Missouri Property Tax Credit for Disabled Veterans
A state tax credit, sometimes called the circuit breaker, that refunds part of the real estate taxes or rent a qualifying veteran paid during the year. The maximum credit is $1,100 for homeowners and $750 for renters, based on the amount paid and total household income.
Who it is for
Missouri residents who are 100 percent disabled as a result of military service, within the income limits. For homeowners who occupied their home all year, household income must be $30,000 or less if single or $34,000 or less if married filing combined. For renters and part-year owners, the limits are $27,200 if single and $29,200 if married filing combined. When you are a 100 percent service-connected disabled veteran, you do not count your VA payments toward household income. Renters whose landlord does not pay property taxes do not qualify.
