State tax filing

“Non-Arizona municipal interest” is interest income you have received from municipal bonds issued by cities or municipalities outside the State of Arizona.

TurboTax asks this question because while interest from municipal bonds is generally tax-free at the federal level, each state may or may not tax it. In the case of Arizona, the state taxes the interest income from municipal bonds of cities and municipalities outside the State.

If you don’t own any municipal bonds, just enter zero and continue. 

For more information on municipal bond interest in Arizona, see Arizona Department of Revenue FAQ under Taxable Income (in the pulldown menu).
