Do I have to pay Arizona state income tax?

Generally, you have to file an Arizona state income tax return if you’re a resident, part-year resident or nonresident. Full-year and part-year residents must file if their gross income is above:

Filing status	Arizona gross income
Single	$14,600.
Married, filing jointly	$29,200.
Married, filing separately	$14,600.

Note: Arizona gross income equals your federal gross income minus interest from government bonds, Social Security retirement benefits, Railroad Retirement Act benefits, active duty military pay and pay for service in the National Guard.

The rules for nonresidents are a bit trickier. The Arizona Department of Revenue has more guidance in the Form 140NR instructions.

Am I a resident for Arizona state income tax purposes?

There are three types of residency statuses when it comes to Arizona state income tax. They determine what portion of your income the state will tax.

Types of residency statuses in Arizona

If your Arizona residency type is...	Arizona taxes this part of your income.
Resident	All income from all sources inside and outside Arizona.
Part-year resident	All income received while a resident, plus income from Arizona sources while a nonresident.
Nonresident	Income from Arizona sources.

Resident status rules

In general, you’re a resident of Arizona for tax purposes if your primary, permanent home is there or you spent more than nine months there during the tax year. Arizona residents file Form 140, 140A or 140EZ. The Arizona Department of Revenue has a detailed breakdown of which form you should use based on criteria such as your income, if you plan to itemize, and whether you’ll claim estimated payments.

You can also read all the rules for how Arizona determines residency status.

Part-year resident status rules

Generally, you’re a part-year resident of Arizona if you were a nonresident for some of the tax year. This is often the case for people who moved to Arizona from another state.

If you’re a part-year resident, you typically pay Arizona state tax on all income you received during the part of the tax year you were a resident of Arizona, plus state income tax on income just from Arizona sources while you were a nonresident. Part-year residents file Form 140PY.

Services performed in Arizona.
Rent from real estate you own in Arizona.
The sale or transfer of real estate in Arizona.
Income from an Arizona business, trade or profession.
