Are AZ auto regiatration fees (based on value of vehicles) deductable on AZ return if you don't itemize?

I know they are not on federal with standartd deduction but I thought they were on state level.

    See HERE  although you cannot take the vehicle registration fees as a deduction for federal tax purposes if you take the standard deduction, you can nethertheless claim it for the state of Arizona. Arizona does not specifically have a state tax adjustment for deductible registration fees. In that case, I would enter it on the state input as follows,When entering your state input for Arizona, when you get to this screen

     

    hit yes

    Enter the description and amount

    The 25.00 deduction will flow seamlessly to Form 140  line 36 like this

     

    which comes from the Other Subtractions Worksheet (140) from here

     

    This should work well for you. Good luck!

    After reviewing the Arizona Individual Income Tax Instruction Booklet and the itemized deductions page, there does not seem to be any deduction allowed for auto registration fees even if using itemized deductions on your state return.

     

    If you would like to take a closer look, use the following link to download the instruction booklet and take a look at the itemized deduction form on page 31 of the PDF document.
