Overview
Arkansas residency requirements and online assessment
Domicile test
Arkansas determines tax residency primarily through the concept of domicile. Your domicile is considered your true, fixed, and permanent home - the place you intend to return to when absent. To establish domicile in Arkansas, you must be physically present in the state and demonstrate your intent to make it your permanent home. This can be evidenced by various factors such as maintaining a residence, registering to vote, or obtaining an Arkansas driver's license. To help with this determination, you can use the Arkansas Assess Online system, which provides tools for evaluating your residency status and its impact on your tax obligations.
183-day rule
In addition to the domicile test, Arkansas applies a 183-day rule to determine statutory residency. If you maintain a permanent place of abode in Arkansas and spend more than 183 days (six months) in the state during a tax year, you may be considered a statutory resident for tax purposes. This rule applies even if you don't consider Arkansas your domicile. It's crucial to keep accurate records of your days spent in the state. The Arkansas Assess Online platform can be a valuable resource for tracking your days and assessing your residency status, helping you avoid unintended tax consequences.
Part-year residency and online assessment
Arkansas recognizes part-year residency for individuals who either move into or out of the state during the tax year. If you become or cease to be a resident during the year, you'll need to file a part-year resident return. This return will report income earned from all sources while you were an Arkansas resident, as well as income from Arkansas sources while you were a non-resident. The Arkansas Assess Online system can help you determine your specific filing requirements based on your residency status and time spent in the state, ensuring accurate reporting and compliance with state tax laws.
Special considerations and online tools
Arkansas tax laws have special considerations for certain groups, such as active duty military personnel. Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), military members and their spouses may maintain legal residency in their home state even if stationed in Arkansas. However, non-military income earned in Arkansas may still be subject to state taxes. The Arkansas Assess Online platform provides resources to help military personnel understand and assess their unique tax situations. Additionally, for property owners, the system offers tools to evaluate property tax assessments, ensuring you're paying the correct amount based on your property's value and your residency status.
