Section 235-2.3(b)(40), Hawaii Revised Statutes, with respect to computation of tax where taxpayers restores substantial amount held under claim of right, is amended for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021. (Act 56, SLH 2023) A Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax credit has been established for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022 and effective January 1, 2024. The PTE tax credit allows partnerships and S corporations to annually elect to pay Hawaii income tax at the entity level. Eligible members of an electing PTE may claim a nonrefundable income tax credit for their pro rata share of PTE taxes paid by the entity. (Act 50, SLH 2023) These refundable income tax credits have been amended for taxable years 2023 to 2027 by (1) increasing the household and dependent care tax credit, (2) increasing the refundable earned income tax credit, and (3) increasing the income thresholds and credit amounts of the refundable food/ excise tax credit. (Act 163, SLH 2023) Taxpayers may exclude up to $7,683 of their military reserve or Hawaii National Guard duty pay from their income, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022.

Amended Returns • If you are filing an amended return, you must submit a complete return and attach Schedule AMD along with all required forms and statements. If you are claiming any tax credits, remember to attach the required forms, such as Schedule CR and Schedule X, even if you claimed the credits on the original return. See “Make Sure Your Tax Return is Correct and Complete” above. Married Taxpayers • If you are married, print your spouse’s social security number in the designated area on your return whether a joint or separate return is filed. • If your spouse is an alien and was issued an ITIN by the IRS, enter your spouse’s ITIN. • If you are married and filing separate returns, the refund from your spouse’s return cannot be applied to your liability.

Same-Sex Marriage vided to married couples and the children of married couples may be taxable federally when they are provided for civil union partners and their children, unless the civil union partner or their children qualify as dependents under IRC section 152. Who Must File 1. Every individual doing business in Hawaii during the taxable year must file a return, whether or not the individual derives any taxable income from that business. “Doing business” includes all activities engaged in or caused to be engaged in with the object of gain or economic benefit, direct or indirect, except personal services performed as an employee under the direction and control of an employer. For example, every person receiving rents from property owned in Hawaii is “doing business” and must file a return whether or not the person’s expenses exceed the gross rental income. 2. Every individual receiving more than the following amounts of gross income subject to taxation under Hawaii Income Tax Law, including amounts received as salaries and wages for services rendered by an employee to an employer, must file a return: For Individuals Under Age 65 Filing Status Gross Income of On August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service ruled that same-sex couples, legally married in jurisdictions that recognize their marriages, will be treated as married for federal tax purposes. See IRS Revenue Ruling 2013-17 for more information. Married filing separately $3,344 Single $3,344 Head of household $4,356 Qualifying surviving spouse $5,544 Effective December 2, 2013, Hawaii recognizes marriages between individuals of the same sex. As it relates to taxation, all same-sex couples that are legally married in Hawaii or any other jurisdiction where such marriages are valid are married for all tax purposes, including Hawaii income tax purposes. Married filing jointly $6,688 Civil Unions For Individuals Age 65 or older Filing Status Gross Income of Married filing separately $4,488 Effective January 1, 2012, civil unions are recognized in Hawaii. Civil unions entered into in a jurisdiction other than Hawaii are also recognized, provided that the relationship meets Hawaii’s eligibility requirements, has been entered into in accordance with the laws of the other jurisdiction, and can be documented. Single $4,488 Head of household $5,500 Qualifying surviving spouse $6,688 The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provisions referred to in Hawaii’s Income Tax Law that apply to a husband and wife, spouses, or person in a legal marital relationship shall be deemed to apply to partners in a civil union with the same force and effect as if they were “husband and wife,” “spouses,” or other terms that describe persons in a legal marital relationship. Accordingly, references to “married” and “spouse” are also references to “in a civil union” and “civil union partner,” respectively. Married filing jointly, both are 65 or older The federal government does not recognize civil unions as married individuals for federal income tax purposes. The income reported for federal and for Hawaii income tax purposes may differ, depending on the situation, as civil union couples do not have the same tax filing status options as married couples have in Hawaii. For example, certain employee benefits that are tax-exempt when proPage 4 Married filing jointly, one is 65 or older $7,832 $8,976 These threshold amounts will be higher for persons who are blind, deaf, or totally disabled, and who have completed and filed a certification with the Department of Taxation (Department) of their disability on Form N-172 before filing their income tax return. For individuals who can be claimed as dependents on the tax return of another taxpayer, the threshold amount is the amount of the dependents’ standard deduction. For nonresident aliens, the threshold amount is $1,144 for individuals under 65, and $2,288 for individuals 65 or older. For nonresident individuals, the threshold amounts stated above must be multiplied by the ratio of Hawaii adjusted gross income to total adjusted gross income from all sources to determine whether the individual must file a return. 