Deductions & credits

Yes, you are quite correct, while some states have different deduction numbers than the federal deduction, Missouri follows the IRS standard deduction. 

For the 2022 tax year, seniors who are married and filing jointly, the standard deduction for 65 and older is an additional $1,400 each for a total of $28,700.
