Missouri Income Tax Exemption for Nonresident Military Spouses

Missouri Department of Revenue
Full exemption from Missouri income tax on wages earned in Missouri

If you are the nonresident spouse of a nonresident service member who is stationed in Missouri under military orders, the wages you earn in Missouri are exempt from Missouri income tax. You still owe tax, if any is due, to your state of residence. For income tax purposes you may choose your service member's state of residence, your own state of residence, or your service member's permanent duty station.

How to apply

There is nothing to apply for. Do not report your Missouri wages as Missouri income, and ask your employer to stop Missouri withholding. If Missouri tax was already withheld, file a Missouri return to claim the refund.

What you'll need

Your marriage certificate, your service member's orders assigning them to Missouri, and proof of the state of residence you are claiming.

Eligibility

  • You are the spouse of a service member who is not a Missouri resident
  • Your service member is stationed in Missouri under military orders
  • You are not a Missouri resident
  • You earned wages in Missouri
