ELECTRONIC FILING OPTIONS
Missouri, in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service
Federal/State E-file:
(IRS), offers a joint federal/state filing of individual income tax returns. There are
two ways that you may e-file your federal and state income tax returns:
1) You can electronically file your federal and state returns online from web sites
provided by approved software providers. Many providers offer free filing if
you meet certain conditions. A list of approved links can be found at
2) You can have a tax preparer (if approved by the IRS) electronically file your
federal and state returns for you, usually for a fee. A list of approved tax
preparers can be found at
Benefits of Electronic Filing
• Convenience: You can electronically file 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

ensure confidentiality.
• Accuracy: Electronic filed returns have up to 13 percent fewer errors than paper returns.

2-D Barcode Returns—
If you plan on filing a paper
return, you should consider 2-D barcode filing. The software
encodes all your tax information into a 2-D barcode, which
allows your return to be processed in a fraction of the time it takes to process a traditional paper
return. If you use software to prepare your return, check our web site for approved 2-D barcode
software companies. Also, check out the department’s fill-in forms that calculate and have a 2-D
barcode. If your form has a 2-D barcode, the REFUND returns should be mailed to: Department
of Revenue, P.O. Box 3222, Jefferson City, MO 65105-3222 and returns with a balance due
should be mailed to: Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 3370, Jefferson City, MO 65105-3370.
