ELECTRONIC FILING www.arkansas.gov/efile  E-file is hassle-free both your federal and Arkansas income tax returns can be filed electronically in one transmission.
 E-file is smart computer programs catch 98% of tax return errors.
 E-file is worry-free receive acknowledgement within 2 to 3 business days if your return has been received and accepted.
Arkansas participates in the Federal/State Electronic Filing Program for Individual Income Tax. The program is available to most full year residents and certain qualifying nonresidents and part year residents.
Since Arkansas is a member of the "Free File Alliance," depending on the level of income, taxpayers may qualify to file returns for free. (Go to www.arkansas. gov/efile for details.) The State of Arkansas is requesting additional information this filing season in an effort to combat identity tax fraud and ensure that your hard-earned tax refund goes to you. Providing information from your driver's license or state-issued identification card will help protect your identity and could help process your return quicker.
However, this is only a request. Information from your driver's license is not required, and your return will be processed without the additional information. The information is being requested solely to help protect your identity and ensure a more-secure refund.

# IDENTITY THEFT

In recent years, identity theft associated with income tax returns has become an increasingly severe problem.
Sometimes thieves steal a taxpayer's Social Security Number and other private information then use this information to file tax returns and receive refunds that were not due to them.
If you believe your identity may have been used to file an Arkansas state tax return, these are the steps we suggest you take:
 Contact us at (501) 682-1100 to report that your identity may have been stolen and request a hold on your account to stop all fraudulent refunds.
 Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at (800) 908-4490 and inform them that your identity was stolen and may have been used to file a fraudulent tax return. You should complete IRS Form 14039, an identity theft affidavit, to support your claim.
 Send a copy of the stamped IRS identity theft affidavit form to: Arkansas Individual Income Tax, PO
Box 3628, Little Rock, AR 72203-3628
 Contact the credit bureaus to ensure there have not been any other thefts related to your identity, and ask to have a fraud alert put on your credit report. The numbers for the credit bureaus are listed below:
● Equifax - (800) 525-6285 ● Experian - (888) 397-3742 ● Trans-Union - (800) 680-7289

# SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR TAX YEAR 2025

Changes to AR1000F and AR1000NR Withholding will now be reported on separate lines. Line 39A will be where W-2 withholding is reported. Line 39B will be where 1099/K-1 withholding is reported.
Individual Income Tax Rate Reduction (Act 1 of the Second Extraordinary Session of 2024) Marginal Income Tax rates for 2025 are 3.9%, as amended in 2024.

# Pass-Through Entity Tax

If you are a member of an entity that participates in Pass-Through Entity Tax, include all income from the PET return on the individual return. Use the AR-OI form to back out the income or losses reported on the Pass-Through level. Do not include the amount of tax paid on your behalf as withholding.
Additional Tax Credit for Qualified Individuals (Act 1 of the Second Extraordinary Session of 2021) Allows an individual taxpayer having a net income up to $27,600 who timely files a tax return, an additional tax credit.
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED CREDIT (Act 191 of the General Session of 2023) Eliminated the requirement for re-certification of a developmental disability that is expected to continue indefinitely. The form AR1000RC5 has been changed to AR1000-DD. The only change to the form, other than the name, is where it can be claimed on your return. If claiming this credit, you are required to use the AR1000TC form, complete line 7, and enter the child(ren)'s name(s) and social security number(s) on the form (7A-7F- one child per line). If this is the first time you use this credit, attach the AR1000-DD and the AR1000TC to your return. If your AR1000RC5 was valid on January 1, 2022, you will not be required to submit the AR1000-DD. This credit is permanent and no longer requires a renewal every five (5) years; however, you must submit the AR1000TC yearly. The credit will follow the child (no matter who the caretaker is) and can only be claimed on one tax return per year.
Remote Work (Act 1019 of the General Session of 2021) A nonresident who is paid a salary, lump sum payment, or any other form of payment for work inside and outside Arkansas is only taxed on the amount of income while physically located inside Arkansas. For remote workers who perform all of their duties from outside Arkansas, no income would be taxed. If duties performed are a combination of inside and outside Arkansas, only the portion that reasonably can be allocated to work performed in Arkansas is taxable.
Teacher and Retired Teacher Death Benefits (Act 171 of the General Session of 2023) Among other issues addressed, Act 171 allows teacher and retired teacher death benefits from the Arkansas Teacher Retirement system to be distributed to multiple beneficiaries if requested or to the estate if no beneficiaries are named or survive to receive benefits. Such death benefits are exempt from Arkansas income taxes if a lump sum distribution.

