Hello,I moved to Missouri in October 2025 and worked in Kansas through the end of the year. Prior to that, I was a resident of another state.While filing my taxes, I noticed that I am unable to claim both the MO-CR and MO-NRI. The instructions state: “As a part-year resident, you can take either the Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State or the Part-Year/Nonresident Income Percentage Credit on your return.”Because of this limitation, I am unable to receive a tax credit from Missouri for the taxes I paid to Kansas.Currently, I am being taxed by:another state as a part-year resident (for the portion of the year I lived there),Missouri as a part-year (for the portion of the year I lived there due to the MO-NRI)Kansas as a nonresident (since I worked in Kansas and unable to get a tax credit for this due to unable to file both MO-NRI and MO-CR).Since I cannot claim the credit for taxes paid to Kansas, it appears that I am effectively being taxed on the same income by both Missouri and Kansas. I am essentially paying extra because I live in one state and work in another. If I had chosen to live and work in MO. I wouldnt have been paying this "extra" tax to KS. Anyone experienced this or any insights on what to do?

Question

Part-Year Resident of MO working in KS double tax

Hello,

I moved to Missouri in October 2025 and worked in Kansas through the end of the year. Prior to that, I was a resident of another state.

While filing my taxes, I noticed that I am unable to claim both the MO-CR and MO-NRI. The instructions state: “As a part-year resident, you can take either the Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State or the Part-Year/Nonresident Income Percentage Credit on your return.”

Because of this limitation, I am unable to receive a tax credit from Missouri for the taxes I paid to Kansas.

Currently, I am being taxed by:

another state as a part-year resident (for the portion of the year I lived there),
Missouri as a part-year (for the portion of the year I lived there due to the MO-NRI)
Kansas as a nonresident (since I worked in Kansas and unable to get a tax credit for this due to unable to file both MO-NRI and MO-CR).

Since I cannot claim the credit for taxes paid to Kansas, it appears that I am effectively being taxed on the same income by both Missouri and Kansas. I am essentially paying extra because I live in one state and work in another. If I had chosen to live and work in MO. I wouldnt have been paying this "extra" tax to KS.

Anyone experienced this or any insights on what to do?

As a part year resident of Missouri, you can elect to file as a Resident or Nonresident. If you select to file as a resident, you would be able to claim the credit for the taxes you paid to Kansas, but you would also have to report the income from your prior state of resident as well and claim a credit for taxes paid to that state.

If you elect to file as a nonresident, you would not have to report the Kansas wages as Missouri income because you were working in Kansas so it is not Missouri-source income. This maybe the best option- it seems that you may be reporting the income as taxable in Missouri.

Go back through the Missouri return, and be sure to look for the Income Allocations screen where you can indicate zero Income from Missouri Sources.
