DO YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT FORM?

Electronic Filing Options for Federal
and State E-File - Missouri, in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), offers a joint federal and state filing
of individual income tax returns. There
are two ways that you may e-file your
federal and state income tax returns:
1)	 You can electronically file your federal and state returns
	 online from websites provided by approved software
	 providers. Many providers offer free filing if you meet certain
	 conditions. A list of approved providers can be found at
	 dor.mo.gov/taxation/individual/tax-types/income/efile.html.
	

The Individual Income Tax Return (Form MO-1040) is Missouri’s
long form. It is a universal form that can be used by any individual
taxpayer.
If you do not have any of the special filing situations described
below and you choose to file a paper tax return, try filing a short
form (Form MO-1040A). The short forms are less complicated
and provide only the necessary information for specific tax filing
situations.

2)	You can have a tax preparer (if approved by the IRS)
electronically file your federal and state returns for you,
usually for a fee. A list of approved tax preparers can be found
at dor.mo.gov/taxation/individual/tax-types/income/efile.html.

You must file Form MO-1040 if at least one of the following applies:
1.	 You or your spouse claim or file:
		 a. 	 A pension, social security/social security disability, or
			 property tax credit and you also have other special filing
			 situations;
		 b.	 Miscellaneous Income Tax Credits (taken on Form MO-TC);
		 c.	 A credit for payment made with the filing of an Application 	
			 for Extension of Time to File (Form MO-60);
		 d. 	 Income from another state;
		 e. 	 An amended return;
		 f.	 A nonresident entertainer or a professional athlete;
		 g. 	 A fiscal year return;
		 h.	 A nonresident military servicemember stationed in Missouri	
			 and you or your spouse earned non-military income while in
			 Missouri;
		 i. 	 A deduction for other federal tax (from Federal Form
			 1040, Federal Schedule 2, and Federal Schedule 3);
			 • Schedule 2, Part 1, Line 3;
			 • Schedule 2, Part 2, Lines 8, 10, 14, and 15;
			 • Any recapture taxes included on Schedule 2, Part 2, Line 21;
			 • Schedule 3, Part 1, Line 1;
		 j. 	 A Health Care Sharing Ministry deduction;
		 k.	 Any Military income earned from:
			 *Active Duty
		 *Inactive Duty
		 l. 	 The Bring Jobs Home tax deduction;
		 m.	Farmland sold, rented, leased, or crop-shared to a beginning 	
			 farmer deduction;
		 n. 	 First Time Home Buyers deduction;
		 o.	 Foster Parent tax deduction; or
		 p.	 Long Term Dignity Savings Account deduction;
		 q.	 Missouri Working Family Tax Credit.

BENEFITS OF ELECTRONIC FILING
Convenience: You can electronically file 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. If you electronically file, DO NOT mail a copy of your
return.
Security: Your tax return information is encrypted and
transmitted over secure lines to ensure confidentiality.
Accuracy: Electronically filed returns have fewer errors than
paper returns.
Direct Deposit: You can have your refund directly deposited into
your bank account.
Proof of Filing: An acknowledgment is issued when your return is
received and accepted.

ASSISTANCE WITH PREPARING YOUR
TAX RETURN
There are a large number of volunteer groups in Missouri
providing tax assistance to elderly or lower income taxpayers. To
locate a volunteer group near you that offers return preparation
assistance: call 800-906-9887, 888-227-7669 or visit
irs.gov/individuals.
You will find a larger volume of volunteer centers open during
the filing season, which is typically January through April.

2-D BARCODE RETURNS
If you plan to file a paper return, you should consider 2-D barcode
filing. The software encodes all your tax information into a 2-D
barcode, which allows your return to be processed with fewer
errors compared to traditional paper returns. If you use software to
prepare your return, check our website for approved 2-D barcode
software companies. Also, check out the Department’s fill-in forms
that automatically calculate and provide your return with a 2-D
barcode. You can have your refund directly deposited into your
bank account when you use the Department’s fill-in forms.
If your form has a 2-D barcode, mail your return to the Department of
Revenue address as indicated below:

WHEN TO FILE
Calendar year taxpayers must file no later than April 15, 2024.
Late filing will subject taxpayers to charges for interest and
addition to tax. Fiscal year filers must file no later than the 15th
day of the fourth month following the close of their taxable year.

This information is for guidance only and does not
state the complete law.

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE

You do not have to file a Missouri return if you are not required
to file a federal return. If you are required to file a federal return,
you may not have to file a Missouri return if you:

You are not required to file an extension if you do not expect to
owe additional income tax or if you anticipate re­ceiv­ing a refund.
If you wish to file a Missouri extension, and do not expect to owe
Missouri income tax, you may file an extension by filing Form MO-60.
An auto­matic extension of time to file will be granted until October
15, 2024.

	a.	 are a resident and have less than $1,200 of Missouri
		 adjusted gross income;
	b.	 are a nonresident with less than $600 of Missouri
		income; or
	c.	 have Missouri adjusted gross income less than the
		 amount of your standard deduction for your
		filing status.

