Arizona Department of Revenue Pub 706 August 2017
This publication issued jointly by the Arizona Department of
Revenue and the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services
is intended to provide general information about the Native
American Veterans Income Tax Settlement Fund. For
complete details, refer to Arizona Laws 2016, Chapter 125,
§ 19-29. In the case of inconsistency or omission in this
publication, the language of the Arizona law will prevail.
Background
On November 22, 2000 the United States Justice
Department issued a memo declaring that the taxation and
withholding of state income taxes from active duty military
pay of Native Americans domiciled on their reservation was
impermissible. The United States Department of Defense
began mandatory Arizona income tax withholding on all
active duty military pay on September 1, 1993 and continued
withholding Arizona income tax through December 31,
2005. Beginning January 1, 2006 Arizona no longer taxed
active duty military pay and therefore discontinued state
income tax withholding on this type of income. The Native
American Veterans Income Tax Settlement Fund was
established on July 1, 2016 to refund Arizona income tax
erroneously withheld from Native Americans who served in
the military while claiming tribal land as their domicile from
September 1, 1993 through December 31, 2005. During
the 2017 Arizona legislative session House Bill 2158 was
introduced to amend the original legislation when it was
discovered the Department of Defense may have withheld
Arizona income tax prior to September 1, 1993. Effective
August 9, 2017 refunds may be claimed for years 1977
through 2005.
Q1. Why was the Native American Veterans Income Tax
Settlement Fund established?
A1. Arizona income tax may have been withheld from
Native American active duty military pay in years
1977 through 2005. Those tax years are currently
closed by the statutes of limitations. Therefore, in an
effort to refund Arizona income tax withholding from
active duty military pay of Native Americans veterans
domiciled on their reservation, the Arizona legislature
established the Native American Veterans Income
Tax Settlement Fund.
Q2. What years did the Department of Defense withhold
Arizona income tax from active duty military pay?
A2. The Department of Defense may have withheld
Arizona income tax from 1977 through 2005.
Arizona entered into an agreement with the United
States Department of Defense to withhold Arizona
income tax from active duty military pay beginning
September 1, 1993. Arizona continued to withhold
income tax on active duty military pay through
2005. Beginning January 1, 2006 Arizona no longer
subjected active duty military pay to its income tax
and accordingly stopped withholding state income
tax. After the Native American Veterans Income Tax
Settlement Fund was established it was discovered the
Department of Defense may have withheld Arizona
income tax prior to September 1, 1993. As a result,
the Native American Veterans Income Tax Settlement
Fund was amended to allow refunds for years 1977
through 2005.
Q3. How much money is allocated to the Native American
Veterans Income Tax Settlement fund?
A3. The Arizona Legislature allocated two million dollars
to fund. Of the two million dollars 5 percent is
allocated to the Department of Veterans’ Services and
5 percent is allocated to Department of Revenue to
cover administrative costs.
Q4. What years are refunds available?
A4. Refunds may be claimed for years 1977 through 2005.
Mandatory withholding of Arizona income taxes by
the Department of Defense on active duty military pay
did not begin until September 1, 1993, however there
may have been withholding prior to that date.
Q5. May I amend my old Arizona state income tax returns
to recover my Arizona income tax withholding for
years 1977 through 2005?
A5. No, 1977 through 2005 are closed tax years under
Arizona’s statute of limitations. The only way to
recover withholding from tax years 1977 through
2005 is by making a claim under the Native American
Veterans Income Tax Settlement Fund.
Q6. How long is the Native American Veterans Income
Tax Settlement Fund open?
A6. The Native American Veterans Income Tax Settlement
Fund was established July 1, 2016. The Department
of Veterans’ Service may not accept claims after
December 31, 2019. The Department of Revenue will
not grant refunds after June 30, 2021. Any money

Q7. What does the claimant have to demonstrate?
A7. Produce DD-214 or other proof of military service
provided by the United States Department of Defense,
B. Sign a statement declaring they were an enrolled
member of their tribe while serving in the military,
C. Produce evidence of domicile while serving in the
military, D. Show Arizona income tax was withheld
(W-2) and E. Sign a statement that the Arizona
income tax was not refunded.
