Key Points:
- Gov. Katie Hobbs rejects Department of Revenue’s tax filing advice
- State tax forms filed today may require amended returns for Arizonans
- Arizona tax policy remains unsettled amid tax season
Gov. Katie Hobbs is disavowing new advice from the Department of Revenue about when best to start filing state taxes.
The governor said this past week that the forms she ordered the agency to produce back in November “should work for all Arizonans that are filing.”
“And they should feel confident filing and having certainty that they will be OK,” Hobbs said.
That’s a direct contradiction of what agency employees told members of the Senate Finance Committee this past week. They said that a third of Arizonans — about a million tax filers — could be required to file amended returns if they use the current forms.
