For the federal tax return only active duty pay while you were in a combat zone is nontaxable.
But the Missouri state provides a deduction for military income earned as a member of the active duty component of the Armed Forces of the United States.
This deduction is available for the amount of pay received while:
- ordered to federal active duty status under 10 USC or 32 USC, or
- participating in Annual Training (typically 2 weeks a year).
Therefore, for the Missouri state return all taxable pay received while considered active duty will be entered for the Active Duty Pay Deduction. You can find this as ToddL99 mentioned above.