Q8. What must a claimant do in addition to the general
requirements if the veteran is deceased?
A8. In addition to the requirements listed in Question
and Answer #7 above, a claimant who is a surviving
spouse or personal representative must produce the
veteran’s death certificate to make a claim. A personal
representative must also sign a statement confirming
they are the decedent’s personal representative and
produce a copy of the claimant’s appointment. If
the claimant is a not a surviving spouse or personal
representative they must sign a statement that the
estate is worth less than $30,000, that 30 days have
passed since the decedent’s death and that they are the
rightful successor.
Q9. How does the application process work?
A9. The claimant sends their completed forms along
with any relevant paper work to the Department of
Veterans’ Services. Veterans’ Services has 210 days
to accept or reject the claim. Claims accepted by
the Department of Veterans’ Services are then sent
to the Department of Revenue. The Department of
Revenue has 210 days to approve or reject claims. The
Department of Revenue will issue refunds to claimants
with valid claims.
Q10. What forms are used to make a claim?
A10. Arizona Form NASF is used for general claims,
Arizona Form NASF-D is an additional form for
claimants if the veteran is deceased and Arizona Form
NASF-RS is a form used to substantiate the veteran’s
residency.
Q11. Where do I find the application forms?
A11. The application forms are available to download
online at https://dvs.az.gov or https://www.azdor.gov
Q12. Where do I mail my completed forms?
A12. Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services

Q13. Who may make a claim?
A13. Native American veterans who had Arizona income
tax withheld from their active duty military pay
while domiciled on their reservation. If the veteran
is deceased the surviving spouse or personal
representative may make a claim. If anyone other than
the surviving spouse or personal representative (e.g.,
child of the veteran) makes a claim they must show
the value of decedent’s estate was less than $30,000.
Q14. How are claims paid?
Q14. On a first-come, first-served basis until the fund is
exhausted.
Q15. Is interest paid on the refunds?
A15. Yes, settlement payments shall include interest
computed on a daily basis from the date of a timely
filed return.
Q16. Are refunds subject to setoffs?
A16. Yes, the refunds are subject to setoffs consistent with
A.R.S. § 42-1122. Examples of setoffs would include
back taxes, overdue child support and unpaid court
fees.
Q17. What if I do not have my DD-214 or other proof of
military service?
A17. Arizona Form NASF includes a check box allowing
the claimant to authorize the Arizona Department of
Veterans’ Services to obtain their DD-214 or other
proof of military service on their behalf from the
United States Department of Defense. Please attach
and sign Form SF-180 and attach it to your application.
Q18. What if I do not have my old W-2’s?
A18. Arizona Form NASF includes a check box allowing

from the United States Department of Defense.
Q19. What if I had Arizona withholding from my active
duty military pay while I was domiciled on my
reservation, but did not file an Arizona income tax
return for those years?
A19. Even if you did not file an Arizona return during those
years you are still eligible for a refund of your active
duty military pay withholding including accrued
interest, however any refunds paid are subject to
setoffs consistent with A.R.S. § 42-1122.
Q20. What if my claim is denied?
A20. If the claim is denied by the Arizona Department of
Veterans’ Services the appealed case will go to the
Office of Administrative Hearings. If the claim is
denied by the Department of Revenue the appealed
case will be considered a contested case heard by the
Department of Revenue’s Hearing Officer.

INSTRUCTION AND INFORMATION SHEET FOR SF 180, REQUEST PERTAINING TO MILITARY RECORDS
1. General Information. The Standard Form 180, Request Pertaining to Military Records (SF180) is used to request information from military records.
Certain identifying information is necessary to determine the location of an individual's record of military service. Please try to answer each item on the SF
180. If you do not have and cannot obtain the information for an item, show "NA," meaning the information is "not available". Include as much of the
requested information as you can. Incomplete information may delay response time. To determine where to mail this request see Page 2 of the SF180 for
record locations and facility addresses.
