Built for Arizona-based productions
Turn messy production expenses into a CPA-ready Arizona film tax credit package.
AZ Film Credit is a prep tool for filmmakers that organizes every receipt, vendor, and payroll line into the exact formats your CPA and the Arizona Film Office expect—so they can review, sign, and submit faster.

How AZ Film Credit works
Designed to slot in between your production accounting and your CPA’s audit, without replacing either.
Create a project & import data
Add your production details, then upload spreadsheets, payroll exports, and receipt PDFs from your bank, card, or accounting software.
Auto-organize & fix what’s flagged
The tool groups expenses into Arizona-eligible categories and flags issues: missing receipts, non-AZ vendors, or unclear descriptions.
Generate a CPA-ready audit package
One click creates a CPA bundle: master ledger, qualified vs non-qualified spend, AZ-only vendor list, and organized receipts—so your CPA can review and sign.
Track your AZ Film Credit package
Use the Status Tracker Portal to follow your production package from intake to final CPA sign-off and submission to the Arizona Commerce Authority.
Typical status flow:
- Draft: You’re still uploading docs.
- Missing Info: CPA has requested additional documents.
- Under CPA Review: CPA is actively reviewing your file.
- Pending Client Decision: CPA needs your confirmation to proceed.
- Completed / Submitted: Package has been approved and submitted.

Frequently asked questions
Does this replace a CPA?
No. AZ Film Credit is a prep and organization tool. Your licensed CPA still reviews, adjusts, and signs the final audit documentation required by the Arizona Film Office.
Can I use this for non-Arizona projects?
The structure is designed for the Arizona Motion Picture Production Program, but the core workflow—organizing expenses, matching receipts, and preparing an audit package—can inform other jurisdictions as well.
Is this an official Arizona Film Office product?
Not yet. AZ Film Credit is designed as a tool filmmakers and CPAs can propose, pilot, or adopt in collaboration with the Film Office to standardize submissions.
