Missouri has a state income tax — and Kansas City and St. Louis add a local one — so tax time here means returns that have to line up carefully. Compass Tax Center handles your federal, Missouri, and city returns together, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From the Ozarks to both sides of the state, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Missouri return, prepared together so they agree and you claim every credit you're owed. Missouri's income tax has been dropping, Social Security is now fully exempt, and Kansas City and St. Louis add a local earnings tax — we handle all of it.
Two returns instead of one — plus a possible city piece — means more to keep straight. We handle the whole picture, and we're here after April, too.
Missouri has been steadily lowering its top income-tax rate, with more cuts tied to revenue triggers, and it recently made Social Security benefits fully exempt from state tax. On the flip side, Kansas City and St. Louis both levy a 1% earnings tax on people who live or work there.
Those moving parts are easy to get wrong on your own. We track where the rate lands, make sure retirees get the Social Security exemption, and handle any city earnings tax alongside your state return.
Missouri's income tax is only part of the picture — the local earnings tax is what makes it distinctive. If any of these are you, they're firmly in our wheelhouse.
You don't need a tax office down the road — you need the right person handling all your returns. Everything we do is secure and fully virtual, so working with us is exactly as easy from Springfield as it is from Kansas City. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Missouri, your tax help doesn't have to change.
Start now or book a free consultation. We're here year-round — for tax season and everything after it.
