I received a w-2 from Missouri but live in Florida. Do I need to file state income tax in Missouri

Paid as a professional baseball player.

If there are Missouri state income taxes withheld on the W-2,  generally, you will file a non-resident Missouri income tax return and file a resident Florida tax return, and credit the Missouri taxes to the Florida return.

Great, thanks. No withholding for state tax in box 17. It's blank.

There is income in box 16 for the state of Missouri but no withholding (blank) in box 17. Do iI need to file state tax there.

Yes you need to file a Missouri return if you meet the filing requirement for a non resident ... even if there was no withholding on the W-2 ..... and FYI there is NO FL income tax return to file.  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://dor.mo.gov/personal/nonresident/">http://dor.mo.gov/personal/nonresident/</a>

Thanks. I wanted to make sure. Cost for state forms are $44.99. Not including the eFile. Ouch !

Yes, Critter#2 is correct.  You must file a return if you meet the requirements regardless of the withholding.
