State tax filing

Missouri does not tax non-resident remote workers who work from outside the state.

 

Missouri Statute Section 143.181 (2)(2) states that the Missouri-source income of a non-resident is income from  "a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in this state."

Therefore the income of a KS resident working remotely in KS for a MO employer is not taxable by MO.  Conversely, the income earned by a MO non-resident from work actually performed in MO is entirely taxable by MO.

A MO non-resident who works both within and without MO during the tax year would apportion his income accordingly.
