2021 Missouri Income Tax Reference Guide Missouri Department of Revenue Assistance with Preparing Your Tax Return In past years, the Missouri Department of Revenue was able to offer a limited amount of walk-in service to taxpayers who needed assistance in preparing their tax returns. Although that service is no longer offered by the State of Missouri, there are a large number of volunteer organizations providing tax assistance to elderly or lower income taxpayers. In fact, in recent years, the volunteer services at dozens of locations around the state provided assistance to many more taxpayers than the State’s seven locations were able to handle. The Department of Revenue is coordinating with the volunteer providers in an attempt to get the word out to everyone where they should go for walk-in assistance. If you need assistance with return preparation, you may contact a local volunteer group. You will find a larger volume of volunteer centers open during the filing season, which is typically January through April. To locate a volunteer group near you that offers return preparation assistance, call 800-906-9887 or 888-227-7669.

The following information is to be used as a quick reference for determining the minimum income level that, when reached, would require a taxpayer to file both Federal and Mis­souri Income Tax returns. Section 143.481, RSMo, states the filing requirements of a Missouri resident and nonresident, which includes in it the requirement to file a federal income tax return. Marital Status

Gross Income Single

$ 12,550 Single (Over 65)

$ 14,250 Married Filing Jointly

$ 25,100 Married Filing Jointly (1 over 65)

$ 26,450 Married Filing Jointly (Both over 65)

$ 18,800 Head of Household (over 65)

$ 20,500 Married Filing Separate

$ 5 Filing Requirements A taxpayer is not required to file a Missouri return if they are not required to file a federal return. If a taxpayer is required to file a federal return, they may not have to file a Missouri return if: • they are a resident and have less than $1,200 of Missouri adjusted gross income; • they are a nonresident with less than $600 of Missouri income; or • their Missouri adjusted gross income is less than the amount of their standard

deduction. Note: If a taxpayer is not required to file a Missouri return, but received a Form W-2 stating they had Missouri tax withheld, they must file their Missouri return to get a refund of their Missouri withholding. If they are not required to file a Missouri return and do not anticipate an increase in income, they may change their Form MO W-4 to “exempt” so their employer will not withhold Missouri tax. Attention: If a taxpayer is claimed as a dependent on another person’s return, the standard deduction is the greater of $1,100 or the earned income for the year plus $350 up to the standard deduction amount. – 1 – Minimum Filing Requirements

– 2 – Selecting the Correct Return I. Form MO-1040 (long form) must be used if:

• Form MO-TC (Miscellaneous tax credits

claimed) is used;

• Any Missouri modifications claimed other than a state income tax refund subtraction;

• Taxpayer is claiming the following: Long Term Care, Healthcare Sharing Ministry, Military income, Bring Jobs Home,

Transportation Facilities, First-Time Home Buyers Deduction, or Long Term Dignity Savings Account Deduction; • Taxpayer owes a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax;

• Taxpayer is filing an amended return;

• Taxpayer owes recapture tax on low

income housing credit;

• Taxpayer owes tax on a lump sum

distribution included on Federal Form 1040

or Federal Form 1040-SR, Line 16;

• Taxpayer claims a pension, Social Security

or Social Security Disability;

• Payment is made with Form MO-60;

• Taxpayer is a fiscal year filer. II. Form MO-PTC* must be used if:

Taxpayer is not filing an individual income

tax return (Form MO-1040) and qualifies for a

property tax credit;

* Form MO-PTC should be filed only if not

filing a federal or a state individual income

tax return; otherwise, use Form MO-PTS

with Form MO-1040.

* If taxpayer has negative income, this form

cannot be used. Exception: If the taxpayer’s filing status on Form MO-1040 is married filing combined, but the primary and secondary taxpayers lived at different addresses the entire year, they may file a separate Form MO-PTC. (Example: One spouse lives in a nursing home or residential care facility while the other spouse remains in the home the entire year.) If filing a separate Form MO-PTC, the individual cannot take the $2,000 deduction on Line 7 and cannot calculate the Property Tax Credit on the Form MO-PTS.

– 3 – III. Form MO-PTS must be used if:

• Filing Form MO-1040 (long form) and

claiming the Property Tax Credit. IV. Form MO-1040A may be used if:

• Any filing status; but only one earned income in Missouri;

• Standard or itemized deduction is

claimed;

• Taxpayer’s state income tax refund is

included in their federal income (if

itemized last year);

• Resident, nonresident, or part-year

resident with 100 percent Missouri

source income;

• tax credits or modifications to income are

not claimed.

