Arizona Form A1-QRT is the official quarterly withholding tax return for employers in Arizona. Almost all businesses that withhold state income tax from employee wages must file this form each quarter. Employers approved by the Arizona Department of Revenue for annual remittance are the main exception.

The form requires employers to report taxpayer identification, tax liability schedules for each month of the quarter, and total payments made during the quarter. It supports multiple deposit schedules, including quarterly, monthly, and semi-weekly depositors. Employers can also use it to notify the department of address changes or business closures.