If you receive an extension of time to file your federal income tax
return, you will automatically be granted an extension of time to
file your Missouri income tax return. Select the box at the top
of the Form MO-1040 indicating you have an approved federal
extension and attach a copy of your Application for Automatic
Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return
(Federal Form 4868) with your Missouri income tax return when
you file.

Note: If you are not required to file a Mis­souri return, but you
received a Wage and Tax Statement (Form W-2) stating you
had Missouri tax withheld, file your Missouri return to claim a
refund of your Missouri withholding. If you are not required
to file a Missouri return and you do not anticipate an increase
in income, you may change your Employee Withholding
Allowance Certificate (Form MO W-4) to “exempt” so your
employer will not withhold Missouri tax.

If you expect to owe Missouri income tax, file Form MO-60 with
your payment by the original due date of the return.

FILING REQUIREMENTS

Remember: An extension of time to file does not extend the
time to pay. A 5 percent addition to tax will apply if the tax is
not paid by the original return’s due date.

LATE FILING AND PAYMENT
Simple interest is charged on all delinquent taxes. The rate will be
updated annually and can be found on our website at
dor.mo.gov/taxation/statutory-interest-rates.html.
For timely filed returns, an addition to tax of 5 percent (of the
unpaid tax) is added if the tax is not paid by the return’s due date.
For returns not filed by the due date, an addition to tax of 5
percent per month (of the unpaid tax) is added for each month the
return is not filed. The addition to tax cannot exceed 25 percent.
If you are unable to pay the tax owed in full on the due date,
please visit dor.mo.gov/taxation/payment-options/ for your
payment options. If you are mailing a partial payment, please use
the Individual Income Tax Payment Voucher (Form MO-1040V)
found on page 50.

PART-YEAR RESIDENT

entire year by using the Credit for Income Taxes Paid to Other States
or Political Subdivisions (Form MO-CR) to claim a credit for
taxes paid to another state on the income earned while living in
Missouri. Or a part-year resident may use Missouri Income Percentage
(Form MO-NRI) to determine their income based on the income
earned while living in Missouri.

MILITARY PERSONNEL
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act prevents military personnel
from being taxed on military income by any state other than
their home of record state. The Military Spouses Residency Relief
Act prevents income earned by servicemembers’ spouses from
being taxed by any state other than their state of residence. If
you are a member of any component of the Armed Forces of
the United States, or National Guard you may be eligible for an
income deduction. See instructions for Lines 18 and 19 on pages
8 and 9 for more information or visit dor.mo.gov/military/.
Missouri Home of Record
If you entered the Armed Forces in Missouri, your home of record
is presumed to be Missouri and you are presumed to be
domiciled in Missouri.
Missouri Home of Record (Stationed Outside Missouri)
You are considered a nonresident for tax purposes if you:
	 a.	 maintained no permanent living quarters in Missouri
		 during the year;
	b.	 maintained permanent living quarters elsewhere; and

	c.	 did not spend more than 30 days of the year in Missouri.
Therefore, your military pay, interest & dividend income are not taxable
to Missouri. Complete Form MO-NRI and attach to Form MO-1040.
Note: If your spouse remains in Missouri more than 30 days
while you are stationed outside Missouri, your total income, including
your military pay, is taxable to Missouri. If you are the spouse of a
military servicemember, are living outside of Missouri and Missouri is
your state or residence, any income you earn is taxable to Missouri. If
you earn more than $1,200 you must file Form MO-1040.
Missouri Home of Record (Stationed in Missouri)
If your home of record is Missouri and you are stationed in
Missouri due to military orders, all of your income, including your
military pay, is taxable to Missouri.
Missouri Home of Record (Entering or Leaving the Military)
If you are entering or leaving the military, Missouri is your home of
record, and you spend more than 30 days in Missouri, your total
income, including your military pay, is taxable to Missouri.
Non-Missouri Home of Record (Stationed in Missouri)
The military pay of a nonresident military personnel stationed in
Missouri due to military orders is not taxable to Missouri. If you are
a servicemember and earned only military income while stationed
in Missouri, complete a Military No Return Required online form
by visiting mytax.mo.gov/rptp/portal/business/military-noreturn.
If you are a military servicemember and earned $600 or more in
Missouri in non-military income, this non-military income is taxable
to Missouri and cannot be subtracted from your federal adjusted
gross income on your Form MO-1040.
If you are the spouse of a military servicemember, are in Missouri
because the military servicemember is stationed in Missouri on
military orders, and your state of residence is another state, any
income earned by you is not taxable to Missouri. However, if you
earn more than $600 you must file Form MO-1040 and provide
verification of your state of residence. Acceptable verification may
include any of the following from your state of residence: a copy of
your 2023 state income tax return, 2023 property tax receipts,
current driver license, vehicle registration or voter identification
card. You must report the military pay of the servicemember and
your income on Form MO-A, Part 1, Line 11, as a “Military
(nonresident)” subtraction to your federal adjusted gross income.
For additional information, visit dor.mo.gov/military/.