The starting income on the Missouri tax return is the federal adjusted gross income from Federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR, Line 11. To compute Missouri adjusted gross income, any addition or subtraction modifications to federal adjusted gross income must be computed first on Form MO-A, Part 1. The addition and subtraction modifications are entered on Form MO-1040, Lines 2 and 4 respectively. Examples of addition modifications are interest on state and local obliga­tions other than Missouri, nonqualified distributions received from a quali­fied 529 plan (education program) not used for qualified education expenses, nonqualified distributions received from a qualified ABLE Program not used for qualified disability expenses, nonresident property tax, and addition adjustments reported from partnerships, fiduciaries, and S corporations of interest in state and local obligations other than Missouri. Examples of subtraction modifications are military retirement benefits, exempt federal interest, state tax refund, exempt contributions made to a qualified 529 plan (education program), exempt contributions made to a qualified ABLE Program, and railroad retirement, both Tier I and Tier II. Note: The subtraction for married individuals with contributions made to a qualified 529 plan is no longer limited to $8,000 per taxpayer. The $16,000 qualified subtraction can be used entirely by the primary individual, secondary individual, or split between both individuals. The following is a list of states that have no state income tax or do not allow property taxes to be deducted. Property taxes paid to these states will need to be added back on the MO-A, Part 1, Line 5.

• Alaska

• Ohio

• Florida

• Pennsylvania

• Hawaii

• South Dakota

• Illinois

• Tennessee

• Indiana

• Texas

• Massachusetts

• Washington

• Nevada

• West Virginia

• New Hampshire

• Wisconsin

• New Jersey

• Wyoming – 4 – Missouri Adjusted Gross Income

Missouri law allows for a deduction for public pensions, private pensions, social security and social security disability payments on the 2021 Missouri income tax return, if certain income limitations are met. Complete Form MO-A, Part 3, enter the total of the public pension, private pension, social security and social security disability exemptions on Form MO-1040, line 8. Public Pensions Public pensions are pensions received from any federal, state, or local government. If a taxpayer has questions about whether their pension is a public pension, they will need to contact their pension administrator. Note: Do not include military pension income in the total amount of public pension. Military pension is reported as a subtraction modification on Form MO-A, Part 1, Line 10. The income limitations are as follows:

Single, Head of Household, Married Filing Separate,

and Qualifying Widow(er)........................................................$85,000

Married Filing Combined........................................................$100,000 The total public pension exemption is limited to the maximum social security benefit allowed. In the 2021 tax year this amount is $39,365 per taxpayer. Private Pension Private pensions are pensions received from private sources. If a taxpayer has questions about whether their pension is a private pension, they will need to contact their pension administrator. The income limitations are as follows:

Single, Head of Household, and Qualifying Widow(er)...........$25,000

Married Filing Combined..........................................................$32,000

Married Filing Separate...........................................................$16,000 The total maximum private pension exemption per taxpayer is $6,000. Note: The taxable portion of social security benefits is not used for the purpose of determining income limitations for the public and private pensions. Railroad retirement does not qualify as a public pension unless you are 100 percent disabled. If a taxpayer’s income exceeds the limitations for receiving the allowable public or private pension exemption, the taxpayer may still qualify for a partial pension exemption. The pension exemption must be decreased by the amount the taxpayer’s income exceeds the income limitations. The public or private pension exemption is reduced by one dollar for every dollar that the taxpayer’s income exceeds the limitation. – 5 – Pensions

Social Security and Social Security Disability Exemption 100 Percent Individuals may take an exemption for social security and social security disability benefits. The 2021 exemption amount is 100 percent of the taxable amount. To qualify the taxpayer must be 62 years of age or older or receiving social security disability benefits. If the taxpayer is qualifying based on being over 62, but not over 64 the 62 through 64 box will need to be checked or the exemption will be disallowed. The income limitations are as follows:

Single, Head of Household, Married Filing Separate,

and Qualifying Widow(er)........................................................$85,000

Married Filing Combined........................................................$100,000 If a taxpayer’s income exceeds the limitations for receiving the allowable social security or social security disability exemption, the taxpayer may still qualify for a partial exemption. The social security and social security disability exemption must be decreased by the amount the taxpayer’s income exceeds the income limitation. The exemption is reduced by one dollar for every dollar that the taxpayer’s income exceeds the limitation. – 6 –

