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.  You can have your refund direct deposited into your bank account when you use the 
Department’s fill-in forms. 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.
