Arkansas Residents who work in another state

If your domicile home was in Arkansas all year you are a resident of Arkansas. If you are a resident of Arkansas and made more than $7,800 (if filing single), $12,100 (if filing as head of household), $15,500 (if married and filing jointly), $3,999 (if married and filing separately), or $15,500 (if filing as a widow) of gross income you will need to file a Arkansas resident income tax return. You will use form Form-1000 (attached below) to file your return. For additional information and assistance see the Form-1000 Instructions (attached below).

If you are an Arkansas resident that works in another state you will be taxed by Arkansas on income earned in the other state because Arkansas taxes all income its residents make regardless of where the income is earned. However the state that you earned the income in may also tax the income because the other state taxes all income earned in it. This means you would be facing dual taxation on this income. To avoid being taxed on this income twice Arkansas allows you to take a credit for income paid to other taxes. This credit may not exceed to amount of tax you owe Arkansas. To qualify for this credit attach a complete copy of the return you filed with the other state.