3. Children who receive unearned income during the taxable year and have not attained the age of 14 years before the end of the taxable year must file their own returns to report their income unless their parent or parents report that income. However, the Department will, administratively, not require the filing of a State income tax return if the child’s total earned and/or unearned income for the taxable year is $500 or less and the application of the standard deduction amount results in no taxable income for the child. Children who must file a return may need to file Form N-615, Computation of Tax for Children Under Age 14 Who Have Unearned Income of More than $1,000. Parents may report income of their children by filing Form N-814, Parent’s Election to Report Child’s Interest and Dividends. 4. If you need to report additional tax from Form N-2, Distribution from an Individual Housing Account; Form N-103, Sale of Your Home; Form N-152, Tax on LumpSum Distributions; Form N-312, Recapture of Capital Goods Excise Tax Credit; Form N-325, Recapture of Historic Preservation Income Tax Credit; Form N-338, Recapture of Tax Credit for Flood Victims; Form N-344, Recapture of Important Agricultural Land Qualified Agricultural Cost Tax Credit; Form N-348, Recapture of Capital Infrastructure Tax Credit; Form N-405, Tax on Accumulation Distribution of Trusts; Form N-586, Recapture of Tax Credit for Low-Income Housing; or Form N-814, Parent’s Election to Report Child’s Interest and Dividends, then you must file a return regardless of income level. Who Should File Even if you do not have to file, you should file to get a refund if too much income tax was withheld from your pay. Also, if you are eligible for refundable credits, you need to file a return to claim the credits. Residency Status Resident A resident is taxed on income from all sources. A resident must file an Individual Income Tax Return—Resident (Form N-11), if required to do so. A Hawaii resident is (1) Every individual domiciled in Hawaii, and (2) Every other individual whether domiciled in Hawaii or not, who resides in Hawaii for other than a temporary or transitory purpose. An individual domiciled outside Hawaii is presumed to be a resident if he or she spends more than 200 days in Hawaii during the taxable year. This presumption may be overcome by evidence satisfactory to the Department that the individual maintained a permanent place of abode outside the State and was in the State for a temporary or transitory purpose. No person shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence simply because of his or her presence or absence in compliance with military or naval orders of the United States, while engaged in aviation or navigation, or while a student at any institution of learning. See Tax Information Release No. 97-1, “Determination of Residence Status.” Nonresident A Hawaii nonresident is an individual who is in Hawaii for a temporary or transient purpose, and whose permanent domicile is not Hawaii. A nonresident must file an Individual Income Tax Return—Nonresident and Part-Year Resident (Form N-15), if required to do so. A nonresident will be taxed on income from Hawaii sources only. A nonresident married to a Hawaii resident may choose to file a joint return with the resident spouse on Form N-11; however, the nonresident will then be taxed on all income from all sources. For more information, see Married Filing Joint Return on page 7. Part-Year Resident A part-year resident is an individual who was a Hawaii resident for part of the year, and who was a nonresident during the other part of the year. This includes those who moved to Hawaii during the year and those who moved away from Hawaii during the year. A part-year resident must file an Individual Income Tax Return—Nonresident and Part-Year Resident (Form N-15), if required to do so. A part-year resident will be taxed on all income from all sources during the period of residency, and on income from Hawaii sources only during the period of nonresidency. Domicile Defined The term “domicile” means the place where an individual has a true, fixed, permanent home and principal establishment, and to which place the individual has, whenever absent, the intention of returning. It is the place in which an individual has voluntarily fixed the habitation of himself or herself and family, not for a mere special or temporary purpose, but with the present intention of making a permanent home. Three things are necessary to create a new domicile: first, abandonment of the old domicile; second, the