If you didn't work in state if Arizona do you have to file state tax and pay?

If you lived in Arizona or were a resident of Arizona, you may have to file in Arizona even if you worked in another state or derived all of your income from another state. Arizona residents are subject to Arizona tax on all of their income from anywhere in the world.

The filing requirements are explained at the beginning of the instructions for Arizona income tax returns. If your gross income (for Arizona filing purposes,"gross income" means gross income as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, minus income included in gross income but excluded from Arizona taxations) is at least $15,000, you must file an Arizona income tax return. Also, you must file an Arizona income tax return if your Arizona adjusted gross income is at least $11,000 for married filing jointly or $5,500 for those filing as single, head of household or married filing separately.
