Can You Write Off Missouri state income tax?
Short answer: Missouri's top rate is 4.7%, it stopped taxing Social Security in 2024 and capital gains in 2025, and Kansas City and St. Louis add a 1% earnings tax.
State and local income, sales, and property taxes share one SALT cap ($40,400 for 2026, reduced above about $505,000 of income) and only help if you itemize.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
