Taxpayers can file now and schedule payments up until the deadline.

The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) reminds monthly transaction privilege tax filers that returns are due.

Avoid the worry and hassle of mailing your return by using AZTaxes.gov, which is available at night and weekends. Our online filing and paying service is free, fast and easy — allowing payments to be scheduled up until the second to last business day.

To be in compliance with state law, you must file a return by its due date, even if there is no tax due for the filing period.

Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) will be sending renewal letters to businesses next month to renew their 2019 Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. Every business licensed with ADOR is required to renew their Arizona TPT license, which is due January 1, 2019.

Before renewing, ADOR encourages TPT taxpayers to update and verify their account information to prevent unnecessary fees and penalties. AZTaxes.gov enables registered businesses to update their accounts, but they must have an e-signature PIN to make changes.

The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) reminds individual income and corporate taxpayers who received a tax filing extension and have not yet filed that the deadline to submit returns is October 15.

More than 211,000 individuals and 62,000 corporations received a six month extension to file for the 2017 tax year.

ADOR advises individual income taxpayers to double check their returns to ensure there is no missing information and recommends filing electronically, which is more secure, accurate and faster than paper returns.

For taxable years 2018 and after:

• Tax exempt organizations will no longer need to file either the Arizona Form 99 or copies of their federal Form 990.
• Tax exempt organizations that file a federal Form 990-T to report unrelated business taxable income are still required to file Arizona Form 99T.
• Nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries will be required to file Arizona Form 99M instead of Arizona Form 99.

Note: This change does not impact returns for prior years that were required to be filed in 2018.  

For the purpose of claiming Arizona’s tax credit for contributions made or certain fees paid to a public school, the Arizona Department of Revenue now requires taxpayers report the school’s County Code, Type Code, and District Code & Site Number (CTDS) number on Form 322, which is included with the Arizona income tax return.

The CTDS is a nine (9) digit number that the Arizona Department of Education uses to identify Arizona public and charter schools.

Effective in 2018, the Arizona Department of Revenue has assigned a five (5) digit code number to identify each Qualifying Charitable Organization and Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization for Arizona tax credit purposes on Form 321 and Form 352, which is included with the Arizona income tax return. Taxpayers must use the “QCO Code” or “QFCO Code” of certified organizations to claim the tax credits for contributions QCOs or QFCOs.
