HB 2383: conformity; internal revenue code. 
Sponsor: Representative Carter, LD 15 
Caucus & COW 
Overview 
Conforms Arizona tax statutes to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as amended and in effect as 
of January 1, 2023, to reflect changes adopted by the U.S. Congress, including those provisions 
that became effective during 2022 with the specific adoption of all retroactive dates. 
History 
Current law conforms Arizona's income tax calculation to the IRC of 1986, as amended, in effect 
on March 11, 2021, along with all federal retroactive dates, but excluding any change to the IRC 
enacted after March 11, 2021. (A.R.S. § 43-105) 
Generally, each year changes are made to the IRC that affect the Arizona income tax calculation. 
Tax conformity with the IRC is deemed necessary because the calculation of Arizona corporate 
income tax begins with federal taxable income and the federal adjusted gross income is the 
starting point for individual income tax. 
Provisions 
1. Amends the definition of internal revenue code. (Sec. 1) 
2. Conforms Arizona's income tax calculation for taxable years beginning January 1, 2023 to the 
IRC of 1986, as amended, in effect on January 1, 2023, including those provisions that 
became effective during 2022 with the specific adoption of all retroactive effective dates 
including the provisions of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-167), the Inflation 
Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 
117-328) that are retroactively effective during Tax Year 2022. (Sec. 2) 
3. Makes technical and conforming changes. (Sec. 1, 2)
