The Arizona 140X form is utilized for filing an amended individual income tax return for those who have previously submitted a tax return to the Arizona Department of Revenue and need to make corrections or changes to that submission.
This form can be used by residents, part-year residents, and nonresidents who need to amend their taxes for various reasons, including changes to income, deductions, credits, or filing status.
It's important to verify the correct tax year on the form to ensure that the amendment is applied to the appropriate year, with spaces provided for entering both the beginning and end dates of the fiscal year if not filing on a calendar year basis.
Filers need to clearly indicate their filing and residency status, such as single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, etc., along with residency status such as resident, nonresident, or part-year resident.
Any changes to exemptions for age, blindness, dependents, or qualifying parents or ancestors must be correctly reported on the form, including adjustments to the number of exemptions previously claimed.
Income adjustments, additions, or subtractions must be clearly detailed in the respective sections to accurately reflect changes to the federal adjusted gross income and Arizona gross income, as these will affect the overall tax calculation.
Individuals must accurately report any changes to deductions, whether itemized or standard, and personal exemptions, as these will directly impact the calculation of taxable income for Arizona state taxes.
Any corrections to credits claimed, such as those for taxes paid to other states or credits for specific Arizona tax incentives, must be carefully itemized and supported by the appropriate documentation or forms.
If the amended return results from a federal amendment or IRS audit, copies of the amended federal return, IRS audit report, and all supporting documentation should be attached to the Arizona 140X form.
For individuals claiming new credits or adjusting previously claimed credits, detailed information regarding the type of credit and the corrected amounts must be provided in the designated sections of the form.
Payments and refundable credits, including withholding, estimated payments, and any payments made with the original return, should be accurately reported to determine if there is a balance due or a refund owed as a result of the amendment.
All filers must sign and date the form, indicating under penalty of perjury that the information provided is true, correct, and complete. If a paid preparer is used, their information must also be included.