IF THE IRS AUDITS YOU
If the Internal Revenue Service examines your return for any tax year and changes your net taxable income, you must report the changes to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration within one hundred eighty (180) days from the receipt of the notice and demand for payment by the Internal Revenue Service.
File an Amended Individual Income Tax Return for the year(s) involved reporting the changes to your state return. Attach a copy of the federal changes.
If you fail to notify this Department within one hundred eighty (180) days and do not file the required amended return, the Statute of Limitations will remain open for three (3) years on the year(s) in question. Additional interest will be figured on any tax you owe the State of Arkansas.

# INFORMATION EXCHANGE PROGRAMS WITH THE IRS

Under authorization of Internal Revenue Code Section 6103(D) the State of Arkansas participates in several information exchange programs with the Internal Revenue Service:
 CP2000: The IRS matches income reported on a taxpayer's federal income tax return with documents (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) provided to the IRS by the payer to determine whether income was omitted from the taxpayer's return. If unreported income is discovered, the IRS assesses additional federal tax on the omitted income then notifies the State of Arkansas.
The taxpayer's state tax return is then reviewed for unreported income. (Some examples of commonly omitted income include wages, pensions, and cancellation of debt.)  Examination Operational Automation Database "EOAD": When the IRS adjusts a taxpayer's federal income tax return as the result of an audit, details are provided to the State of Arkansas. The taxpayer's state tax return is then reviewed and adjusted if appropriate. (Some examples of EOAD adjustments include disallowance of deductions, expenses, or dependents and assessment of early withdrawal penalties.)  Non-filer Identification: The IRS provides the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration with a list of taxpayers who filed federal returns using Arkansas addresses. This information is then compared with Arkansas income tax records to identify individuals who filed federal returns using Arkansas addresses but did not file Arkansas returns.
Letters are sent inquiring whether the taxpayer is required to file. The taxpayer should file the return in question or provide documentation why he/she is not required to file. If a sufficient response is not received, state tax is assessed using amounts reported on the taxpayer's federal return, and the taxpayer is mailed a Notice of Proposed Assessment.

# PRESERVATION OF TAX RECORDS

A taxpayer who files an Arkansas income tax return is required to retain records to prove the accuracy of that return. The records must be retained for at least six (6) years (unless otherwise provided by law) and are subject to examination by the Director at any reasonable time during that period.
When a taxpayer fails to preserve and maintain the required records, the Director may make an estimated assessment based upon any available information as to the amount of tax due by the taxpayer. Per ACA 26-18-506, the burden of proof of refuting this estimated assessment is upon the taxpayer.

# REQUEST FOR COPIES OF ARKANSAS TAX RETURNS

If your tax return was completed by a paid tax preparer, he/she should be able to provide a copy of the return. If you used a software product to prepare your tax return, you should be able to print a copy of the tax return from the software used.

Otherwise to request a copy of your Arkansas tax return, please complete and submit Form AR4506. Form AR4506 is included in this book and can also be downloaded from our website at: https://www.dfa.arkansas.gov/office/taxes/income-taxadministration/individual-income-tax/forms/

