As taxpayers gear up for the 2024 tax filing season, the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) provides essential information about the Arizona Families Tax Rebate. This rebate, received by qualifying taxpayers, is subject to federal income tax, as concluded by the IRS.
Arizona Families Tax Rebate Details
According to the 2021 tax returns, qualified taxpayers are eligible for a $250 refund for each dependent under the age of 17 and a $100 refund for each dependent aged 17 or above.
Regardless of age, taxpayers are limited to claiming a maximum of three dependents, resulting in a maximum rebate of $750.
Federal Adjusted Gross Income
The rebate must be recorded as part of the federal adjusted gross income and is subject to federal income tax. However, it’s important to note that the rebate is not subject to Arizona income tax.
