Question

Arizona – Adding a Dependent Not Claimed on the Federal Return

Accepted Answer

If a dependent was not claimed on the federal return, but should be shown on the AZ return, you will start by adding the person in the Dependents section of the federal return, however, you will need to mark them as Not a dependent this year when selecting the Dependent Type. See the Dependents - Entering Information in Program FAQ for details.

That prevents the dependent from being listed on the federal return, but will transfer the data to the Arizona return.
