The AZ program correctly brings the new Federal additional senior deduction from the Federal return to the AZ Form 140 - Other Subtractions from Arizona Gross Income form. However, it does so by just including it in the total on Line V without listing it separately on the Other Subtractions detail supporting schedule. So, in my case, the detail schedule of Other Subtractions shows only the one I entered for some nontaxable interest income of $2,082 while the Line V shows a total of $6,475 which is correct and includes the additional senior deduction of $4,393. Is this the way it is supposed to react? Seems to me this could raise issues at the state level since the supporting schedule does not agree with the schedule that it purports to support. I can work around this by handwriting the additional senior deduction on the supporting schedule, showing the total by hand and then filing my mail but that seems to defeat a major feature of the software by not being able to efile.