intent to establish a new domicile; and third, actual physical presence in the new domicile. Once a domicile is established, the intent to abandon it is not itself sufficient to create a new domicile; a new domicile must be shown. Reminder: If you are in Hawaii because of military orders and do not intend to make Hawaii your permanent home, you are not considered a Hawaii resident for income tax purposes, even though you have been in Hawaii for more than 200 days in 2023. File a resident return with your home state, and file a Hawaii nonresident and part-year resident return (Form N-15) to report your Hawaii income. Resident and Nonresident Examples Example 1—A Hawaii resident who enlists in the military normally will remain a Hawaii resident regardless of the length of absence from Hawaii while stationed outside of Hawaii. Example 2—A Hawaii resident working in a foreign country will remain a Hawaii resident unless permanent resident status is granted by the foreign country. Example 3—Foreign students who are granted entry into the United States on “F” visas are nonresidents for Hawaii tax purposes. Researchers and faculty members who are granted entry into the United States on “H,” “J,” or “Q” visas, and who have been in Hawaii for more than 200 days during the taxable year may be considered Hawaii residents. Example 4—Spouses of those in the military service do not become Hawaii residents if their principal reason for moving to Hawaii was the transfer of the service member spouse to Hawaii, and if it is their intention to leave Hawaii when the service member spouse either is transferred to another military station or leaves the service. Example 5—A Hawaii resident who marries a nonresident will remain a Hawaii resident unless the three requirements for changing his or her domicile are also met. (Refer to “Domicile Defined” on this page.) This situation applies in reverse to a nonresident who marries a resident. A person’s residence status will not change just because of marriage. For more information, see Tax Information Release No. 90-3, “Income Taxation and Eligibility for Credits of an Individual Taxpayer Whose Status Changes from Resident to Nonresident or from Nonresident to Resident,” Tax Information Release No. 90-10, “Clarification of Taxation and the Eligibility for Personal Exemptions and Credits of Residents and Nonresidents in the Military and Spouses and Dependents of Persons in the Military,” Tax Information Release No. 97-1, “Determination of Residence Status,” Tax Information Release No. 2010-01, “Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (“MSRRA”),” and Department of Taxation Announcement No. 2019-01, “Military Spouses Residency Relief Act; Amendments to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act enacted December 31, 2018; Tax Information Release No. 2010-01.” Which Form to File You MUST use Form N-11 if: • You were a resident for the full year, or, if married filing jointly, either spouse was a resident for the full year (however, the nonresident spouse would be taxed on their worldwide income for the full year). You MUST use Form N-15 if: • You were a nonresident for the full year, or, if married filing jointly, both spouses were nonresidents for the full year. • You are taking up residence in Hawaii during the tax year. (Part-year resident). • You are giving up residence in Hawaii during the tax year. (Part-year resident). When to File Note: If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, use the next regular workday as the due date. You should file as soon as you can after January 1, but not later than April 22, 2024. If you are a fiscal year taxpayer, the prescribed due date of the income tax return is the 20th day of the fourth month following the close of the fiscal year. If you file late, you may have to pay penalties and interest if you owe taxes on your return. Please see the instructions for Penalties and Interest on page 25. If you are unable to file your Hawaii tax return by April 22, 2024, you are automatically granted a -month extension without the need to file anything with the Department unless an additional tax payment must be made. As long as the following conditions are met, you are deemed to have made an application for the 6-month extension to file an income tax return on the prescribed due date: 1. On or before April 22, 2024, 100% of the properly estimated tax liability is paid; 2. The tax return is filed on or before the expiration of the 6-month extension period; 3. The tax return is accompanied by full payment of any tax not already paid; and 4. A court has not ordered you to file the tax return on or before the prescribed due date. Properly estimated tax liability means you made a bona fide and reasonable attempt to locate and gather all of the necessary information to make a proper estimate of tax liability for the taxable year. If you must make an additional payment of tax on or before April 22, 2024 in order to meet the condition requiring payment of 100% of the properly estimated tax liability, file Form N-200V with your payment. Federal Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, may not be used in lieu of Form N-200V. The extension of time to file is not an extension of time for payment of tax. Under Hawaii Income Tax Law, certain tax credits must be claimed within 12 months from the close of the tax year. You may use the below worksheet to determine the amount of your income tax balance due. 1. Amount of income tax you expect to owe for the taxable year. If you do not expect to owe tax, do not complete this worksheet. ....................................... 