It depends.
You do not have to file a Missouri return if you are not required to file a federal return. If you are required to file a federal return, you may not have to file a Missouri return if:
- you are a resident and have less than $1,200 of Missouri adjusted gross income;
- you are a nonresident with less than $600 of Missouri income; or
- your Missouri adjusted gross income is less than the amount of your standard deduction plus your personal exemption.
