Revised Certification Required by ADOR
The Arizona Department of Revenue has clarified the requirement for STOs to be a "nonprofit organization in this state." Every STO will need to define its presence in Arizona on its certification application by describing how it conducts business in the state. The following are examples that may show the STO is an organization within Arizona:
- A description of the type of work being performed in Arizona,
- Having a physical office location within the state, and
- How many employees or volunteers it has within Arizona.
The application specifically notes that merely obtaining a statutory agent in Arizona or a mail box alone is not sufficient to show that business is being conducted in Arizona.
This description will be required on every certification application submitted by organizations applying for certification as an STO. Existing, certified STOs must complete a revised certification form for each type of credit. These revised certification forms must be submitted to ADOR by January 24th.
