Missouri Income Tax Overview

Missouri runs a progressive income tax administered by the state Department of Revenue, with rates that rise through a series of brackets to a top marginal rate of 4.7%. The brackets are narrow, so taxable income above roughly $8,000 already sits in the highest tier, meaning the effective rate for most working residents lands close to that ceiling rather than far below it. A standard deduction (set at $16,100 for single filers, matching the federal amount) comes off first.

This tax stacks on top of, and is separate from, your federal income tax: the IRS taxes you at rates from 10% to 37%, and Missouri then taxes the same income at its own lower schedule. Residents owe Missouri tax on all income; nonresidents owe it only on income earned in the state. Missouri does offer a deduction tied to federal tax paid and other state-specific adjustments, which is why your Missouri taxable income rarely equals your federal figure. Returns are filed on Form MO-1040, generally due in mid-April alongside the federal return.

Missouri Income Tax FAQ

What is Missouri's income tax rate for 2026?
Missouri applies a progressive rate schedule that tops out at 4.7%. Because the brackets are compressed, income above roughly $8,000 is taxed at that top marginal rate, so a typical salary is mostly taxed near 4.7% rather than at the lower entry rates. The Department of Revenue can lower the top rate further in future years if state revenue triggers in law are met.
Who has to file a Missouri income tax return?
Missouri residents generally must file if they are required to file a federal return and have Missouri-source or worldwide income above the filing threshold. Nonresidents and part-year residents file on Missouri income they earned while working in the state, using Form MO-1040 with the nonresident schedule. Active-duty military and certain retirees may qualify for income that Missouri does not tax.
Does Missouri tax come on top of federal tax?
Yes. Federal and Missouri income taxes are entirely separate systems. The IRS taxes your income at federal brackets up to 37%, and Missouri then taxes largely the same income at its own progressive schedule topping out at 4.7%. Missouri lets you deduct a share of the federal income tax you paid, 35% of it at AGI up to $25,000 falling to 5% at $100,001 to $125,000 and nothing above that (capped at $5,000, $10,000 on a joint return), so your Missouri taxable income is usually computed differently from your federal taxable income.
Does Missouri tax Social Security and retirement income?
Missouri has moved to exempt Social Security benefits from state income tax, and it offers deductions for certain public and private pension income, subject to the rules the Department of Revenue sets each year. This makes Missouri relatively favorable for retirees compared with states that fully tax retirement income. Other income, such as wages, interest, and investment gains, remains subject to the regular progressive rates up to 4.7%.
