Hello,

I am trying to determine my residency status for Missouri state tax. I moved spent more than 6 months in Missouri last year and maintained my permanent place of residence there for that time period. For residency, they have 2 questions:

1. Did you maintain a permanent place of residency in Missouri?
2. Did you spend more than 183 days in Missouri?

I know I'm a Yes for 2 but I'm not clear about the first question. Is it only for that time period or is it the whole year? Please advise.

Thanks!

You have in fact established residency in Missouri, but you are only a part-year resident.

When you file your 2020 return, you will need to file as a part-year resident of Missouri and whichever state you left.

Thank you!

Glad to help!