2. Hawaii income tax withheld ........... 3. Current year’s estimated tax payments (include prior year’s overpayment allowed as a credit) ....................................... 4. Other payments and tax credits .............................................. 5. Total (add lines 2, 3, and 4) ............ 6. Income tax balance due (line 1 minus line 5)........................ You must pay the amount shown on line 6. Form N-200V can be filed and payment made electronically through the State’s Internet portal at hitax.hawaii.gov. For more information on available electronic services, see tax.hawaii.gov/eservices/. The official U.S. Post Office cancellation mark will be considered primary evidence of the date of filing of tax documents and payments. If you want to keep evidence that you mailed your return on time, ask your Post Office for a Certificate of Mailing. It is NOT necessary to get a certified or registered mail return receipt. Hawaii has adopted the IRC provision to allow documents and payments delivered by a designated private delivery service to qualify for the “timely mailing treated as timely filing/paying rule.” The Department will conform to the Internal Revenue Service listing of designated private delivery service and type of delivery services qualifying under this provision. Timely filing of mail which does not bear the U.S. Post Office cancellation mark or the date recorded or marked by the designated delivery service will be determined by reference to other competent evidence. The private delivery service can tell you how to get written proof of the mailing date.

If so, the taxpayer’s spouse or personal representative may have to file a return and sign it for the person who died (decedent) if the decedent was required to file a return. A personal representative can be an executor, administrator, or anyone who is in charge of the taxpayer’s property. If the decedent did not have to file a return but either had State income tax withheld, made estimated tax payments, or is eligible for various tax credits, a return must be filed to get a refund. If your spouse died in 2023 and you did not remarry in 2023, or if your spouse died in 2024 before filing a return for 2023, you may still file a joint return for the 2023 tax year. If a return is filed for a deceased taxpayer, including a joint return with a surviving spouse, the Deceased oval must be filled in and the date of death must be written in the boxes provided. Generally, the personal representative or other responsible individual must sign the return on behalf of the decedent. If a refund is due, Form N-110, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer, must be completed and attached to the return to ensure that the refund check will be issued in the name of the surviving spouse, personal representative, or other responsible individual instead of in the decedent’s name. A personal representative or other individual may be required to attach other documents such as the death certificate. See Form N-110 for further information. Exception for joint returns filed by surviving spouse. If a joint return is being filed by the decedent and the decedent’s surviving spouse, the surviving spouse should enter the decedent’s name, social security number, and date of death on the Spouse’s information lines. The surviving spouse should file as the primary taxpayer and should write, “Filing as surviving spouse,” on the spouse’s signature line, and then the surviving Page 6 spouse should sign his or her name on the primary taxpayer’s signature line. If a refund is being claimed on the return, Form N-110 is not required. The refund check will be issued to the surviving spouse. Filing a Final Return If you are giving up your Hawaii residency at the end of the year, write the words “FINAL RETURN” on the top middle of the return. Estimated Tax Payments Purpose. You must pay income taxes as you earn income during the year, either through withholding or by making estimated tax payments. You may have to make estimated tax payments if the tax withheld from your salary is not enough, or if you receive income that is not subject to withholding, such as self-employment income, interest, dividends, rents, and capital gains. Who Must Make Estimated Tax Payments? In most cases, you must pay estimated tax for the current year if both of the following apply: (1) You expect to owe at least $500 in tax for the current year, after subtracting your withholding and credits. (2) You expect your withholding and credits to be less than the smaller of: 60% of the tax to be shown on your current year tax return, or 100% of the tax shown on your tax return for the preceding year. Your tax return for the preceding year must cover all 12 months. If in the preceding year you did not file a tax return or that return did not cover all 12 months, the 100% of the tax shown on your tax return for the preceding year does not apply. Exceptions. You do not have to pay estimated tax for the current year if: 1. Your estimated tax liability (after taking into account all taxes