Caucus & COW 
Overview 
Conforms the Arizona tax statutes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986, as 
amended, and in effect as of January 1, 2025, including those provisions that became effective 
during 2024 with the specific adoption of all the retroactive dates, but excluding any changes 
to the IRC enacted after January 1, 2025. 
History 
Current law conforms Arizona's income tax calculation to the IRC of 1986, as amended, in 
effect on January 1, 2024, including those provisions that became effective during 2023 with 
the specific adoption of all retroactive effective dates, but excluding any changes to the code 
enacted after January 1, 2024. (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.
