Fiscal Year 2016 Annual Report Available

The Arizona Department of Revenue’s 2016 annual report, highlighting the agency’s accomplishments over the past fiscal year is available online.

Among the report highlight are:

Deployed the first phase of TPT reform to simplify how taxpayers register, file returns and make TPT payments via a central online portal, AZTaxes.gov and added a feature that allowed taxpayers to view their TPT rates by address or zip code online.
Reduced the customer call wait times when contacting the department for support
Sent out a record number of notifications for unclaimed property
Administered a tax recovery program that enabled individual and business taxpayers who fell behind on their tax payments to make good on their obligations while benefiting the state as a whole through investment of additional revenue in critical programs
Automated processes to identify fraudulent returns which reduced both the time required to adjudicate a tax return and process valid refunds owed to taxpayers
Modernized the Debt Set Off application to replace a nearly 20-year-old system that required substantial staff time to manually enter data
