    Arizona Form 140A is the resident tax return short form.  It can only be used if your income is less than $50,000 and you don't have any adjustments.  It is 3 pages long, so it doesn't sound like what printed out.  Without know what the questions are or what the form actually is, it's hard to say for sure whether you should ignore it.

    thank you for responding. 

     

    it says page  2 of 2 on bottom but questions look like this: 

     

    2024 Form 140 Schedule A
    Adjustment to State Income Taxes


    Arizona Revised Statutes § 43-1042 was amended to require taxpayers to reduce the amount
    of itemized deductions for amounts used to claim an Arizona credit even if the amount
    was deducted on the federal return as state income taxes paid rather than as charitable
    contributions.


    If you claimed income taxes on your federal 1040 Schedule A, complete the following worksheet to determine the amount
    of your adjustment to enter on page 1, line 7.


    1A Total state income taxes on the federal Schedule A before applying the federal
    limitations. .................................................................................................................................... 1A 00
    2A Amount included in the line 1A for which you claimed an Arizona credit. .................... 2A 00
    3A Subtract line 2A from line 1A. Enter the difference. ......................................................... 3A 00
    4A Limit from federal Schedule A. Enter $10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separate). ... 4A 00
    5A Enter the smaller of line 3A or 4A. ......................................................................................... 5A 00
    6A Enter total state income taxes claimed on federal Schedule A (after limitation). ....... 6A 00
    7A Subtract line 5A from line 6A. This is the amount of your Arizona adjustment.
    Enter the amount on page 1, line 7. ...................................................................................... 7A 00

    Based upon the numbers provided, you may not have a filing requirement in Arizona.  For 2024, individuals are required to file an income tax return if their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is more than $14,600 if single or filing separately, $29,200 if filing jointly, or $21,900 is filing as Head of Household.  If your income is below these limits, then you would not need to file an Arizona return.

     

    However, since Arizona reports income in the same manner as your federal return, if your AGI on your federal return exceeds these amounts based upon your filing status, you would have a filing requirement in the state.

     

    Make sure you go through the state interview section to generate the Arizona return.  Please see how do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal for more details on completing your state return.
