State tax filing

The credit does not appear to be available for 2021.  Therefore, all Kansas City, Missouri, residents are required to pay the earnings tax, even if they work outside the city.  Nonresidents are required to pay the earnings tax on income earned within Kansas City, Missouri, city limits. The tax also applies to the net profits of businesses.

 

There is an exception to the earnings tax for military service members.  In this regard, for tax years beginning January 1, 2017 and after, military service pay is exempt from the earnings tax regardless of resident status or Home of Record.  Combat zone and hostile fire/ imminent danger pay are not subject to the earnings tax regardless of tax year, resident status or Home of Record.
