occur, the standard deduction will be disallowed, regardless of which return may have been filed first. The treatment of itemized deductions by spouses who file separate returns depends on whether the deductible expenses were paid with community funds or with separate funds. If the expenses were paid with community funds, the deduction is divided equally between each spouse. Expenses paid with separate funds are deductible by the spouse who paid the expenses. Under no circumstances may more than 100 percent of the allowable deductions be claimed. NOTE: If you or your spouse claim 100% of the allowable itemized deductions, the other spouse must enter “0” on Form 140, line 43, and that spouse cannot claim an adjustment for either itemized deductions or the standard deduction. You must complete Form 140 Schedule A only if any of the following items apply to you: 1. You are deducting medical and dental expenses. 2. You are claiming a federal credit (from federal Form 8396) for interest paid on mortgage credit certificates. 3. Your deductions claimed on the federal Schedule A include expenses related to income not subject to Arizona tax. 4. You are claiming an Arizona credit for any amount allowed as a charitable contribution or a state income tax deduction. If any of those items (1 through 4) apply to you, complete federal Form 1040 Schedule A, and then complete Form 140 Schedule A as instructed. Do not complete Form 140 Schedule A if those items do not apply to you. If you do not have to complete Form 140 Schedule A, enter the amount from federal Form 1040 Schedule A on Arizona Form 140, page 2, line 43. Line-by-Line Instructions Lines 1 through 4 - Medical and Dental Expenses Skip lines 1 through 4 if you are not deducting medical and dental expenses. In most cases, the deduction allowed on the Arizona return will be larger than the deduction allowed on the federal return. On your Arizona return, you do not have to reduce your medical expenses by a percentage of your federal adjusted gross income. In most cases, you may deduct more medical expenses on your Arizona return than you can deduct on your federal return. Complete lines 1 through 4 to deduct those expenses that were not allowed on federal return due to limitations. Line 1 Enter the total of your medical and dental expenses. Do not include any expenses that were paid by insurance or other sources. Do not include the following amounts you paid through an employer-sponsored health insurance plan (cafeteria plan) unless your employer included the amounts in Box 1 of your Form W-2. • Insurance premiums you paid through the plan. • Other medical and dental expenses paid by the plan. If you are self-employed, do not include any amount that you paid for health insurance that you deducted in computing your federal adjusted gross income. For details about what types of expenses you may deduct, see federal Form 1040 Schedule A. Lines 2 through 4 Complete lines 2 through 4 as instructed on the form. Line 5 - Interest Paid on Mortgage Credit Certificates Skip line 5 if you are not claiming a federal credit for interest paid on mortgage credit certificates on your federal return. If you claimed this credit on your federal return (using federal Form 8396), you may deduct the amount of mortgage interest you paid in 2025 that is equal to the amount of that credit. Enter the amount of that interest on line 5. Line 6 - Adjustments to Charitable Contributions Skip line 6a if you are not claiming an Arizona tax credit for any amount allowed as a charitable contribution. You cannot claim both a deduction and a credit for the same charitable contributions. Enter the amount of charitable contributions for which you are claiming a credit.

Form 140 Schedule A Itemized Deduction Adjustments
2 For Example: If you claimed a credit on AZ Form: For:
You must make an entry on line 6 if you deducted the amount contributed as an itemized deduction on federal Form 1040 Schedule A. 321 Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations 322 Contributions Made or Fees Paid to Public Schools 323 Contributions to Private School Tuition Organization 331 Donation of School Site 335-I Contributions made by an S Corporation to a School Tuition Organizations - Individual 340 Donations to the Military Family Relief Fund 341-I Contributions made by an S Corporation to a School Tuition Organization for Displaced Students or Students with Disabilities - Individual 348 Contributions to Certified School Tuition Organizations - Individual 352 Contributions to Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organizations If you claimed a credit on your 2024 return for a contribution that you made during 2025 (see Arizona Forms 321, 322, 323, 348, and 352), you must exclude this deduction on your 2025 return, because you claimed the credit on your 2024 return. If you are claiming a credit on your 2025 return for a contribution made during 2026 (see Arizona Forms 321, 322, 323, 348, and 352), you must exclude this deduction on your 2026 return, because you are claiming the credit on your 2025 return. Line 7 – Adjustment to State Income Taxes Arizona Revised Statutes § 43-1042 was amended to require taxpayers to reduce the amount of itemized deductions for amounts used to claim an Arizona credit, even if the amount was deducted on the federal return as taxes paid rather than as charitable contributions. Did you claim sales taxes rather than income taxes on your federal Schedule A? • If yes, stop. No adjustment is necessary. Go to line 8. • If no, complete the worksheet on page 2 of Form 140 Schedule A to determine the amount of your adjustment to enter on line 7. Line 8 - Other Adjustments You may not deduct any expense that relates to income not subject to Arizona tax. You must complete line 7 if your federal Schedule A includes such expenses. Such expenses include: 1. Interest or other related expenses incurred to purchase
or carry U.S. obligations, when the income is not
subject to Arizona tax. 2. State taxes paid to other states for prior years if you
were not an Arizona resident for that prior year. 3. Employee business expenses that relate to income not
subject to Arizona tax. This list is not complete. There may be other items included in your federal Schedule A that you cannot deduct on the Arizona return. Enter the amount of expenses deductible on federal Schedule A that are allocable to income that is not subject to Arizona income tax. Lines 9 through 14 - Adjusted Itemized Deductions Complete lines 9 through 14 as instructed on the form. Line 15 – Arizona Itemized Deductions Subtract line 14 from line 13 and enter the difference. If less than zero, enter “0”. Also, enter the amount on Form 140, page 2, line 43. NOTE: The amount entered on line 15 cannot be a negative number.

