State tax filing

You are being asked this because as of 2013, Arizona does not permit bonus that has been taken on the federal return. You can read a thoroughly detailed description here.

 

As the link states, you have to add back any federal bonus depreciation and then subtract the Arizona depreciation that is calculated without the bonus.

 

So what do you enter? 

  1. Do you know how much depreciation was taken on the federal return on Arizona-only assets? Enter that in the first box.
  2. Can you recalculate what the depreciation on that Arizona asset would have been had no bonus deprecation been applied? Enter that in the second box.

So, IF this Arizona assets was the only asset you had on your Arizona return, then enter $1,233. And if you took no bonus depreciation on the federal return, then enter $1,233. in the second box. Clear?
