General Tax Return Information
Due Date - Individual Returns - April 15, or the same as the IRS.
Extensions - An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay.
- A federal extension automatically extends the time to file the Missouri return if the taxpayer does not expect to owe additional tax. Attach a copy of the federal extension to the Missouri return when filed.
- File Form MO-60, Application for Extension of Time to File, for an automatic six-month extension if the taxpayer expects to have tax due or needs a Missouri extension but not a federal extension. Include payment by the original due date of the return. Form MO-60 is also used to request a longer extension for cause. This form must be mailed.
Driver’s License/Government Issued Photo Identification - Missouri does not require this information to file the tax return.
Filing Status Information
Missouri requires the same filing status used on the Federal unless Federal status is Married Filing Separate, in which case the Missouri filing status can be either Married Filing Separate or Married Filing Separate/Spouse not Filing.
Residency Status Information for Missouri Returns
Residents: A resident is an individual who either maintained a domicile in Missouri or had permanent living quarters in Missouri and spent more than 183 days of the tax year in Missouri.
Nonresidents: Individuals who did not maintain permanent living quarters in Missouri, maintained permanent living quarters elsewhere, and spent 30 days or less of the tax year in Missouri.
Military Personnel/Military Spouses
Residents: Military personnel with a Missouri home of record are subject to Missouri tax on all income, with the exception of a servicemember who:
- maintained no permanent living quarters in Missouri during the year;
- maintained permanent living quarters elsewhere; and
- did not spend more than 30 days of the year in Missouri.
In this case, the servicemember is considered a nonresident for tax purposes and their military pay, interest, and dividend income are not taxable to Missouri. Complete Form MO-NRI and attach to Form MO-1040 filed as a nonresident.
Nonresidents: A nonresident service member stationed in Missouri is not subject to Missouri income tax on his or her military pay. If a nonresident service member earns $600 or more in Missouri non-military pay, that non-military income is taxable on Form MO-1040.
Military spouses: Under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act, a military spouse’s state of residence does not change when moving to a new state to be with a service member stationed there if the residence or domicile is the same for the service member and spouse.