2025 Form 140 Schedule A Itemized Deduction Adjustments For Full-Year Residents Only Before you complete Arizona Form 140 Schedule A, you must complete a federal Form 1040 Schedule A even if you do not itemize deductions on your 2025 federal return. You may itemize your deductions on your Arizona return even if you do not itemize on your federal return. For the most part, you can deduct those items that are allowable itemized deductions under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Use Form 140 Schedule A, Itemized Deduction Adjustments, to adjust the amount shown on the federal Schedule A. Complete Form 140 Schedule A only if you are making changes to the amount shown on the federal Schedule A. You must include the federal Form 1040 Schedule A with this form. General Instructions Arizona is a community property state. If you are married filing a separate return and claiming itemized deductions, see the department’s ruling, ITR 93-19, Deductions, Exemptions, and Credits for Married Taxpayers who file Separate Returns, for more information claiming itemized deductions. When married taxpayers file separate Arizona income tax returns, both filers must either claim the standard deduction or itemize deductions. One spouse may not claim a standard deduction when the other spouse itemizes deductions. If this situation does occur, the standard deduction will be disallowed, regardless of which return may have been filed first. The treatment of itemized deductions by spouses who file separate returns depends on whether the deductible expenses were paid with community funds or with separate funds. If the expenses were paid with community funds, the deduction is divided equally between each spouse. Expenses paid with separate funds are deductible by the spouse who paid the expenses. Under no circumstances may more than 100 percent of the allowable deductions be claimed. NOTE: If you or your spouse claim 100% of the allowable itemized deductions, the other spouse must enter “0” on Form 140, line 43, and that spouse cannot claim an adjustment for either itemized deductions or the standard deduction. You must complete Form 140 Schedule A only if any of the following items apply to you: 1. You are deducting medical and dental expenses. 2. You are claiming a federal credit (from federal Form 8396) for interest paid on mortgage credit certificates. 3. Your deductions claimed on the federal Schedule A include expenses related to income not subject to Arizona tax. 4. You are claiming an Arizona credit for any amount allowed as a charitable contribution or a state income tax deduction. If any of those items (1 through 4) apply to you, complete federal Form 1040 Schedule A, and then complete Form 140 Schedule A as instructed. Do not complete Form 140 Schedule A if those items do not apply to you. If you do not have to complete Form 140 Schedule A, enter the amount from federal Form 1040 Schedule A on Arizona Form 140, page 2, line 43. Line-by-Line Instructions Lines 1 through 4 - Medical and Dental Expenses Skip lines 1 through 4 if you are not deducting medical and dental expenses. In most cases, the deduction allowed on the Arizona return will be larger than the deduction allowed on the federal return. On your Arizona return, you do not have to reduce your medical expenses by a percentage of your federal adjusted gross income. In most cases, you may deduct more medical expenses on your Arizona return than you can deduct on your federal return. Complete lines 1 through 4 to deduct those expenses that were not allowed on federal return due to limitations. Line 1 Enter the total of your medical and dental expenses. Do not include any expenses that were paid by insurance or other sources. Do not include the following amounts you paid through an employer-sponsored health insurance plan (cafeteria plan) unless your employer included the amounts in Box 1 of your Form W-2. • Insurance premiums you paid through the plan. • Other medical and dental expenses paid by the plan. If you are self-employed, do not include any amount that you paid for health insurance that you deducted in computing your federal adjusted gross income. For details about what types of expenses you may deduct, see federal Form 1040 Schedule A. Lines 2 through 4 Complete lines 2 through 4 as instructed on the form. Line 5 - Interest Paid on Mortgage Credit Certificates Skip line 5 if you are not claiming a federal credit for interest paid on mortgage credit certificates on your federal return. If you claimed this credit on your federal return (using federal Form 8396), you may deduct the amount of mortgage interest you paid in 2025 that is equal to the amount of that credit. Enter the amount of that interest on line 5. Line 6 - Adjustments to Charitable Contributions Skip line 6a if you are not claiming an Arizona tax credit for any amount allowed as a charitable contribution. You cannot claim both a deduction and a credit for the same charitable contributions. Enter the amount of charitable contributions for which you are claiming a credit.

