The Arizona Property Tax Credit is a refundable income tax credit claimed using Form 140PTC for the 2025 tax year. It is designed for eligible taxpayers who meet specific statutory requirements based on age or disability, residency, income, and housing costs.
The credit is not a refund of property taxes paid, but rather a refundable credit calculated under Arizona law based on qualifying criteria, which may include rent or property taxes paid on a primary residence.
To qualify, taxpayers must meet all eligibility requirements set forth in the Form 140PTC instructions, including Arizona residency and applicable age or disability criteria, as well as household income limitations.
How to File Form 140PTC
Due Date: April 15, 2026 (or the extended due date if a valid extension applies).
Filing Method:
- If filing Arizona Form 140 (or another applicable individual income tax return), Form 140PTC may be included with the return and e-filed when supported by the Arizona Department of Revenue.
- If not required to file an Arizona income tax return, Form 140PTC may be filed separately and mailed to the Arizona Department of Revenue in accordance with the instructions.
- The form must be completed in full and include any required supporting documentation.
Eligibility Requirements
Taxpayers must meet all applicable requirements, which generally include:
