- Conformity to IRC Each year the Arizona legislature considers whether to amend Arizona Revised Statutes § 43-105 to conform to changes made to the Internal Revenue Code during the prior year. On February 14, 2011, the Governor signed House Bill 2008 which conformed to the definition of federal adjusted gross income including federal changes made during 2010 and did not add any new non-conformity additions or subtractions. However, all of the additions and subtractions created for non-conformity purposes for 2009 as well as prior non-conformity adjustments for issues such as bonus depreciation or the increased § 179 expenses are still in place.
