Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are a nonresident with no taxable MO income, the only reason you are filing a return is to get a refund of what your employer withheld. Your MO wages are zero. If there was no tax withheld, you would not file a MO return. Please review that you allocated all of your income away from MO since your error indicates that you have MO income listed.

 

 

The MO Instructions on page 3 states:

Note: If you are not required to file a Missouri return, but you received a Wage and Tax Statement (Form W-2) stating you had Missouri tax withheld, file your Missouri return to claim a refund of your Missouri withholding. If you are not required to file a Missouri return and you do not anticipate an increase in income, you may change your Employee Withholding Allowance Certificate (Form MO W-4) to “exempt” so your employer will not withhold Missouri tax.