If you are claiming a credit on your 2025 return for a contribution made during 2026 (see Arizona Forms 321, 322, 323, 348, and 352), you must exclude this deduction on your 2026 return, because you are claiming the credit on your 2025 return. Line 7 – Adjustment to State Income Taxes Arizona Revised Statutes § 43-1042 was amended to require taxpayers to reduce the amount of itemized deductions for amounts used to claim an Arizona credit, even if the amount was deducted on the federal return as taxes paid rather than as charitable contributions. Did you claim sales taxes rather than income taxes on your federal Schedule A? • If yes, stop. No adjustment is necessary. Go to line 8. • If no, complete the worksheet on page 2 of Form 140 Schedule A to determine the amount of your adjustment to enter on line 7. Line 8 - Other Adjustments You may not deduct any expense that relates to income not subject to Arizona tax. You must complete line 7 if your federal Schedule A includes such expenses. Such expenses include: 1. Interest or other related expenses incurred to purchase
or carry U.S. obligations, when the income is not
subject to Arizona tax. 2. State taxes paid to other states for prior years if you
were not an Arizona resident for that prior year. 3. Employee business expenses that relate to income not
subject to Arizona tax. This list is not complete. There may be other items included in your federal Schedule A that you cannot deduct on the Arizona return. Enter the amount of expenses deductible on federal Schedule A that are allocable to income that is not subject to Arizona income tax. Lines 9 through 14 - Adjusted Itemized Deductions Complete lines 9 through 14 as instructed on the form. Line 15 – Arizona Itemized Deductions Subtract line 14 from line 13 and enter the difference.

Completing Form 204 • Enter your name and SSN on the first line 1. • If filing a joint return with your spouse, enter your spouse’s name and SSN on the second line 1. • Enter your current address on lines 2 and 3. • Box 95: Select the filing status that you will use on Form 140, 140A, 140EZ, 140PTC, 140ET, 140NR or 140PY. • Box 94: enter your daytime phone (with area code). • Check which form this filing extension request is filed for. • Complete the rest of form following the directions on the form. If you are using Form 204 to request a filing extension for an Arizona Form 140NR composite return, enter the partnership or S Corporation’s employer identification number (EIN) in the area designated for an individual’s Social Security Number (SSN). Foreign Address If you have a foreign address, enter the information in the following order: city, province or state, and country. Follow the country’s practice for entering the postal code. Do not abbreviate the country name. When to File Form 204 All extension requests must be postmarked on or before the original due date of the return, unless the original due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday. In that case, your request must be postmarked on or before the business day following the weekend or legal holiday. Calendar year filers have until April 15, 2026 to file the request for an extension. This will allow you to file your return by October 15, 2026. Complete Form 204 to request an automatic 6-month extension. Write 2025 Extension Request on the front of your envelope. If you are including a payment with this request, mail the form to Arizona Department of Revenue
PO Box 29085 Phoenix, AZ 85038-9085 If you are not including a payment with your request, mail the form to Arizona Department of Revenue PO Box 52138 Phoenix, AZ 85072-2138 The department will not return a copy of the Form 204 to you. Be sure to keep a copy of the completed Form 204. An extension does not extend the time to pay your income tax. You must still pay your tax liability by April 15, 2026 or by the original due date of your return. If you do not pay at least 90% (.90) of the income tax liability disclosed by your return by the return’s original due date, you will be subject to the extension underpayment penalty. We charge interest from the original due date to the date of payment. Extension Underpayment Penalty: We impose this penalty if you do not pay at least 90% (.90) of the income tax liability shown on your return filed under an extension by the return’s 57
Arizona Form 204 2
original due date. The extension underpayment penalty is ½ of 1% (.005) of the income tax not paid for each 30-day period or fraction of a 30-day period. We impose this penalty from the original due date of the return until you pay the tax. The extension underpayment penalty cannot exceed 25% (.25) of the unpaid income tax. If we charge you the extension underpayment penalty, we will not charge you the late payment penalty under Arizona Revised Statutes § 42-1125(D). Nonresident Aliens 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, 2026 even though your federal return is due on June15, 2026. If you want to file your 2025 Arizona return after April 15, 2026 you must ask for a filing extension. Arizona will allow up to a 6-month extension. This will allow you to file your return by October 15, 2026. 