Form MO W-4 is completed so you can have as much take-home pay as possible without an income tax liability due to the state of Missouri
when you file your return. Deductions and exemptions reduce the amount of your taxable income. If your income is less than the total of your personal
exemption plus your standard deduction, you should mark Exempt on Line 7 above. The following amounts of your annual Missouri adjusted gross
income will not be taxed by the state of Missouri when you file your individual income tax return.

Married Filing Combined
Head of Household
$2,100 personal exemption
$6,200 standard deduction
$8,300 Total
$ 4,200 personal exemption

$16,600 Combined Total (For both spouses)
$ 3,500 personal exemption
$ 9,100 standard deduction
$12,600 Total
+ $1,200 for each dependent

+ $1,200 for each dependent
+ up to $10,000 for federal tax
+ $1,200 for each dependent
+ up to $5,000 for federal tax
Items to Remember:
If your filing status is married filing combined and your spouse works, do
not claim an exemption on Form MO W-4 for your spouse.
If you and your spouse have dependents, please be sure only one
of you claim the dependents on your Form MO W-4. If both spouses
claim the dependents as an allowance on Form MO W-4, it may cause
you to owe additional Missouri income tax when you fileyour return.
If you have more than one employer, you should claim a smaller number
or no allowances on each Form MO W-4 filed with employers other than
your principal employer so the amount withheld will be closer to your
amount of total tax.
Mail to: Taxation Division
If you itemize your deductions, instead of using the standard deduction,
the amount not taxed by Missouri may be a greater or lesser amount.
If you are claiming an Exempt status due to the Military Spouses
Residency Relief Act you must provide one of the following to your
employer: Leave and Earnings Statement of the non-resident military
servicemember, Form W-2 issued to the nonresident military
servicemember, a military identification card, or specific military orders
received by the servicemember. You must also provide verification of
residency such as a copy of your state income tax return filed in your
state of residence, a property tax receipt from the state of residence, a
current drivers license, vehicle registration or voter ID card.
