Follow these steps:

  1. Open your Missouri return.
  2. Look for a section titled "Take a look at Missouri credits and taxes"
  3. Find "Circuit Breaker Credit."
  4. TurboTax will ask you a series of questions:
  5. Did you own or rent?
  6. What was your total household income (including non-taxable Social Security)?
  7. What were your 2025 property taxes (if you owned) or total rent paid?

 

To qualify for the 2025 tax year (filing in 2026), you must meet the following criteria:

  • Age/Status: You are age 65 or older, OR age 60+ receiving surviving spouse benefits, OR 100% disabled.
  • Residency: You must have been a Missouri resident for the entire year.
  • Income Limits (New for 2026):
    • Homeowners: Household  total income must be $42,200 or less.
    • Renters: Household income must be $38,200 or less.
  • Maximum Credit: You can now receive up to $1,550 (homeowners) or $1,055 (renters).
