Arizona tax rules to know
Key points from our 2026 Arizona data, compiled from the official sources listed at the end of this page:
- Flat 2.5% rate on Arizona taxable income for all filing statuses (in effect since tax year 2023).
- HB 4168 (signed June 13, 2026) conformed Arizona to the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act: statutory standard deduction base amounts are $15,750 single/MFS, $23,625 head of household, $31,500 MFJ (retroactive to tax year 2025), and A.R.S. 43-1041(H) indexes them 'in the same manner' as the federal basic standard deduction. The 2026 values shown ($16,100 / $32,200 / $24,150) equal the 2026 federal amounts; ADOR had not yet published a separate 2026 figure when this was compiled (medium confidence).
- Beginning 2026, a taxpayer who takes the standard deduction may increase it by charitable contributions, capped at $1,000 (single/MFS) or $2,000 (MFJ); this replaces the old percentage-based charitable add-on.
- Under HB 4168, Arizona subtracts federal qualified tips (IRC 224), qualified overtime (IRC 225) and the $6,000 enhanced senior deduction starting 2025 (car-loan interest for 2025 only), subject to the federal limits and phase-outs.
- Itemizers: state and local tax (SALT) deduction limited to $10,000 for tax years beginning in 2026.
- Dependent tax credit (not an exemption): $125 per dependent under 17 (raised from $100 for 2026 by HB 4168) and $25 per dependent 17 or older; reduced by 5% for each $1,000 (or fraction) of federal AGI above $200,000 (single/HOH/MFS) or $400,000 (MFJ).
- Arizona also allows separate exemptions for taxpayers 65 or older, blind taxpayers and qualifying parents/ancestors; Social Security is exempt.
Local income tax: none. Cities and counties in Arizona do not levy their own income tax in our 2026 data.
