I am a Native American do I have to file Arizona state taxes?

I'm unsure of this because people from my tribe did not file Arizona state taxes but I think I did last year. I do not want to make any mistakes please help me out.

I am a Native American do I have to file Arizona state taxes?

Native Americans living and working on a reservation are allowed to exempt their (reservation) W-2 wages from Arizona state taxation, under Arizona state law. TurboTax supports this exemption, and here are the instructions to enter.

  • Finish your federal tax return, as your reservation wages are still taxable by the federal government
  • Begin your Arizona state tax return 
  • When you reach the screen with a list of items that has the title "Do These Apply to You?"   check the one that is labeled "I Have Adjustments to Federal Income."
  • Continue until you reach  "Any Income Adjustments"
  •  Scroll down and select  "I Am a Native America Who Earned Wages While Living and Working on a Reservation"
  • Click Continue and on the very next screen you should have the option to enter the dollar amount of your wages that are eligible for the Arizona exclusion