# MILITARY PERSONNEL

Active-Duty Military
Under federal law, a military servicemember's state of legal residence does not change solely as the result of the servicemember's assignment for service in another state. An Arkansas resident who enters into military service will remain an Arkansas resident unless they officially change their state of legal residence as described in DD Form 2058. Military servicemembers who are Arkansas residents are subject to the same income tax filing requirements as other Arkansas residents, even if they are serving in another state. These requirements are described under the heading "Who Must File A Tax Return".
Military Pay Exemption (Act 1408 of 2013):
Provides a 100% exemption from income tax for service pay or allowance received by an active-duty member of the armed forces for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Active duty includes all armed forces members, including the National Guard and Reserve Units. You must file to claim the exemption.
Military Spouses Residency Relief Act:
Exempts a military spouse's income from Arkansas tax if the servicemember's Home of Record is not Arkansas and the spouse's domicile is the same as the service member's Home of Record. Effective January 1, 2009. Please check the box on the tax return "Military Spouse" and attach a completed Form AR-MS (available at: https://www.dfa.arkansas.gov/office/taxes/income-tax-administration/individual-income-tax/forms/) and a copy of the service member's W-2 or Leave and Earning Statement (LES) to verify Home of Record. (For future tax purposes, the nonmilitary spouse must submit a new payroll withholding form, ARW-4MS. to his/her employer each year to exempt future withholding.) The Military Family Tax Relief Act of 2003 (Act 372 of 2009):
This act adopts IRC 121, 134, and 162 as in effect on January 1, 2009. Provisions of this act include exclusion of gain on sale of principal residence, deduction of overnight travel expenses for National Guard and Reserve members, and exclusion from income of "qualified military benefits".
Military Retirement Exemption (Act 141 of 2017):
Beginning with tax year 2018, retirement benefits received by a member of the uniformed services as defined in this Act are exempted from income tax. Retirees cannot claim the $6,000 exemption for traditional or employer sponsored distributions if their military retirement exemption exceeds $6,000. If the military retirement exemption is less than $6,000, the remaining amount of the exemption may be taken for traditional or employee sponsored distributions. Please see instructions for lines 18A and 18B for details.
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act:
Deferral of Tax - Upon notice to the Internal Revenue Service or the tax authority of a state or a political subdivision of a state, the collection of income tax on the income of a servicemember falling due before or during military service shall be deferred for a period not more than one hundred and eighty (180) days after termination of or release from military service, if a service member's ability to pay such income tax is materially affected by military service.
Accrual of Interest or Penalty - No interest or penalty shall accrue for the period of deferment by reason of nonpayment on any amount of tax-deferred under this section.
Statute of Limitations - The running of a statute of limitations against the collection of tax deferred under this section, by seizure or otherwise, shall be suspended for the period of military service of the servicemember and for an additional period of two hundred and seventy (270) days thereafter.
Residence or Domicile - A servicemember shall neither lose nor acquire a residence or domicile for purposes of taxation with respect to the person, personal property, or income of the servicemember by reason of being absent or present in any tax jurisdiction of the United States solely in compliance with military orders.
Military Service Compensation - Compensation of a servicemember for military service shall not be deemed to be income for services performed or from sources within a tax jurisdiction of the United States if the servicemember is not a resident or domiciliary of the jurisdiction in which the servicemember is serving in compliance with military orders.

RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL
Extension of Time for Veterans (Retirees) to File for Refund (Act 238 of 2009):
This act extends the statute of limitations for a veteran to file a claim for refund of an overpayment that results from retroactive determination by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs that part or all of the uniformed service retirement payments to the taxpayer are payments made for a service-connected disability and are not included in gross income. Effective January 1, 2001.

However, active-duty military compensation is exempt from Arkansas tax beginning in tax year 2014. (If you are stationed in Arkansas and your Home of Record is another state, Arkansas does not tax your U.S. active-duty military compensation.) U.S. active-duty military compensation includes wages received by members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserve Units.

# DEPENDENTS

The term "dependent" does not apply to anyone who is a citizen or subject of a foreign country UNLESS that person is a resident of Mexico or Canada.
If your child/stepchild was under age 19 at the end of the year, the $5,200 gross income limitation does not apply. Your child/stepchild may have earned any amount of income and still be your dependent if the other dependency requirements in this section were met.
If your child/stepchild was a student under age 24 at the end of the calendar year, the $5,200 gross income limitation does not apply. The other requirements in this section must be met.
To qualify as a student, your child/stepchild must have been a full-time student for five (5) months during the calendar year at a qualified school, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
If your dependent died during the tax year, you may claim the full amount of tax credit for the dependent on your tax return regardless of when the death occurred during the year.