withheld or collected at the source) for the taxable year is less than $500; or 2. You meet all of the following conditions: (1) You were a full-year Hawaii resident in the preceding year, nonresidents or part-year residents in the preceding year do not qualify for this exception, (2) You had no tax liability for the preceding year, and (3) Your tax year covered a 12-month period. You had no tax liability for the preceding year if your total tax was zero or you were not required to file an income tax return. Due Dates for Estimated Tax Payments. You can pay all of your estimated tax by April 20, 2024, or in four equal amounts by April 20, 2024, June 20, 2024 September 20, 2024, and January 20, 2025. Each payment must be submitted with Form N-200V, Individual Income Tax Payment Voucher. Form N-200V can be filed and payment made electronically through the State’s Internet portal at hitax.hawaii.gov. For more information on available electronic services, see tax. hawaii.gov/eservices/. Penalties. You may be charged a penalty (interest on the underpayment of estimated tax) if you do not pay enough tax through withholding and estimated tax payments, or if your estimated tax payments are late. See Penalties and Interest on page 25. For more information, see Tax Facts 2019-03, “Estimated Income Tax for Individuals.” Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Section 231-9.9, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), authorizes the Department to require those taxpayers whose tax liability exceeds $100,000 during the past year to pay the tax by EFT instead of by check. A penalty of 2% of the total tax will be assessed if you are required to make payments by EFT but fail to timely do so. If an EFT payment is dishonored, a $25 service fee will be assessed. For more information on paying taxes by EFT, see tax.hawaii.gov/eservices/ and Tax Information Release No. 95-6, “Questions and Answers on Paying Taxes by Electronic-Funds Transfer” and Tax Information Release No. 99-1, “Filing of Tax Returns Required by Taxpayers Who Pay Taxes by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).” Multistate Tax Compact Act Any taxpayer, other than a corporation acting as a business entity in more than one state, who is required by Hawaii Income Tax Law to file a return and whose only activities in the State consist of sales and who does not own or rent real estate or tangible personal property and whose annual gross sales in or into the State during the tax year are not in excess of $100,000, may elect to report and pay a tax of .5 percent of such annual gross sales. Taxpayers who elect the foregoing shall file Form N-310 in lieu of Form N-11. Special Instructions for Nonresident Aliens In certain situations, a taxpayer may be considered a nonresident alien for federal income tax purposes and a resident for Hawaii income tax purposes. In these situations, the special rules applicable to individuals who are considered nonresident aliens for federal income tax purposes will apply when the individual files a Hawaii resident income tax return. See Tax Information Release No. 97-1, “Determination of Residence Status.” Steps for Preparing Your Return These instructions consist of 12 steps. You should complete the first 3 steps that follow BEFORE you begin to fill in your return. Steps 4 and 5, filling in the return through line 6e, begin on page 7 and end on page 10. Step 6, filling in the rest of the return, is on page 10. The Line-By-Line Instructions for Form N-11 begin on page 11 and end on page 24. Finally, steps 7 through 12 begin on page 25. These are the steps you should take after your Form N-11, and other schedules and forms you need, are filled in. If you follow these steps and read the Line-By-Line Instructions, we feel you can fill in your return quickly and accurately. If you have any questions, call our Taxpayer Services staff. Step 1 Get all of your income records together. These include any Forms HW-2 and federal Forms W-2 or 1099 that you received. If you don’t receive a Form HW-2 or federal Form W-2 by January 31, or if the one you get isn’t correct, please contact your employer as soon as possible. Only your employer can give you a Form HW-2 or federal Form W-2, or correct it. If you cannot get a Form HW-2 or federal Form W-2 by February 15, please contact our Taxpayer Services staff. If you have someone prepare your return for you, make sure that person has all your income and expense records so he or she can fill in your return correctly. Remember, even if someone else prepares your return incorrectly, YOU are still responsible. Step 2 Write any descriptions (e.g., Jr., III, etc.) in the space provided for the suffix. If you plan to claim tax credits or itemize deductions, get the information and expense records you need. You must also write the first four letters of your last name in the boxes provided. If you are married, you must also write the first four letters of your spouse’s last name in the boxes provided whether joint or separate returns are filed. These instructions tell you what credits and deductions you can claim. Some of the records you may need are: • Medical and dental payment records. • Real estate and income tax receipts. • Interest payment records for a home mortgage. • Receipts for charitable contributions. Step 3 Get all forms, instructions, and