We know you’re eager for your refund, and we want to help you get it as quickly as possible. To prevent processing delays, the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) advises taxpayers to familiarize themselves with the most common issues when filing individual income tax returns.
- Tax Credit Codes: Public School, Qualifying Charity, or School Tuition Organization should be valid (certified or qualified) and include the code.
- Updated Contact Information: If your name or address changed, it needs to be updated in our system. Submit Form 822 to make changes; for a name change include a copy of a photo ID with the form to verify the new name and a copy of the marriage license or divorce decree.
- Dependent and Spouse Information: Enter all dependent information (if checking the qualifying dependent box) or spouse information (if filing married filed joint or married filed separately); SSN, relationships, amounts, and applicable checkboxes.
- File Only Once Per SSN: A return can only be filed once for a Social Security Number (SSN) per year, which means if an individual filed as married filing jointly, they cannot also file as married filing separately or head of household. If you think you are the victim of tax-related identity theft, notify the Arizona Department of Revenue Identity Theft Call Center.
- Summary Amount Match: The amount entered as a total must match the summary amount. Ensure the amount you reconcile onto Form 301, Part 1 and Part 2, or Schedules matches the amount of the corresponding form.
- Calculation Review: Check adjustments, deduction amounts, income amounts, percentages, and other calculations equal the correct amount.
