Notice
As a rule, the starting point for your Arizona return is your federal adjusted gross income. To take
itemized deductions, you must start with the amount shown on the federal Schedule A. This is the
case for 2024, except for changes Congress made to the federal tax code during 2024, and the
following applies:

1. The changes affect how you figure your federal adjusted gross income.
AND/OR
2. The changes affect how you figure your itemized deductions.
When federal changes are made, the Arizona legislature must adopt those changes if the Arizona
starting points are kept the same. The legislature will address this issue when it is in session during
2025. The Arizona Department of Revenue must publish these forms before this issue is addressed
by the legislature. When ADOR went to print, Arizona had not yet adopted any federal tax law changes
made after January 1, 2024.
What does this mean to you? It means that if any of the federal law changes made after
January 1, 2024 apply to your 2024 return, you can opt to file your 2024 return using one of
the following methods:

1. You can wait and file your 2024 return after this issue has been addressed.
To do this, you may need to ask for a filing extension. You must pay 90% of the tax due by the
due date of the return before any extension.

2. You can file your 2024 return, assuming that the federal law changes will be adopted. The 2024
tax forms make these assumptions.
If you opt for method 2, one of the following will apply:
• If Arizona adopts those changes, you do not have to do anything more.
• If Arizona does not adopt all federal changes, you may need to amend your 2024 Arizona
return. Your amended return will have to show the difference between the Arizona law and
the federal law. If this happens, we will post more details on our Conformity web page at
https://azdor.gov/legal-research/conformity-irc.
• Generally, no penalties or interest will be assessed on these amended returns if you follow
the Department’s instructions and pay any tax due when you file your original 2024 return,
and you file and pay the required amended return by the extended due date of your 2025
return.

3. You can file your 2024 return, assuming that we will not adopt the federal law changes. If you opt
for this method, you will have to do the following:
•
•
•

You will have to research all of the federal changes made after January 1, 2024.
You will have to figure out if any of those changes apply to you.
You will have to figure out how to make adjustments for those changes on your return.

If you opt for method 3, one of the following will apply:
• If Arizona does not adopt those changes, you do not have to do anything more.
• If Arizona adopts those changes, you may need to amend your 2024 Arizona return. Your
amended return will have to show the difference between what you reported and what you
should have reported. If this happens, we will post more details on our Conformity web page
at https://azdor.gov/legal-research/conformity-irc.

Beginning with tax year 2021, full-year resident individuals
may elect to report their small business income on Arizona
Form 140-SBI, Small Business Income, for the small business
income amount included in their federal adjusted gross income.
An individual’s small business income is reported on federal
Schedules B, C, D, E, F and Form 4797 (for amounts not
included on Schedule D).
Additional information and guidance can be found in the
department’s Publication 712, Summary of Arizona Small
Business Income and Taxation.

How do I elect to report Small Business
Income on Arizona Form 140-SBI?

Taxpayers make the election by simply completing
Form 140-SBI reporting their small business income and
including the completed form with their Arizona Form 140,
Resident Personal Income Tax Return, when filed. If you do not
timely file Form 140-SBI with your Form 140, your election
will be denied and the subtraction on your Form 140 will be
disallowed.

Arizona Form 140-SBI

Form 140. If you are not making the election, do not check
box 13S or enter an amount on line 13 on Form 140.

Form 140, it will also apply to Form 140-SBI. Do not file a
separate extension request for Form 140-SBI.

NOTE: You must include Form 140-SBI with your Form 140,
when filed. If you do not include Form 140-SBI with your
Form 140, processing of you return may be delayed or your

would have used. The person who files the return should print
the word "deceased" after the decedent's name and enter the

is considered timely if filed or paid on the next business day and
that business day is a day other than Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday.

Late Payment Penalty

If you pay your small business income tax liability late, we will
charge you interest and penalties on the amount you owe. If the
U.S. Post Office postmarks your 2024 calendar year return by
April 15, 2025, your return will not be late. You may also use
certain private delivery services designated by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) to meet the “timely mailing as timely
filed” rule. For more information, see “Mailing Your Return”
at the end of these instructions.

When Should You File?
NOTE: Your small business income tax return (Form 140-SBI)

Form 140-SBI timely, your election will be denied and the
subtraction on your Form 140 will be disallowed.