publications you need. All forms, instructions, and publications you need are available on the Internet. You may also pick them up at any district tax office or request that they be mailed to you. Please allow approximately 10 days for the mailing of the tax forms. See page 6 for Department’s website address and phone number. Step 4 Fill in the oval(s) if you are filing an amended return. If you are filing an amended return, fill in the amended return oval at the top of Form N-11. If you are filing an amended return due to a farming net operating loss carryback, also fill in the NOL Carryback oval. If you are filing an amended return due to an IRS adjustment, also fill in the IRS Adjustment oval. See page 23 of the instructions for more information. Step 5 Fill in your tax year, first time filer oval, name, address, social security number, filing status, and exemptions. Tax Year, First Time Filer If you are filing your return on a fiscal year basis, you must fill in the dates that your fiscal year begins and ends. Address Write your current mailing address in the space provided. If you receive your mail “in care of” someone else (i.e., your mail is sent to an address belonging to someone other than yourself), fill in that person’s name in the space provided. If your address is outside the United States or its possessions or territories, enter the city in the space provided for “City, town or post office,” and enter the postal code in the space provided for “Postal/ZIP code.” Enter the province and/or state, and the name of the country in the space provided. Do not abbreviate the country name. If your mailing address has changed, you must notify the Department of the change by completing Form ITPS-COA, Change of Address Form, or log in to your Hawaii Tax Online account at hitax.hawaii.gov. Failure to do so may prevent your address from being updated, any refund due to you from being delivered (the U.S. Postal Service is not permitted to forward your State refund check), and delay important notices or correspondence to you regarding your return. Social Security Number Write your social security number in the space provided. If you are married, you must also write your spouse’s social security number in the space provided whether joint or separate returns are filed. Your social security numbers must be written in the same order as your names are written on your return. Also enter your social security number, and your spouse’s social security number if you are married and filing a joint return, at the top of Form N-11, pages 2, 3, and 4. If you are an alien and was issued an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) by the IRS, enter your ITIN in the space provided for the social security number. The Department needs this information to issue your refund and correctly apply any tax payments in a timely manner. Your refund may be delayed without a valid social security number or ITIN provided on your income tax return. If you are filing a tax return for the first time, fill in the “First Time Filer” oval at the top of Form N-11. Filing Status Name More than one filing status may apply to you. Choose the one that will give you the lowest tax. Your filing status may or may not be the same as your federal filing status. For example, the federal government recognizes same-sex marriages but not civil unions, while Hawaii recognizes both same-sex marriages and civil unions. For Hawaii purposes, civil union couples have the same tax status options as married couples. Write your name, and your spouse’s name if you are married and filing a joint return, in the space provided and at the top of Form N-11, pages 2, 3, and 4. You must use your legal name. Nicknames are not permitted. If you have changed your name because of marriage, divorce, etc., make sure you immediately notify the Social Security Administration so that the name on your tax return is the same as the name on the social security records. If these names do not match, your refund may be delayed. If you file joint returns, write the names in the same order every year. If you are filing as the surviving spouse, see Death of Taxpayer on page 6 for more information on joint returns filed by a surviving spouse. Fill in oval 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 as appropriate. Fill in only one oval. Single Note: Civil union couples may not choose “single” as their filing status. You can fill in oval 1 if any of the following was true on December 31, 2023. • You were never married. • You were legally separated according to your state’s law under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance. But if, at the end of 2023, your divorce was not final (an interlocutory decree), you are considered married and cannot fill in oval 1. • You were widowed before January 1, 2023, and did not remarry before the end of 2023. If you have a child, you may be able to use the qualifying surviving spouse filing status. See Qualifying Surviving Spouse on page 8. If you are unmarried and provide a home for certain other persons, you may be able to file as Head of Household. See Head of Household on page 8. Married Filing Joint Return Note: For purposes of filing a joint return, common law marriages are not recognized under Hawaii law unless they began in a state which permits common law marriages. You can