The Arizona A 4P form serves as an essential tool for individuals receiving annuity or pension payments who wish to manage their state income tax withholding. This form allows annuitants to voluntarily elect Arizona income tax withholding from their payments, ensuring that they meet their tax obligations in a timely manner. When filling out the A 4P, users will need to provide personal information, including their full name, social security number, and address, along with details about their annuity contract.
