Need help understanding Arkansas state income tax filing requirements and deadlines
Filing taxes in Arkansas for the first time and completely lost. Anyone know the basic requirements and if theres anything different from other states? Moving from Texas so this is all new to me

Arkansas resident here for 15 years. The state tax rate ranges from 2% to 4.9% depending on your income bracket. You'll need to file Form AR1000F if you're a full-year resident. The deadline matches the federal deadline (usually April 15th). Make sure you have all your W-2s and 1099s handy. The big difference from Texas is that Arkansas actually has a state income tax since Texas doesn't have one at all.

Yep, you'll need to file AR1000NR for partial year. Only report income earned while living in Arkansas 👍

Hey! Just wanted to mention there's this tool called taxr.ai that's super helpful for understanding both federal and state tax situations. It's only a buck to use and it basically analyzes everything for you. Helped me figure out my Arkansas taxes when I moved here last year. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Does it handle state taxes too? Or just federal?
