By claiming this credit, taxpayers can avoid double taxation on their income.

Eligibility requirements for Arizona tax form 322

To complete and submit the 322 Arizona tax form, you must satisfy the following conditions:

• An income tax return has been filed in Arizona;
• State income tax has been paid to another state on the same income being reported in Arizona;
• The income that was taxed by the other state is also subject to Arizona state tax;
• The credit claimed relates only to income earned or received during the tax year in question.

Filling Out Form 322 Arizona: Step-by-Step

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fill out form 322 for Arizona:

1. Provide Your Basic Information: At the top of the form, you will need to enter your name, address, and social security number. If filing a joint tax return, make sure to include your spouse's name and social security number as well.
2. Identify the Other State: In Part I, you will need to specify the state you paid income tax to, the amount of income subject to tax in that state, and the percentage of your Arizona adjusted gross income that the out-of-state income represents.
3. Calculate Credit Limits: In Part II of this Arizona form, you will be required to enter your Arizona tax liability before credits and calculate the maximum allowable credit. To do so, multiply the percentage of your out-of-state income in relation to your total adjusted gross income (determined in Part I) by your Arizona tax liability.
4. Determine the Total Amount of Credit: In Part III, enter the amount of tax that was paid to the other state. Compare this amount with the maximum credit you calculated in Part II.
