I live in New Mexico but work in Arizona, how do I file my taxes?

You will have to file:

  • a nonresident return for Arizona; and
  • a resident return for New Mexico.

You are subject to Arizona income tax on all income derived from Arizona sources. Since you work in AZ you have to file a return there.

Because you live in New Mexico, you have to file a return there.  However, NM gives a credit for taxes paid to other states by New Mexico residents.

IMPORTANT:  Prepare your nonresident state (AZ) first so that the taxes paid to AZ flow properly to the NM return to calculate the credit.
