Summary
Arizona income tax now correctly uses loss-limited capital gains instead of raw long-term capital gains when calculating the 25% LTCG subtraction.
Changes
az_long_term_capital_gains_subtractionto check if net capital gains are positive before applying the subtractionTechnical Details
Per ARS 43-1022(22), the subtraction is for "net long-term capital gain included in federal adjusted gross income". When there's an overall capital loss (STCG losses exceed LTCG), no long-term capital gains make it into federal AGI, so the subtraction should be zero.
Before fix: Person with -$100K STCG and +$50K LTCG would get a $12,500 subtraction (25% of $50K)
After fix: Same person gets $0 subtraction because net capital gains = -$50K (loss)