Direct deposits will not be deposited into accounts outside the United States; this includes Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands.
The State of Arkansas is not responsible for the misapplication of a direct deposit that results from error, negligence or malfeasance on the part of the taxpayer, the provider or preparer, financial institution or any of their agents.

Refunds that are not direct deposited because of Institutional refusal, erroneous account or routing transit numbers, closed accounts, bank mergers or any other reason are issued as paper checks.
While the State of Arkansas ordinarily processes a request for direct deposit, it reserves the right to issue a paper check and does not guarantee a specific date for deposit of the refund into the taxpayer's account. Please also verify you are using your mailing address on your return, in the event we do have to mail out a paper check.

# PENALTIES & INTEREST

You must mail your tax return by April 15, 2026. Any return not postmarked by April 15, 2026 (unless you have an extension) will be delinquent. A penalty of one percent (1%) per month for failure to pay and five percent (5%) per month for failure to file, up to a maximum of thirty-five percent (35%), will be assessed on the amount of tax due on an original return. Interest of ten percent (10%) per year will also be assessed on any additional tax due, calculated from the original due date to the date you paid the tax due on an original or amended return.
An extension to file is not an extension to pay. If you have not paid the amount due by the original due date you will be subject to a failure to pay penalty of one percent (1%) per month of the unpaid balance.
In addition to any other penalties assessed, a penalty of $500 will be assessed, if any taxpayer files what appears to be a return, but the return does not contain information on which the correctness of the return may be judged, and such conduct is due to a position which is frivolous or an effort to delay or impede the administration of any State law.

If you purchased taxable merchandise outside the State of Arkansas for use, storage, consumption or distribution within the state, a state and local consumer use tax may be due on the purchase price, including transportation charges. Due to the rapid increase in purchases being made through mail order, telephone, and the Internet, it has become a concern that individuals may not be aware of their obligation to report the consumer use tax on untaxed out of state purchases. Examples of merchandise subject to the consumer use tax include cassettes, CD's, books, furniture, jewelry, food, and clothing.
The use tax is a companion tax to the sales tax whose purpose is to not only raise revenue for the state, but more importantly to protect local merchants, who must collect sales tax, from the unfair advantage of out of state sellers who do not collect Arkansas's sales tax. The use tax has been in effect since 1949.
The use tax rate is the same as the sales tax rate, 6.50% for all transactions except food purchases which has a reduced rate of 0.125% plus the applicable city and/or county rates where the merchandise is delivered in the state. The tax applies to the purchase price of the merchandise plus any shipping and handling charges that the merchant adds to your bill. If the total tax due is greater than $100 per month, the use tax report should be filed on a monthly basis. If the total tax due is $25 - $100 per month, the use tax report should be filed on a quarterly basis. If the total tax due is less than $25 per month, the use tax report should be filed on an annual basis.

STATE OF ARKANSAS

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION

YOUR RIGHTS AS A TAXPAYER
You have the right to a full explanation of all actions by any employee of the Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration both during an audit and during collection activities.

  • All tax information contained in the records and files of the Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration (hereinafter "Secretary") pertaining to you or your business is confidential subject to exceptions in Ark. Code Ann. § 26-18-303.
  • You may represent yourself in any proceeding or interview before the Secretary or you may be represented by anyone whom you authorize in writing to be your representative.
  • You have the right to consult with a lawyer, accountant, or other representative at any time during an interview with an employee of the Secretary. The Secretary shall suspend the interview to allow you to consult with your representative.
  • You may record any interview with the Secretary or his or her employee at your expense. You should let the Secretary or his or her employee know in advance of your intention to record the interview. The Secretary may likewise record an interview, and a copy may be obtained within a reasonable time at your expense.
  • You may protest a proposed assessment of tax by filing a petition with the Tax Appeals Commission ("Commission"). You must file your petition in writing no later than 90 days from the date the Department issues a proposed assessment. The petition may be heard in-person, by teleconference, by videoconference, by any combination of those means, or solely upon the documents filed with the Commission. If you do not file a petition with the Commission, you may still pursue judicial remedies by filing an action in circuit court.
  • A decision of the Commission has the same effect and shall be enforced in the same manner as a decision of a circuit court, unless judicial review of the decision is pending. After the issuance of the Notice of Final Assessment or the final decision of the Commission, you may seek judicial relief by following the procedures stated in the Arkansas Tax Procedure Act and appealing the tax assessment to circuit court. To pursue your appeal of a tax assessment to circuit court, you must do one of the following:

