Question
Arizona Other Subtractions

Answer

 Fiduciary Adjustment

A fiduciary uses Form 141AZ, Schedule K-1 to report to you your share of the fiduciary adjustment from the trust or estate. Line 3 of Form 141AZ, Schedule K-1 shows your share of the fiduciary adjustment from the estate or trust. If the amount reported on line 3 of your Arizona Form 141AZ, Schedule K- 1, is a negative number, enter that amount as a subtraction. Enter the subtraction on line 35.

If the amount reported on line 3 of your Arizona Form 141AZ, Schedule K-1, is a positive number, enter that amount as an addition. Enter the addition on line 16.

Federally Taxable Arizona Municipal Interest as Evidenced by Bonds

Enter the amount of any interest income received on obligations of the State of Arizona, or any political subdivisions of Arizona, as evidenced by bonds, and 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.

Adoption Expenses

You may take this subtraction only in the year the final adoption order is granted. Enter the lesser of the total of the following adoption expenses or $3,000. When figuring your subtraction, you may include expenses incurred in prior years.

The following expenses are qualified adoption expenses.

1. Nonreimbursed medical and hospital costs

2. Adoption counseling

3. Legal and agency fees

4. Other nonrecurring costs of adoption

If 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 $3,000.

Qualified Wood Stove, Wood Fireplace, or Gas Fired Fireplace

Arizona law provides a subtraction for converting an existing fireplace to one of the following.

-a qualified wood stove

-a qualified wood fireplace

-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.

Claim of Right Adjustment for Amounts Repaid in Prior Taxable Years

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

1. During a year prior to 2021 you were required to repay amounts held under a claim of right.

2. You computed your tax for that prior year under Arizona's claim of right provisions.

3. A net operating loss or capital loss was established due to the repayment made in the prior year.

4. You are entitled to take that net operating loss or capital loss carryover into account when computing your 2021 Arizona taxable income.

5. 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.

Enter 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.

Certain Expenses Not Allowed for Federal Purposes

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

-The Indian employment credit

If you received any of the above federal tax credits for 2021, enter 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.

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. Enter the amount of the distribution that you had to include in your federal adjusted gross income. A qualified state tuition program is a program that meets the requirements of IRC § 529.

Subtraction for World War II Victims

You may subtract distributions made to you for your persecution or the persecution of your ancestors by Nazi Germany or any other Axis regime for racial, religious or political reasons. If you are the first recipient of such distributions, enter the amount of the distributions that you had to include in your federal adjusted gross income.

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

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

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

1. The income from the sale is subject to Arizona income tax in 2021; and

2. You paid income tax to another state on that income in a prior tax year.

Enter the amount of such income that you included in your Arizona gross income for 2021.

Do not enter any amount that is subject to tax by both Arizona and another state in 2021. In this case, you may be eligible for a tax credit. See AZ Form 309 for details.

Agricultural Crops Given to Arizona Charities

Arizona law allows a subtraction for qualified crop gifts made during 2021 to one or more charitable organizations. To take this subtraction, all of the following must apply.

1. You must be engaged in the business of farming or processing agricultural crops.

2. The crop must be grown in Arizona.

3. You made your gift to a charitable organization located in Arizona that is exempt from Arizona income tax.

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

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

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

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

If you are registered as an Arizona sole proprietorship with the Arizona Department of Health Services to operate in this state as a nonprofit medical marijuana dispensary, you may subtract the amount of the income from the dispensary that is included in the computation of your federal adjusted gross income. Include the amount of the income on line 35.

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 subtraction does not apply.

Long-Term Care Insurance Premiums

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

You may take this subtraction only if you are not claiming itemized deductions for the taxable year.   Include the allowable subtraction on line 35.

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