Missouri Itemized Deductions Missouri law requires a taxpayer to start with the federal itemized deductions reported on Schedule A of the federal return. If a taxpayer itemizes deductions on their federal return, they may itemize deductions for Missouri or take the standard deduction, whichever is to their advantage. If the taxpayer does not itemize the deductions on the federal return, they will not be allowed to itemize on the Missouri return. If the taxpayer is required to itemize on the federal return, they must itemize on the Missouri return. Additions to Federal Itemized Deductions • Social Security Tax • Medicare Tax from W-2’s and Federal Form 8959 • Railroad Retirement Tax (Tier I and Tier II) • Self-employment Tax claimed on Federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR, Schedule 2, Part 2, Line 4 less Schedule 1, Part 2, Line 14 • Federal Form 1040NR, Line 23b less Schedule 1, Line 14 and Form 8959, Line 13 Subtractions from Federal Itemized Deductions The amount of state and local income tax claimed on the Federal Schedule A, less any earnings tax included in that amount. Other Deductions Long-Term Care Insurance Deduction If a taxpayer paid premiums for qualified long-term care insurance in 2021, they may be eligible for a deduction on their Missouri income tax return. Qualified long-term care insurance is defined as insurance coverage for period of at least 12 months for long-term care expenses should such care become necessary because of chronic health conditions or physical disabilities including cognitive impairment or the loss of functional capacity, thus rendering an individual unable to care for themselves without the help of another person. Health Care Sharing Ministries If a taxpayer made contributions to a qualifying health care sharing ministry in 2021, they may be eligible for a deduction on their Missouri income tax return. A health care sharing ministry is defined as a faith-based, nonprofit organization that assists members who have financial, physical, or medical needs. To qualify, the taxpayer must be a member of a health care sharing ministry and not have deducted the same amounts on their federal return. Military Income Deduction If a taxpayer has military income earned as a member of any active duty component or inactive duty component of National Guard Inactive Duty Training (IDT), National Guard Annual Training (AT) or Reserve components of the Armed Itemized Deductions – 8 –

– 9 – Force of the United States, they may be eligible for a military income deduction on their Missouri income tax return. This amount must be included in the taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income and not previously taken as a deduction.

Bring Jobs Home If you or your spouse accrued expenses associated with relocating a business to Missouri, you may be eligible for this deduction (if approved by the Department of Economic Development). The deduction is equal to 50 percent of the eligible insourcing expenses and cannot exceed your Missouri adjusted gross income. For additional information please visit ded.mo.gov or contact the Missouri Department of Economic Development at P.O. Box 118, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0118. Transportation Facilities Deductions If approved by the Missouri Department of Economic Development, three new deductions related to transportation facilities can be claimed on the Missouri return. These deductions are the: Water Port Facility or Airport Cargo, (Section 143.2105, RSMo), International Trade Facility Cargo (Section 143.2110, RSMo), and Qualified Trade Activities (Section 143.2115, RSMo). Note: The Qualified Trade Activities deduction cannot exceed 50 percent of the taxpayer’s Missouri adjusted gross income. First-Time Home Buyers Deduction Starting with the 2019 tax year, a deduction for 50 percent of a contribution to a First-Time Home Buyer Bank account is allowed. The amount of contribution deduction to the first-time home buyer account(s), cannot exceed $800 for an individual filer or $1,600 for a married filing combined return. Interest accruing on the amount in the bank account is also exempt from Missouri income tax. Long Term Dignity Savings Account Beginning in tax year 2021, taxpayers may claim a deduction for 100% of contributions made to a Long Term Dignity Savings Account. The maximum deduction is $4,000 per taxpayer ($8,000, if married filing combined), not to exceed the taxpayers Missouri adjusted gross income. Attach an affidavit verifying the amount claimed upon filing. Resident and Nonresident Information Form MO-NRI Form MO-NRI is a supplement to the Form MO-1040 and may be used by a nonresident, part-year resident, or military personnel. (It may be filed by itself under the condition noted in bold print below.) Form MO-NRI allows a nonresident, part-year resident, or military personnel to allocate income on the basis of income earned in Missouri divided by income from all sources. This results in a percentage to be used to 8calculate the Missouri income tax liability. Form MO-NRI includes information for military personnel. Military personnel who are required to file, will need to file a Form MO-NRI with Form MO-1040. Military personnel who are stationed in Missouri, but not required

– 10 – to file a return, can inform the Department of Revenue electronically that a Missouri income tax return is not required for a particular tax year. The online application is located on the Department’s website at: dor.mo.gov. If informing the Department electronically is not possible, complete a Form MO-NRI and sign the last page. The Department of Revenue will record the information from the completed MO-NRI. All income earned in Missouri is taxable to Missouri. Form MO-CR Form MO-CR is a supplement to the Form MO-1040 and may be used by a resident of Missouri who has income from another state and is required to file a return in that state. Form MO-CR allows a credit for income taxes paid to the other state against the Missouri income tax liability. Note: A part-year resident may use Form MO-CR if the part-year resident elects to file a Missouri return as a resident. The MO-NRI or MO-CR cannot be utilized for the same taxpayer at the same time. However, if filing a combined return, it is possible that one spouse could use a Form MO-NRI and the other, Form MO-CR. Example: Taxpayer moves to Missouri during the year and marries a Missouri resident. The Missouri resident has income from another state. The part-year resident elects to file using Form MO-NRI, but the Missouri resident must use Form MO-CR as he or she was a full-year resident of Missouri. Access dor.mo.gov for more information and examples. Military Information

