This is the subtraction (page 14 of the AZ Instructions:(
C. Federally Taxable Arizona Municipal Interest as Evidenced by Bonds
Include the amount of any interest income received on
obligations of the State of Arizona, or any political subdivisions
of Arizona, as evidenced by bonds, and is included in your
Arizona gross income. Do not enter any Arizona municipal
interest that is exempt from federal taxation and not included in
your federal adjusted gross income.
"All of my municipal interest (tax-exempt) was not included in Federal AGI. " - do you mean that none of your municipal interest was in the Federal AGI? Was this interest from Arizona or elsewhere?
"This adjustment doesn't make any sense." - what doesn't make sense about it? Arizona does not tax interest from Arizona state or local subdivisions; however, frequently bonds from Arizona municipalities are tax-free at the federal level, so it makes no sense to deduct them again in Arizona when they aren't in federal income anyway.
Make sense? Or are you asking where the number listed under Subtractions came from?
If you are using the CD/download software, you can use Forms mode to look at the worksheets under Arizona to find the worksheet that describes where this subtraction comes from.
