ABC Taxes, Tips & Tools

AZ tax­pay­ers beware.  On April 27, 2010 after the fil­ing dead­line with­out exten­sions passed, the Ari­zona leg­is­la­ture decided not to con­form to all the tax law changes made by the Fed­eral gov­ern­ment in 2009.  Areas of non con­for­mity are:

If you claimed any of these spe­cial deduc­tions or fol­lowed these spe­cial rules when you timely filed your AZ taxes for 2009, you need to file an amended Ari­zona tax return and pay more tax.  For­tu­nately for most tax­pay­ers the Ari­zona Depart­ment of Rev­enue (AZ DOR) has released a spe­cial tax form to deal with indi­vid­ual tax­payer non­con­for­mity issues OTHER THAN NOL non­con­for­mity.  This tax form is lim­ited only to indi­vid­ual tax form non­con­for­mity issues which makes it sim­pler to com­plete.  If a tax­payer com­pletes the new tax form and pays all the tax due by Octo­ber 17, 2011 the tax­payer will not owe any addi­tional tax. 

 The fol­low­ing are links to the new form and instruc­tions:

You will need Adobe Acro­bat Reader ver­sion 7 or higher to view and print the form and instruc­tions. Adobe Acro­bat reader can be down­loaded for free from the Adobe.com web­site.  Note: ABC LLC is not afil­i­ated with the AZ DOR or Adobe.com.  These links will take you to their web­sites and you will be sub­ject to their poli­cies.  We do not know what their poli­cies are.
