I received a 1099-G from Arizona in 2016 for my 2014 state refund which i included in my 2015 taxes. Can anyone explain why? Or a likely reason?

The Arizona Department of Revenue today announced that some 1099-G forms were sent out to taxpayers that contained erroneous information. This matter does not impact anyone who did not receive an Arizona state income tax refund in 2015.

The erroneous forms included information from the 2014 tax year, and did not include the correct information from the 2015 tax year. Department officials are actively taking steps to have new forms with the correct information resent to affected taxpayers.

The 1099-G serves as a confirmation of the previous year’s state tax refund. Arizonans can still file their federal and state tax returns if they have access to their previous year’s return, which contains the same refund information as the 1099-G.

The Department is conducting a root-cause analysis to determine how this error occurred and prevent it from happening in the future.
