Tax help for military filers

Please be aware if your military income is your only income then you are not required to file an Arizona tax return (Pub 704).

 

If you have other Arizona income and are required to file (see Pub 704 for filing thresholds) then your military pay will automatically deducted.

 

Please ensure that you are indicated in TurboTax that you are military, otherwise it will not work:

  • The first is in the "My Info" section after you enter your name and occupation. You can click on "My Info" on the left and click on "Edit" next to your name. Scroll down to "I am a member or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces (active, reserve or National Guard)." Turbo Tax will ask follow-up questions.
  • The second is on the "Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2?" screen after you enter your W-2, you can check the active-duty military box for the W-2.