Late Filing Penalty

You must file Form 140-SBI timely along with your Form 140
by the original due date (including valid extensions). If you file
Form 140-SBI late, your small business election will be denied
and the return rejected. In addition, the subtraction on
Form 140 return will be disallowed. In this case, no late filing
penalty will be assessed on your small business income tax
return. However, the late filing penalty may still be assessed on
your Form 140 return if it was filed late.
If you file your Form 140 late, we will charge you a late filing
penalty on your Form 140. This penalty is 4½% (.045) of the
tax required to be shown on the return for each month or

Your small business tax return’s due date is the same as the due
date for your Form 140. Your 2024 calendar year small business
tax return is due no later than midnight, April 15, 2025. File
your return as soon as you can after January 1, 2025, but no later

of the fourth month following the close of your fiscal tax year.

you will not be able to file on time. If you request an extension

Apply for a state extension (Arizona Form 204). To apply
for a state extension, file Form 204 by April 15, 2024. See
Form 204 for details. You do not have to include a copy of
the extension with your return when you file, but make sure
that you check box 82F (above your name) on page 1 of
the return. If you must make an extension payment for
your small business income tax return, use Arizona
Form 204-SBI, or visit www.AZTaxes.gov to make an
electronic payment.

Arizona return by the same due date. You do not have to
include a copy of your federal extension with your return,
but make sure that you check box 82F (above your name)
on page 1 of the return.

Arizona Form 140-SBI
If you amend your federal return changing amounts

Form 4797 for any year, you must also file an Arizona
Form 140X-SBI and 140X for that year.

fraction of a month the return is late. This penalty cannot exceed
25% (.25) of the tax found to be remaining due.

Late Payment Penalty
If you pay your tax late, we will charge you a late payment
penalty. This penalty is ½ of 1% (.005) of the amount shown as
tax for each month or fraction of a month for which the failure
continues. We charge this penalty from the original due date of
the return until the date you pay the tax. This penalty cannot
exceed a total of 10% (.10) of the unpaid tax.

If the IRS makes a change to your federal taxable income for
any year, you must report that change to Arizona. You must file
Form 140X-SBI and 140X within 90 days of the final
determination of the IRS. You may use one of the following
two options to report this change.

Option 1

Underpayment of Estimated Tax Penalty

You may file Forms 140X-SBI and 140X for that year. If you
choose this option, you must amend and mail your Arizona
returns within 90 days of the final determination of the IRS.
Include a complete copy of the federal notice with your
Forms 140X-SBI and 140X.

If an individual who fails to make the required small business
income estimated tax payments is subject to penalty on any
estimated tax payment that is late or underpaid. See Form 221-SBI
for more information.

Extension Underpayment Penalty

Option 2

If you file your return under an extension, you must pay 90%
(.90) of the tax shown on your return by the return's original due
date. If you do not pay this amount, we will charge you a
penalty. This penalty is ½ of 1% (.005) of the tax not paid for
each 30-day period or a fraction of a 30-day period. We charge
this penalty from the original due date of the return until the
date you pay the tax. This penalty cannot exceed 25% (.25) of
the unpaid tax. If we charge you the extension underpayment
penalty, we will not charge you the late payment penalty under
Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 42-1125(D).

You may file a copy of the final federal notice with the
department within 90 days of the final determination of the IRS.
If you choose this option, you must include a statement in which
you must:
1. Request that the department recompute your tax on
Forms 140-SBI and 140; and
2. Indicate if you agree or disagree with the federal notice.
If you do not agree with the federal notice, you must also
include any documents that show why you do not agree. If you
choose Option 2, mail the federal notice and any other
documents to:

Interest
We charge interest on any tax not paid by the due date. We will

tax credits). Taxpayers must pay 90% of current or 100% of
last year’s tax liability. The 100% of last year exception only
applies if a taxpayer filed a small business income tax return in
the prior year.

also include an identification number where requested. A paid
preparer may use any of the following:

under IRC §172 in effect prior to the enactment of those special
rules. If you made an election to deduct your 2008 or 2009
federal net operating loss under IRC § 172(b)(1)(H), you may

depreciation is 55% (.55) of the amount of federal bonus
depreciation pursuant to IRC § 168(k).
For assets placed in service in taxable years beginning from
and after December 31, 2016, enter the total amount of
depreciation allowable pursuant to IRC § 167(a) for the taxable
year, calculated as if the bonus depreciation had been the full
amount allowed federally pursuant to IRC § 168(k).

NOTE: This subtraction applies to only those individuals who
made an election under the special federal net operating loss
rules for 2008 and 2009. Under the special rules for 2008 and
2009, you could have elected to carry the net operating loss
back for 3, 4 or 5 years, instead of the normal 2 years. This
election would have been allowed under IRC § 172(b)(1)(H) as
amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 or the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance
Act of 2009.

Enter the amount of interest income from U.S. Government
obligations included as income on your federal return. U.S.

other related expenses incurred to purchase or carry the
obligations. If such expenses are included in your Arizona gross
income, you must reduce the subtraction by such expenses.

The subtraction is the larger of the wholesale market price or
the most recent sale price for the contributed crop. The amount
of the subtraction cannot include any amount deducted pursuant
to IRC § 170 with respect to crop contribution that exceeds the
