If you are required to file an MO nonresident state
income tax return because you have MO-sourced income to
report then you will need to include all income (including your spouses military pension) but you will only pay MO
taxes on your MO sourced income.
According to MO Department of Revenue -
Regardless
of where your income was earned or if you are using Form MO-CR or Form MO-NRI,
you must begin the Missouri return with your federal adjusted gross income, as
reported on your federal return. Next, apply all allowable deductions and
compute the tax on all of your income. The tax is then reduced by either the
Missouri resident credit (Form MO-CR) or the Missouri income percentage (Form
MO-NRI). The result for nonresidents is a prorated Missouri income tax based
only on the income earned in Missouri. The result for part-year residents is a
prorated income tax based only on the income earned while a Missouri resident.