Military — General Information The tax status of military personnel under the Missouri Income Tax Law and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act is determined by home of record. Military — Home of Record — Not Missouri If the military servicemember’s home of record is a state other than Missouri, his or her domicile is in the other state. If the military servicemember is stationed in Missouri, then he or she is not subject to Missouri income tax on his or her military pay nor on any interest or dividend income received from personal investments. Even if the military servicemember is not required to pay Missouri tax, he or she should file a Form MO-NRI, Missouri Non-Resident Income Percentage, to verify the military servicemember is not subject to Missouri income tax. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, H.R.100, prohibits states from including the military income of a nonresident servicemember when determining the individual income tax rate for either the servicemember (or the servicemember’s spouse on a combined return).

– 11 – If a nonresident military servicemember or his or her spouse earns $600 or more of non-military income while in Missouri, that portion of income is taxable by Missouri and a Form MO-1040, Missouri Individual Income Tax Return must be filed. Check the appropriate box and enter the nonresident military income on Form MO-A, Part 1, Line 11. Military Spouses Residency Relief Act: Spouse of servicemember stationed in Missouri: If the spouse of a servicemember is only in this state because of military orders, their income is not taxable. Complete form MO-A, Part 1, Line 10.

Military — Home of Record — Missouri If the military servicemember’s home of record is Missouri, his or her domicile is Mis­souri. In this case, the person is considered Missouri domiciled and is subject to Missouri income taxes on all income from whatever source including his or her military pay. If the Missouri domiciled military person enters or leaves the armed forces during the year and resides in Missouri prior to entering the military or after leaving the military, the military person’s total income (including military pay) is taxable to Missouri. If the military servicemember’s home of record is Missouri, his or her domicile is Missouri. In this case, the person is considered Missouri domiciled and is subject to Missouri income taxes on all income from whatever source including his or her military pay. The only exception is if the Missouri domiciled individual files a sworn statement (Form MO-NRI) that he or she: (a) maintained no permanent place of abode in Missouri during the tax year; (b) did maintain a permanent place of abode elsewhere; and (c) did not spend more than 30 days of the year, for which they are filing, in

Missouri; then the Missouri domiciled individual is considered a “nonresident” for tax purposes. With a “nonresident” tax status the individual does not pay Missouri income tax on his or her military pay or on interest and dividend income from personal investments. All Missouri domiciled military personnel who wish to claim a “nonresident” status should file an income tax return (Form MO-1040) each year and enclose with that return Form MO-NRI, Missouri Income Percentage. If the taxpayer’s spouse is stationed with the taxpayer outside of Missouri and Missouri is their state of residence, any income earned by the spouse is taxable to Missouri. If the spouse earns more than $1,200, a Missouri return must be filed. Note: If the military person is stationed in Missouri with a Missouri home of record, all income including military pay is taxable. If the military person and their spouse are Missouri residents and the spouse remains in Missouri more than 30 days while the military person is stationed outside of Missouri, the total income (including military pay) is taxable to Missouri.

– 12 – Domicile - Defined “Domicile” is the place which an individual intends to be his or her permanent home; a place to which he or she intends to return to whenever he or she may be absent. A domicile, once established, continues until the individual moves to a new location with true intentions of making his or her fixed and permanent home there. An individual can have only one domicile. Active Duty Military Deduction Taxpayers claiming the military income deduction should include a copy of all Leave and Earnings Statement(s) that validate how long they were on active duty for training or annual training and the amount earned on active duty for training or on annual training. Taxpayers may not take the deduction for the amount of pay received while on State Active Duty (shown on a Form W-2) or Inactive Duty Training (shown on a Leave and Earnings Statement). Reserves and Inactive Duty Military Deduction Military personnel may deduct a portion of their income earned from the following sources from their Missouri adjusted gross income:

• National Guard Inactive Duty Training (IDT)

• National Guard Annual Training (AT)

• Reserve components of the Armed Forces. The following reflects the percentage of Military reserve or inactive duty income that may be deducted in each applicable tax year: 2020 - 20% 2021 - 40% 2022 - 60% 2023 - 80% 2024 - 100% Military Online Form