(1) File suit within 180 days of the date of the Notice of Final Assessment or final decision of the Commission if the taxpayer does not make any payment of the tax, penalty, or interest due;
(2) Pay the entire amount of tax due within one year of the date of the Notice of Final Assessment or final decision of the Commission and file suit within one year of the date of payment; or
(3) File suit within one year of the date of the final decision of the Commission to recover assessed tax, penalty, and interest paid prior to the time for issuance of the Notice of Final Assessment.

  • A taxpayer may file an amended return or a verified claim for credit or refund of an overpayment of any state tax within three years from the date the return was filed or two years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. Any amended return or claim for refund should be filed with the office of the Revenue Division which administers the type of tax in question. The ability to file an amended return is not available to a taxpayer whose liability was determined as a result of an audit by the Department.
  • If the Secretary disallows the refund claim either in whole or in part, the Secretary will issue a Notice of Claim Denial. You may protest the Notice of Claim Denial by filing a petition with the Commission. This protest must be filed with the Commission within 90 days from the date the Department issues the Notice of Claim Denial.
  • Following the final decision of the Commission, you may seek judicial relief from the Notice of Claim Denial by appealing the decision to circuit court. Judicial review is available whether or not you filed a petition with the Commission. To pursue your appeal to circuit court, you must file suit within one year of the date of the mailing of the Notice of Claim Denial or the final determination of the Commission.
  • Any taxpayer who wishes to file a petition to protest a proposed assessment or refund claim denial should file the petition in writing to:

# Tax Appeals Commission

Mail: 900 West Capitol Avenue, Suite 310, Little Rock AR 72201
Online: ig.arkansas.gov/tax-appeals-commission/

  • In administering the state tax laws, the Secretary is authorized by law to make an examination or investigation of the business, books, and records of the taxpayer. If the Secretary determines that an additional amount of tax is due, then a Notice of Proposed Assessment shall be issued to the taxpayer. The taxpayer may seek relief from the Notice of Proposed Assessment as outlined above. If the taxpayer fails to preserve and maintain records suitable to determine the amount of tax due or to prove accuracy of any return, the Secretary may make an estimated assessment based upon the best information available as to the amount of tax due by the taxpayer.
  • The Secretary may issue a jeopardy assessment against any taxpayer (1) whose tax liability exceeds any bond on file indemnifying the state for the payment of a state tax, (2) who intends to leave the State, remove his or her property, or conceal himself or herself or his or her property, (3) who intends to discontinue his or her business without making adequate provisions for payment of state taxes, or (4) who does any other act tending to prejudice or jeopardize the Secretary's ability to compute, assess, or collect any state tax. Any taxpayer seeking relief from a jeopardy assessment must file a petition with the Commission within five days from the receipt of the jeopardy assessment.
  • When collecting any state tax due from a taxpayer, the Secretary is authorized to file a Certificate of Indebtedness (state tax lien) with the circuit clerk of any county of this state certifying that the person named therein is indebted to the state for the amount of tax due as established by the Secretary. The Certificate of Indebtedness shall have the same force and effect as the entry of a judgment rendered by a circuit court and shall constitute a lien upon the title of any real and personal property of the taxpayer in the county where the Certificate of Indebtedness is recorded.
  • After the filing of the Certificate of Indebtedness, the Secretary may take all steps authorized by law for the collection of the tax, including the issuance of a writ of execution, garnishment, and cancellation of any state tax permits or registrations.
  • Any court costs or sheriff's fees which result from the Secretary's attempt to collect delinquent taxes shall be collected from the taxpayer in addition to the tax, interest, and penalties included in the Certificate of Indebtedness.
