State Filing Requirements

Missouri State Requires The Following Information Returns and Forms

Form 1099-MISC

Miscellaneous Information

Missouri requires you to file Form 1099-MISC when you also have a federal filing obligation for the same payment, and the amount meets Missouri's own state-source threshold. For the tax year 2026, the federal threshold for 1099-MISC categories, rents, prizes and awards, other income, medical payments, and crop insurance proceeds is $2,000. Royalties are reportable at $10 or more, and other specialized categories keep their own separate federal thresholds. Missouri's $1,200 general threshold works alongside these federal rules.

Form 1099-NEC

Nonemployee Compensation

Starting with 2026TY payments, the IRS generally requires Form 1099-NEC once nonemployee compensation reaches $2,000 in a calendar year. Missouri state filing applies when the federal reporting requirement is met, and the payment also meets Missouri's $1,200 state threshold.

Form 1099-INT

Interest Income

Federal reporting for Form 1099-INT generally applies when interest payments reach $10, though certain situations use different federal thresholds. Missouri sets its own state threshold for interest reporting at $100. The state filing obligation for interest payments applies when the same information must be reported to the IRS.

Form W-2

Wage and Tax Statement

Missouri must report applicable employee wage and Missouri withholding information on Form W-2. If you have 250 or more employees, Missouri requires you to file W-2 information electronically. Below that threshold, you can file electronically or use an approved paper method. Form MO W-3 serves as the transmittal form for Missouri's Form W-2 reporting.

2026TY Deadline for Filing Missouri State Forms

Filing Deadline
Missouri Form 1099 filing March 1, 2027
Missouri Form W-2 electronic filing (250 or more employees) February 1, 2027
Missouri Form W-2 filing (fewer than 250 employees) March 1, 2027

Note:

Missouri's Form 1099 filing deadline is generally due on the last day of February. For tax year 2026, that falls on March 1, 2027, since February 28 is on a Sunday.

The 250-employee electronic Form W-2 threshold follows its own schedule, which is usually the last day of January. However, since the date falls on a Sunday in 2027, the deadline moves to February 1, 2027.

This same deadline shift applies to recipient statements, too. Most federal Forms 1099 and W-2 that normally reach recipients by January 31 will instead be due February 1, 2027.

Missouri State Filing Scenario Based On Information Returns

Form CF/SF Participation Direct-to-State Filing
Form 1099-MISC Not available File directly if the payment is from Missouri and reaches the $1,200 threshold, alongside a matching federal filing obligation. Paper filers submit Form MO-99 MISC with Form MO-96, or use a clearly marked federal Form 1099-MISC.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form
Form 1099-NEC Not available File directly once you have a federal filing obligation, and the payment meets Missouri's applicable state threshold. For 2026, ordinary nonemployee compensation is federally reportable starting at $2,000.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form
Form 1099-K Not available Missouri requires filing if there is an existing federal Form 1099-K reporting requirement. Payment-card transactions have no minimum dollar amount, while third-party network transactions typically require exceeding both $20,000 in payments and 200 transactions.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form
Form 1099-B Not available File directly with Missouri once your federal Form 1099-B obligation is triggered and the payment also clears Missouri's state-source threshold.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form
Form 1099-R Not available File Copy 1 of Form 1099-R with Missouri's annual report. When Missouri income tax was withheld, Form MO W-3 accompanies the 1099-R filing.

Form 1099-G Not available File directly once if there is a matching federal filing obligation, and the payment meets Missouri's applicable state-source threshold.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form
Form 1099-INT Not available As a payer, you're subject to Missouri's separate $100 threshold for interest once you also have a matching federal filing obligation. The state's general $1,200 rule doesn't apply here.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form
Form W-2G Not available Paper filers may submit Form MO-99 MISC with Form MO-96, or use a federal Form W-2G marked as the Missouri copy.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form
Form W-2 Not applicable Once you reach 250 employees, Missouri requires electronic W-2 filing. Below that count, you can use an approved filing method with Form MO W-3.