fill in oval 2 if any of the following apply. • You were married at the end of 2023, even if you did not live with your spouse at the end of 2023. • Your spouse died in 2023 and you did not remarry in 2023. • You were married at the end of 2023, and your spouse died in 2024 before filing a 2023 return. If you are married and file a joint return, both you and your spouse must report all of your income, exemptions, deductions, and credits on your joint return. You can file a joint return even if only one of you had income or if you did not live together all year. However, both of you must sign the return. If you file a joint return, both you and your spouse are generally responsible for the tax, interest, and penalties due on the return. This means that if one spouse does not pay the tax due, the other may have to. If you and your spouse file a joint return for the year and later decide to file separately, both you and your spouse MUST file amended returns on or before the due date of the original return (April 20). You may not change your filing status from married filing jointly to married filing separately after that date. If your spouse died in 2023 or in 2024 before filing a return for 2023, see Death of Taxpayer on page 6. Special Rule for Nonresidents or Part-Year Residents Who File a Joint Return With a Hawaii Resident on Form N-11. If at the end of the taxable year you were a nonresident (but you were a U.S. resident) or a part-year resident who is married to a full-year Hawaii resident, you may choose to file a joint return with your resident spouse. By filing a joint return, however, you and your spouse will be taxed on your combined worldwide income for the entire year. Special Rule for Nonresidents or Part-Year Residents Who File a Joint Return With a Part-Year Resident on Form N-15. If at the end of the taxable year you were a nonresident (but you were a U.S. resident) or a part-year resident who is married to a part-year resident, you may choose to file a joint return with your part-year resident spouse. By filing a joint return, you and your spouse will be taxed on your combined worldwide income for the period in which the part-year resident is a Hawaii resident. Page 7 Special Rule for Nonresident Aliens and Dual-Status Aliens. Generally, a married couple cannot file a joint return if either spouse is a nonresident alien at any time during the year. However, if you were a nonresident alien or a dual-status alien and were married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of 2023, you can elect to be treated as a resident alien and file a joint federal return. See federal Publication 519 for details. If you and your spouse have made that election on your federal return, you also may choose to file a joint Hawaii return. By filing a joint return, you and your spouse will be taxed on your combined worldwide income. Married Filing Separate Return If you are married and file a separate return, you generally report only your own income, exemptions, deductions, and credits. Generally, you are responsible only for the tax on your own income. However, you will usually pay more tax than if you use another filing status for which you qualify. Also, if you file a separate return, you cannot take the student loan interest deduction or the earned income tax credit. You also cannot take the standard deduction if your spouse itemizes deductions. If you file a separate return, write your spouse’s full name in the space after oval 3. Also write the first four letters of your spouse’s last name and your spouse’s social security number in the boxes provided. If your spouse does not file a Hawaii tax return, you may be able to claim the exemption for your spouse. See the instructions for line 6b. If you were married in 2023, had a child living with you, and lived apart from your spouse during the last six months of 2023, you may be able to file as Head of Household. See Married persons who live apart on this page. Special Rule for Nonresident Aliens and Dual-Status Aliens. Married nonresident aliens must file separate returns. However, if you were a nonresident alien or a dual-status alien and were married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of 2023, you can elect to be treated as a resident alien and file a joint federal return. See federal Publication 519 for details. If you and your spouse have made that election on your federal return, you also may choose to file a joint Hawaii return. By filing a joint return, you and your spouse will be taxed on your combined worldwide income. Head of Household This filing status is for unmarried individuals who provide a home for certain other persons. You are considered unmarried for this purpose if any of the following applies. • You were legally separated according to your state’s law under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance at the end of 2023. But if, at the end of 2023, your divorce was not final (an interlocutory decree), you are considered married. • You are married but lived apart from your spouse for the last six months of 2023 and you meet the other rules under Married persons who live apart on this page. • You are married to a nonresident alien at any time during the year and you do not choose to treat him or her as a resident alien.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
