Is Social Security Taxed in Missouri?
Short answer: No. Since tax year 2024, Missouri deducts 100% of federally taxable Social Security for people 62 and older and 100% of Social Security disability benefits, with no income limit. The DOR guidance covers recipients 62+ and SSDI recipients. The deduction is capped at the maximum Social Security benefit ($48,967 for 2026).
Federally, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable depending on your combined income (IRS Pub 915); that part doesn't change by state.
Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
