Key Points:
- Arizona Department of Revenue questioned for urging taxpayers to file now
- Lawmakers have yet to decide on tax deductions and credits
- Arizona taxpayers may face a $20 million cost to reprocess a million returns
The head of the Senate Finance Committee says the Arizona Department of Revenue is misleading Arizonans by urging them to file their state taxes before legislators have reached consensus on federal tax conformity.
And Sen. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, wants the agency to revise that advice.
In an extensive hearing on Jan. 26, Mesnard grilled agency employees about last week’s advisory telling Arizonans to not delay in filing their taxes.
