Missouri State Tax

Note: For records on 5-2-2 Payroll Records that have the Payroll Type of 2—Bonus, Sage 100 Contractor calculates state income tax using the published flat-rate.

The State of Missouri uses the MO W-4 form for determining the Employee Withholding Allowances.

Important! Missouri uses the annual Federal Income Tax deduction amount as part of the State Income Tax deduction.

Individuals filing a separate Missouri Income Tax return are entitled to deduct a maximum of $5,000.
Individuals filing a combined Missouri Income Tax return (Self and Spouse) are entitled to deduct a maximum of $10,000.

Sage 100 Contractor determines the federal deduction maximum for an employee based on the employee’s marital status. When you enter a marital status for an employee, Sage 100 Contractor computes the deduction maximum as follows:

Marital Status	MO W-4 Filing Status
1-Single	Single
2-Married	Married Filing Combined
3-Head of Household	Head of Household
4-Married/Separate	Single
5-Married/Jointly	Married Filing Combined