Online requests may be submitted to the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) by a veteran or deceased veteran’s next-of-kin using eVetRecs at
http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/ .
2. Personnel Records/Military Human Resource Records/Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and Medical Records/Service Treatment
Records (STR). Personnel records of military members who were discharged, retired, or died in service LESS THAN 62 YEARS AGO and medical
records are in the legal custody of the military service department and are administered in accordance with rules issued by the Department of Defense and
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS, Coast Guard). STRs of persons on active duty are generally kept at the local servicing clinic. After the last
day of active duty, STRs should be requested from the appropriate address on page 2 of the SF 180. (See item 3, Archival Records, if the military member
was discharged, retired or died in service more than 62 years ago.)
a. Release of information: Release of information is subject to restrictions imposed by the military services consistent with Department of Defense
regulations, the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act of 1974. The service member (either past or present) or
the member's legal guardian has access to almost any information contained in that member's own record. The authorization signature of the service
member or the member's legal guardian is needed in Section III of the SF180. Others requesting information from military personnel records and/or
STRs must have the release authorization in Section III of the SF 180 signed by the member or legal guardian. If the appropriate signature cannot be
obtained, only limited types of information can be provided. If the former member is deceased, the surviving next-of-kin may, under certain
circumstances, be entitled to greater access to a deceased veteran's records than a member of the general public. The next-of-kin may be any of the
following: unremarried surviving spouse, father, mother, son, daughter, sister, or brother. Requesters MUST provide proof of death, such as a
copy of a death certificate, newspaper article (obituary) or death notice, coroner’s report of death, funeral director’s signed statement of
death, or verdict of coroner’s jury.
b. Fees for records: There is no charge for most services provided to service members or next-of-kin of deceased veterans. A nominal fee is
charged for certain types of service. In most instances, service fees cannot be determined in advance. If your request involves a service fee, you will
receive an invoice with your records.
3. Archival Records. Personnel records of military members who were discharged, retired, or died in service 62 OR MORE YEARS AGO have been
transferred to the legal custody of NARA and are referred to as “archival records”.
a. Release of Information: Archival records are open to the public. The Privacy Act of 1974 does not apply to archival records, therefore, written
authorization from the veteran or next-of-kin is not required. In order to protect the privacy of the veteran, his/her family, and third parties named in
the records, the personal privacy exemption of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552 (b) (6)) may still apply and may preclude the release
of some information.
b. Fees for Archival Records: Access to archival records are granted by offering copies of the records for a fee (44 U.S.C. 2116 (c)). If a fee applies
to the photocopies of documents in the requested record, you will receive an invoice. Photocopies will be sent after payment is made. For more
information see http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/archival-programs/military-personnel-archival/ompf-archival-requests.html.
4. Where reply may be sent. The reply may be sent to the service member or any other address designated by the service member or other authorized
requester. If the designated address is NOT registered to the addressee by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), provide BOTH the addressee’s name AND “in
care of” (c/o) the name of the person to whom the address is registered on the NAME line in Section III, item 3, on page 1 of the SF 180. The COMPLETE
address must be provided, INCLUDING any apartment/suite/unit/lot/space/etc. number.
5. Definitions and abbreviations. DISCHARGED -- the individual has no current military status; SERVICE TREATMENT RECORD (STR) -- The
chronology of medical, mental health, and dental care received by service members during the course of their military career (does not include records of
treatment while hospitalized); TDRL Temporary Disability Retired List.
6. Service completed before World War I. National Archives Trust Fund (NATF) forms must be used to request these records. Obtain the forms by e-
mail from inquire@nara.gov or write to the Code 6 address on page 2 of the SF 180.
PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
The following information is provided in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3) and applies to this form. Authority for collection of the information is 44
U.S.C. 2907, 3101, and 3103, and Public Law 104-134 (April 26, 1996), as amended in title 31, section 7701. Disclosure of the information is voluntary. If
the requested information is not provided, it may delay servicing your inquiry because the facility servicing the service member's record may not have all of
