Arizona return, ADOR

These are typical paths, not a filing determination. Elections, ownership, residency and where you earn income can change what you file; your consultation confirms it.
Filing in Arizona: what's different
The rules that most often change an Arizona return, checked against Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) guidance on 27 October 2026.
One flat rate on taxable income
Arizona taxes individual income at a flat 2.5% for 2025. The return starts from federal adjusted gross income, then applies Arizona additions, subtractions and deductions.
Residents whose Arizona gross income exceeds $75,000, or $150,000 for joint filers, this year and next generally make estimated payments.
Which Arizona return?
- Form 140
- Full-year residents. The shorter 140A or 140EZ fit some residents with taxable income under $50,000.
- Form 140PY
- Part-year residents who moved into or out of Arizona during the year.
- Form 140NR
- Nonresidents, including nonresident aliens, with Arizona-source income.
Moved and also had Arizona income while a nonresident? File Form 140PY for the entire year, covering both periods.
Key dates for calendar-year filers
Mar 15
Partnerships and S corporations file Form 165 or Form 120S, and make the pass-through entity election on that return if they choose to pay tax at the entity level.
Apr 15
Individuals file Form 140, 140PY or 140NR, or extend with Form 204 or a federal extension. C corporations file Form 120.
Sep 15
Extended partnership and S corporation returns are due, six months after the original date.
Oct 15
Extended individual returns are due. Check box 82F on page 1 of the return.
Nov 15
Extended C corporation returns are due. Arizona allows up to seven months.
A date that falls on a weekend or legal holiday moves to the next business day. Extensions cover filing only; businesses must pay at least 90% of the tax by the original due date.
Starts from your federal AGI
Form 140 begins with federal adjusted gross income on line 12, so your Arizona return is prepared after your 1040. Forms 140PY and 140NR carry it on line 25.
Pass-through entity election
Partnerships and S corporations can elect on Form 165 or 120S to pay Arizona tax at 2.5% on income of individual, estate and trust owners. Eligible owners can opt out of the election.
Transaction privilege tax
Arizona's sales tax is a tax on the seller. The state rate on retail sales is 5.6%, counties and cities add their own, and a state license costs $12 per location. We confirm your registrations during scoping.

Accounts or assets outside the US?
US taxpayers with foreign bank accounts, investments or non-US funds can have three separate reporting duties: the FBAR, Form 8938 and Form 8621 for PFICs. Each has its own rules, and filing one doesn't satisfy another.

A PFIC is a foreign corporation with at least 75% passive income or at least 50% passive assets. Many mutual funds and ETFs registered outside the US, including Indian mutual funds, can qualify, so we check each holding. Form 8938 thresholds are higher if you live abroad.

Know the fee before you commit
A consultation has a fixed price. Filing and bookkeeping are quoted for your situation, because a single W-2 return and a multi-owner S corp are different jobs.

Questions about filing in Arizona
Something specific to your situation? Ask a US CPA in a 30-minute consultation.
Can Savetaxs prepare both my federal and Arizona returns?
Yes. We prepare federal returns for individuals and businesses together with the matching Arizona returns: Form 140, 140A, 140EZ, 140PY or 140NR for individuals, and Forms 165, 120S or 120 for businesses. Your consultation confirms which returns apply to you.
The work is done online, by video or phone, with documents shared through an encrypted upload.
Do I need to file Form 204 to extend my Arizona return?
Not if you have a federal extension. ADOR accepts federal Form 4868: file your Arizona return by the same extended date, October 15, and check box 82F on page 1. Otherwise, file Arizona Form 204 by April 15.
Either way, the extension covers filing only. Tax due should be paid by April 15 to avoid interest and late-payment penalties.
I moved to or from Arizona this year. Which form do I file?
Part-year residents file Form 140PY, reporting all income from the part of the year they lived in Arizona plus any Arizona-source income from the nonresident part. If you had Arizona income while a nonresident, Form 140PY covers the entire year. Other states may need their own returns, and we map each one during scoping.
Does my single-member LLC file its own Arizona income tax return?
No. A single-member LLC that is disregarded for federal purposes is treated as part of its owner, so it files no Form 165 and its income goes on the owner's return. Arizona LLCs also don't file annual reports with the Arizona Corporation Commission; only corporations do. The LLC may still need a TPT license if it sells taxable goods or services.
What is Arizona's pass-through entity election?
A partnership or S corporation can elect to pay Arizona income tax at 2.5% on the income of its individual, estate and trust owners. The election is made on Form 165 or Form 120S, and each eligible owner can opt out. Owners that are not individuals, estates or trusts cannot take part.
An entity that doesn't elect may instead file a composite Form 140NR for its nonresident owners.
How is pricing determined?
A consultation with a US CPA starts at $59. Filing is priced per return, based on forms and schedules, the number of states, your entity type and the condition of your records. Bookkeeping is priced on monthly volume. You see the fee before you proceed.
I have bank accounts or mutual funds outside the US. What do I need to file?
Possibly one or more of three forms. The FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) applies when your foreign financial accounts total more than $10,000 at any time in the year, and it is filed with FinCEN, not with your tax return. Form 8938 has higher thresholds and is attached to your income tax return. Filing one does not replace the other.
If you own shares in a non-US mutual fund or other passive foreign investment company (PFIC), Form 8621 may also be required for each fund. See our foreign asset reporting service.
