Question

Parent as dependent

I file my father as a dependent, however I live in Texas (no state taxes) and he lives in Arizona. Would he need to file state taxes for Arizona?

Not A Product Question

Alumni - Champ

What type and amount of income does he have? If his non-Social Security income is more than $4,300, he cannot be your dependent.

Level 15

It depends on his gross income. In the state of Arizona, full-year resident or part-year resident individuals must file a tax return if they are:

Single, married filing separately or head of household and the Gross Income (GI) is at least $12,400;
Married and filing jointly and the GI is at least $24,800.
