Question
Arizona Other Additions

Answer

Pension Adjustments
Use this adjustment if both of the following apply.
1. Arizona taxed your pension for years before 1979.
2. You reported that pension on your federal return using the percentage exclusion method.

Do not use this adjustment if either of the following apply.
1. You reported your pension income as fully taxable on your federal return.
2. You reported your pension income on your federal return under the "three-year-rule".

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.
  • 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 have to adjust your income, attach a schedule showing how you figured your adjustment.

Partnership Income
Use this adjustment if your Arizona Form 165, Schedule K-1, shows a difference between federal and state distributable income. If the difference reported on your Arizona Form 165, Schedule K-1, is a positive number, enter that difference as an addition. Enter the addition on line B12. If the difference reported on your Arizona Form 165, Schedule K-1, is a negative number, enter that difference as a subtraction. Enter the subtraction on line C29.

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 positive number, enter that amount as an addition. Enter the addition on line B12. 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 C29.

Net Operating Losses
Arizona does not have specific net operating loss provisions for individual taxpayers. Arizona conforms to the federal net operating loss provisions, including the carryback provisions. Generally, the amount of net operating loss deduction included in your federal adjusted gross income is the amount allowable for Arizona purposes. However, there are instances when the amount allowable for Arizona purposes may be different. You must adjust the amount of net operating loss deduction included in your federal adjusted gross income if you have already deducted any amount of the net operating loss included in your federal adjusted gross income for Arizona purposes. Enter on line B12, the amount of net operating loss included in your federal adjusted gross income which you previously deducted for Arizona purposes. For information on deducting a net operating loss carryback, see Arizona Department of Revenue Income Tax Procedure ITP 99-1.

Items Previously Deducted for Arizona Purposes
Arizona statutes prohibit a taxpayer from deducting items more than once. However, under the operation of former Arizona law (1989 and prior), you could deduct certain items in greater amounts for Arizona purposes than for federal purposes. Investment interest and passive activity losses were such items. In some cases, you could have deducted such amounts in their entirety on the Arizona return. For federal purposes
