Arizona Family Rebate Recipients
The IRS has determined the Arizona Families Tax Rebate sent to eligible taxpayers is subject to federal income tax and is required to be reported as part of the federal adjusted gross income. The rebate is not subject to Arizona income tax and should be subtracted from the federal adjusted gross income on the 2023 Arizona individual income tax return.

Affected taxpayers will be sent a statement by mail that they are to check the online portal to access their 1099-MISC which documents the rebate amount they received. The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) is required by federal law to issue this form to taxpayers as an informational statement since the income must be reported on the income tax return.

Taxpayers can also check their bank statement to confirm the amount received from ADOR for the Arizona Families Tax Rebate. The statement is not a bill, and individuals should not send any type of payment in response.

Effective January 31, ADOR is adding Form 1099-MISC to its online portal to search, download, and print 1099 forms through https://www.AZTaxes.gov.

Avoid Scams: The IRS urges taxpayers to be on the lookout for scam artists trying to use schemes to steal personal information and money. Remember, the IRS will not call , text you, email you or contact you on social media asking for personal or bank account information.