30) is computed on all your income, and may then be reduced by a
resident credit (Line 31), or by a Missouri income percentage (Line
32). The result is a prorated Missouri tax liability based only on the
income earned in Missouri. See pages 9 and 10, Lines 31 and 32.

DECLARATION OF ESTIMATED TAX
Residents and nonresidents are required to make a declaration of
estimated tax if their Missouri estimated tax is expected to be at
least $100. If you are required to make estimated tax payments,
you can submit a payment online at: dor.mo.gov/ or remit a
payment with an Estimated Tax Declaration for Individuals (Form
MO-1040ES).

ADDRESS CHANGE
Address change requests should be mailed to: Department of
Revenue, P.O. Box 2200, Jefferson City, MO 65105-2200. This

ADJUSTED GROSS
INCOME

FORM MO-1040
Important: Complete your federal return first. If you are filing a
fiscal year return, indicate the beginning and ending dates on the
line provided near the top of Form MO-1040.

Missouri requires the division of income between spouses.
Taxpayers filing a combined return pay less tax by dividing the
income between spouses and then determining the tax amount
for each person’s income. You must begin your Missouri return
with your total federal adjusted gross income, even if you have
income from a state other than Missouri.

FEDERAL EXTENSION
Select the box at the top of the form indicating you have an
approved federal extension and attach a copy of your
application for federal extension (Federal Form 4868) with your
Missouri Income tax return when you file. Failure to check this
box may result in disallowing the extension.

LINE 1 - FEDERAL ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME
If your filing status is “married filing combined” and both spouses
are reporting income, use the worksheet on page 7 to split
income between you and your spouse. The combined income for
you and your spouse must equal the total federal adjusted gross
income you reported on your federal return. For all other filing
statuses, use the chart below to determine your federal adjusted
gross income.

FILING STATUS
Select the same filing status on your Missouri return as claimed
on the federal return. If on your federal return you selected the
checkbox “Someone can claim you as a dependent,” you will
select “claimed as a dependent” on the Form MO-1040. If on
your federal return you selected the checkbox “Someone can
claim you as a dependent,” and your federal return status is
Married Filing Jointly, you will select the filing status of “married
filing combined” on the Form MO-1040.

If you include loss(es) of $1,000 or more on Line 1, you must
attach a copy of Federal Form 1040 or Federal Form 1040-SR
(pages 1 and 2).

Worksheet for Line 1 - Instructions for Completing the Adjusted Gross Income Worksheet
Missouri law requires a combined return for married couples filing together. A combined return means taxpayers are required to split their
total federal adjusted gross income (including other state income) between spouses when beginning the Missouri return.
Splitting the income can be as easy as adding up your separate Form(s) W-2 and Form 1099. Or it may require allocating to each
spouse the percentage of ownership in jointly held property, such as businesses, farm operations, dividends, interest, rent, and capital
gains or losses. State refunds should be split based on each spouse’s 2022 Missouri tax withheld, minus each spouse’s 2022 tax liability.
The result should be each spouse’s portion of the 2022 refund. Taxable social security benefits must be allocated by each spouse’s share
of the benefits received for the year.
The worksheet below lists income that is included on your federal return, along with federal line references. Find the lines that apply to
your federal return, split the income between you and your spouse, and enter the amounts on the worksheet. When you have completed
the worksheet, transfer the amounts from Line 18 to Form MO-1040, Lines 1Y and 1S.
Note: Remember, the incomes listed separately on Line 18 of this worksheet must equal your total federal adjusted gross income when
added together.

Recapture Tax
If you are required to re­capture a portion of any federal low income
housing credits taken on a low income housing project, you are also
re­quired to recapture a portion of any state credits taken. The state
recapture amount is the proportion of the state credit that equals
the proportion the federal recapture amount bears to the original
federal low income housing credit amount. Attach a copy of your
federal return (pages 1 and 2) and Federal Form 8611.

To calculate the tax credit amount, complete Form MO-WFTC
on page 38 and attach to Form MO-1040, along with a copy of
your Federal Return. If Form MO-WFTC and your Federal Return
are not attached, the credit will be disallowed.