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, 2026 even though your federal return will not be due until December 15, 2026. If you file your 2025 Arizona calendar year return after October 15, 2026 your return will be late. Making Your Payment Individuals may make extension payments by check, electronic check, money order, or credit card. Partnerships or S corporations making an extension payment on behalf of nonresidents participating in the filing of an Arizona Form 140NR composite return must make that payment by check or money order. Check or Money Order If paying by check or money order, make your check or money order payable to Arizona Department of Revenue. Write your SSN (or EIN) and 2025 Extension Request on the front of your check or money order. Include your check or money order with Form 204. Electronic Payment From Your Checking or Savings Account You can make an electronic payment from your checking or savings account to pay your balance due for 2025. There is no fee to use this method. To make an electronic payment, go to www.AZTaxes.gov and click on the “Make a Payment” link. Be sure to enter the correct routing number and account number for your checking or savings account. You will be charged a $50 NSF (non-sufficient funds) fee if you provide an incorrect routing number or an incorrect account number. Check with your financial institution to get the correct routing and account numbers. The “E-Check” option in the “Payment Method” drop-down box will debit the amount from the checking or savings account that you specify. If you make an electronic payment from your checking or savings account, you will receive a confirmation number. Please keep this confirmation number as proof of payment. NOTE: You may not make an electronic payment from your checking or savings account if the payment will ultimately be coming from a foreign account. In this case, you must pay by check or money order. Credit Card Payment You can pay with your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card. Go to www.AZTaxes.gov and click on the “Make a Payment” link and choose the credit card option. This will take you to a third party vendor site (provider). The provider will charge you a convenience fee based on the amount of your tax payment. The provider will tell you what the fee is during the transaction; you will have the option to continue or cancel the transaction. If you complete the credit card transaction, you will receive a confirmation number. Please keep this confirmation number as proof of payment. Instructions Before Mailing Make sure that you have completed all of the information requested on the front of the form. To avoid an extension underpayment penalty, make sure you pay at least 90% (.90) of your Arizona tax liability. 58

Check to make sure that calculations on your return are correct as a math error can cause delays in processing your return. • Double check spelling of names. Avoid using two different names. • Make sure that you legibly write your complete 9-digit Social Security Number (SSN) on your return. Without proper identification, the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) is unable to process the return. • Write clearly or use fillable forms. Handwriting can easily be mistaken and mis-typed into ADOR systems. • Enter your routing number or account number correctly in all appropriate boxes. You are responsible for this information. • Send payment with the correct return. Send the Arizona Department of Revenue payments with the state return to ADOR and the IRS payment with the federal return to the IRS. The IRS is the federal government entity and ADOR is the state government. The IRS will not process your state return for ADOR. IRS will likely process checks paid to ADOR into the federal account, but will not transfer to the state account. • If you are filing a joint return, enter the SSNs in the same order every year. SUBMITTING YOUR RETURN • Sign and date the return. • Do not staple any items to the return. • Make sure you use correct postage on the envelope. • Ensure all pages are sent in together as ADOR will not process partial returns. • Include your check or money order with your return. Please do not send cash. • Include a voucher with the payment if not sending it with the return. ADOR spends time researching and connecting the payment to an account if no return or voucher is included delaying the return process. • All envelopes should be addressed to Arizona Department of Revenue then add the PO Box for the area you wish to reach. • By law, ADOR must offset any refunds to certain government agencies that have a claim against you. If you received a letter informing you of the offset, please contact the agency listed in the letter. • Please allow 8-10 weeks for processing. Do not resubmit a return or submit an electronic payment if you mailed a paper check. • Payments are one of the last items to be processed. The postmark date is used to determine if income payments and returns are timely. Did You Know? When you use tax software all the hard work is done for you!
