Hi, I really hope someone can help me figure out this nonsense.
My employer is based in Kansas, however we do jobs in both Kansas and Missouri. On my paystubs, it shows KS pay, MO pay, and KCMO pay.
This is where I start to get irritated and confused. Obviously, I pay Kansas taxes for everything. Missouri jobs are subject to the MO witholding, regardless of where in the state of MO I do a job. KCMO wages are also separated. I am having a hard time figuring all of this out. When I used TurboTax last year, it tried to tell me that I owed KCMO the 1% Earnings Tax on ALL of my income, for the entire year, from both states. Additionally, it tried to tell me that I OWED the state of Missouri AND the state of Kansas! But that should not be the case. As a result, I did not file my state returns last year and now it is biting me in the rear. I'm attempting to figure this out for this year, and I'm running into the same headache and it literally has me so frustrated I just want to smash my computer with a hammer.
I'm sure none of this makes any sense whatsoever, so lemme just put this here as an example, from 2023:
(My pay is represented as an "Hourly" figure, and a "Footage" figure. I am a gutter installer and we do not get paid by the hour, but by footage, but this is how the accountant breaks it down on the paystubs)
KS Hourly - 18,799.80 (KS w/h 737.85)
KS Footage - 5,611.03
MO Hourly - 12,696.80 (MO w/h 673.56)
MO Footage - 3,057.90
KCMO Hourly - 4,284.40 (KCMO w/h 60.94)
Total 2023 Earnings - 44,449.93
I'm so frustrated and I don't know what to do or how to proceed and I'm about to have a nervous breakdown over all this crap and it sucks PLEASE HELP :(
