Turbo tax is telling me the standard deduction for Arizona state income tax is $5431. Shouldn't the standard deduction be $29,200? Why the discrepancy?

Were you a full-year or part-year resident of Arizona in 2024?

If you'd like, we can look at your return and see exactly what you see to help come to a resolution. The return will be scrubbed and won't include any of your personal details.

If you're using TurboTax Online:

Once you're logged in to your account,

- on the left hand panel, click on Tax Tools and then choose Tools

- on the pop up window, select Share my file with Agent

- you'll see a message saying you'll give us a copy of your tax return. Your personal information will be changed so we can't see any private information.

- click okay and you'll get another message with a token

If you're using TurboTax Desktop:

Click on Online in the top menu of TurboTax Desktop for Windows
Select 'Send Tax File to Agent'
Write down or send an image of your token number and state then place in this issue.
We can then review your exact scenario for a solution

Please reply to this message with your token so that we can further assist you. Let us know all other states, if any, that are included on the return.

29,200 is the federal Standard Deduction for Joint. I don’t know the states but they are probably a lot less than federal. My California Standard Deduction is around 5,000 too.

Are you a dependent on someone else's return? Or did you elect to itemize deductions even though they are less than the standard deduction. The 2024 Arizona standard deduction amounts are:

$ 14,600 for a single taxpayer or a married taxpayer filing a separate return;
$ 29,200 for a married couple filing a joint return; and
$ 21,900 for individuals filing a head of household return.