Filing method: Electronic
Pricing: $2.99 per form

Note:

Missouri generally checks two things before a 1099 filing is required: whether the same or a similar return must be filed federally, and whether the payment meets Missouri's applicable state-source threshold of $1,200, or $100 for interest and dividends.

Missouri's current 1099 guidance doesn't require electronic filing based on volume, though the state encourages it.

OBBBA update

OBBBA Threshold Changes: What They Mean for Missouri Filers

Starting with payments made after December 31, 2025, OBBBA changed the federal reporting threshold under IRC Sections 6041 and 6041A from $600 to $2,000 for a wide range of payment types.

For 2026TY, this raises Form 1099-NEC's threshold for nonemployee compensation to $2,000. It also impacts certain Form 1099-MISC categories, including rents, prizes and awards, other income, medical and health care payments, and crop insurance proceeds. Royalties, gross proceeds paid to attorneys, are subject to their own separate federal threshold.

Form 1099-K follows a different set of rules. Third-party network transactions now use the restored thresholds of over $20,000 and over 200 transactions per year.

None of this changes Missouri's own reporting rules. Missouri still applies its state-source threshold of $1,200, with a separate $100 threshold for interest and dividends. Missouri filing also still depends on whether you're required to file the same or a similar return with the IRS.

For example, if a business pays a contractor $1,500 during 2026. That amount clears Missouri's $1,200 threshold. But it stays under the $2,000 federal threshold. Since Missouri's filing requirement depends on a matching federal obligation existing first, this payment won't require a Missouri Form 1099-NEC filing on its own.

State Filing Corrections Pricing

Correction Type Filing Details Pricing
Form 1099 Corrections Paper filing only $10 per submission, plus $2.99 per form
Form W-2C Paper filing only $10 per submission, plus $2.99 per form

Note:

Missouri handles corrections differently depending on the cause of the error. There's no single, one-size-fits-all correction path for Missouri 1099 filings.

A change to the withheld tax amount requires an amended Form MO-941, filed with the corrected paper Form 1099s.

For other electronic filing errors that leave the withholding amount unchanged, the process is different. You need to request deletion of the original file with Missouri, then submit a corrected file to replace it.

There are two conditions that decide whether a business has to file a Form 1099 with the state of Missouri. First, the same payment must already trigger a federal filing requirement. Second, it needs to be Missouri-source income that clears the state's threshold; $1,200 in most cases, or $100 if it's interest or dividends.

The standard due date for Missouri Form 1099 is the last day of February. But since that date falls on a Sunday, the deadline for 2026TY is March 1, 2027.

Missouri's latest Form 1099 handbook and IRS Publication 1220 drop the state from CF/SF for tax year 2025. But Missouri's 2026 Employer's Tax Guide lists Missouri as a participant. Given that conflict, treat direct filing as the current Missouri filing method.

No. Paper filing remains an option regardless of how many forms you're submitting, even though the state prefers electronic filing.

Federally, the $2,000 threshold applies to Form 1099-NEC and several categories under Form 1099-MISC for 2026TY. Missouri's state threshold is $1,200 for most state-source payments and $100 for interest and dividends. However, Missouri’s threshold does not create a filing requirement by itself. A corresponding federal information-reporting obligation must also exist.

Interest income reporting follows Missouri's $100 threshold. The state reporting requirement applies once a matching federal filing obligation exists.

Missouri pairs Form MO-96 only with Form MO-99 MISC and certain paper W-2G filings when Missouri income tax was withheld.

You'll need to use Form MO W-3 when submitting Missouri's annual W-2 and Form 1099-R withholding statements. If you have 250 or more employees, that information is added electronically. If you're eligible to file on paper, Form MO W-3 accompanies your statements.

Missouri W-2 deadline for 2026TY depends on how many employees you have. At 250 or more, Missouri requires electronic filing by the last day of January, which falls on February 1, 2027, since January 31, 2027, is on a Sunday. Fewer than 250, and your deadline is the last day of February, which falls on March 1, 2027, for the same reason.
