Missouri Partnership Adjustment
The addition and subtraction items listed in this section are necessary Missouri modifications. Completion of the Partnership Adjustment section will result in the net Missouri partnership adjustment that will be allocated to the partners on page 3. The partner’s adjustment can only be made from information available from the partnership. It is necessary for each partnership having modifications to complete Form MO-1065, Partnership Adjustment section and Allocation of Missouri Partnership Adjustment to Partners section, and notify each partner of the adjustment to which he or she is entitled.
Line 6a - Interest from Exempt Federal Obligations — Interest from direct obligations of the U.S. Government, such as U.S. savings bonds, U.S. treasury bills, bonds, and notes are exempt from state taxation under the laws of the United States. Attach a detailed list or all Federal Form 1099(s). Partnerships that claim an exclusion for interest from U.S. obligations must identify the specific securities owned, (e.g., U.S. savings bond). A general description, such as “interest on U.S. obligation” or “U.S. Government securities” is not accepable. (See 12 CSR 10-2.150 for the taxability of various U.S. Government-related obligations.) A list of exempt U.S. obligations must be provided to each partner by the partnership. This list will allow the partner to report the modification on his or her Form MO-1040, Individual Income Tax Return.
A federally taxed distribution received from a mutual fund investing exclu- sively in direct U.S. Government obligations is exempt. If the mutual fund invests in both exempt (direct) and nonexempt (indirect) federal obligations, the deduction allowed will be the distribution received from the mutual fund attributable to the direct U.S. Government obligations, as determined by the mutual fund. A copy of the year-end statement received from the mutual fund showing the amount of monies received or the percentage of funds received from direct U.S. Government obligations or a summary statement received from the mutual fund which clearly identifies the exempt and nonexempt portions of the U.S. Government obligations interest, must be provided to each partner by the partnership. Note: Failure to attach a copy of the notification furnished to you that specifically details the amount of the subtraction being claimed as the distributive share will result in the disallowance of the deduction.
Line 6b - Related Expenses — In arriving at the amount of related expenses, the taxpayer may use actual expenses or a reasonable estimate. In general, the taxpayer should use the same or similar method to that used to compute related expenses for federal income tax purposes, provided that the method reasonably reflects related expenses for Missouri-exempt income.
If a taxpayer fails to compute reasonable related expenses, the Director of Revenue will make an adjustment based on the best information made available. If sufficient information is not made available or if the taxpayer’s records do not provide sufficient information, the Director of Revenue will use the following formula to compute related expenses:
Exempt income x Expense items = Reduction to exempt income Total income
The principal expense item in this formula is interest expense; however, the Director of Revenue may include other expense items because of the direct relationship to the production of exempt income. The taxpayer may propose an alternative method provided that it properly reflects the amount of related expenses.
Line 8 - Other
Recreational Marijuana Business Deduction. Enter the amount of any expenditure that is eligible to be claimed as a federal income tax deduction but is disallowed by section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code.
Calculating this deduction, you must provide a financial statement/federal schedule(s) for business profit or loss that the federal government was unable to allow as a deduction for marijuana business, as marijuana is a controlled substance under federal law.
The Missouri deduction will be the difference between the profit/loss as calculated on the schedule(s) filed with the federal return and the pro forma schedule(s) described above.
You must submit the financial statement, schedule(s), the medical license number (MED) and all federal schedule(s) with your Missouri Form MO-1040 to claim the deduction.
Line 13 - Agriculture Disaster Relief — Enter the share of income received by a partnership as payment from any program which provides compensation to agricultural producers who have suffered a loss as the result of a disaster or emergency. You must attach a copy of the Form 1099 indicating your agri- cultural payment. Include a schedule with each partner’s name, identification number, ownership percentage, and their portion of the subtraction. A copy of this schedule (or its information) must be provided to each partner. The amount indicated after each partner’s name must be reported as a modifi- cation on his or her Form MO-1040, Individual Income Tax Return, Part 1 of the Form MO-A, Line 16. Each partner must attach an explanation for the adjustment to his or her form. For partners who are companies or trusts, this amount must be reported on their respective forms.
Allocation of Missouri Partnership
Adjustment to Partners
This section indicates the portion of the Missouri adjustment from Partnership Adjustments section that is allocated to each partner. Column 4 and the instructions for Column 5 are based upon the usual situation that a single general profit and loss sharing percentage applies to all partnership items and related modifications. Attach a detailed explanation (including extracts from the partnership agreement) if the Column 5 amounts are not based upon the same single percentage allocation indicated on Federal Form 1065, Schedule K-1. The explanation must include the non tax purposes and effects of the special allocation method.
Column 1 - Enter the name of each partner, attach additional sheets if needed.
Column 2 - Indicate if the partner is a nonresident to the state of Missouri by marking the box.
Column 3 - Enter the partner’s social security number. If the partner is another company or trust, enter the federal identification number.
Column 4 - Enter percentage from Federal Form 1065, Schedule K-1. Round the percentage to the nearest whole number.
Column 5 - Enter Missouri partnership adjustment from the Partnership Adjustment section, Line 11 or Line 12 on Total line. Enter each partner’s allocated portion on their respective line by multiplying the percentage in Column 4 by the Total line in Column 5. Indicate at the top of Column 5 whether the adjustments are either additions or subtractions by marking the appropriate box. A copy of this part (or its information) must be provided to each partner. The amount indicated after each partner’s name in Column 5 must be reported as a modification on his or her Form MO-1040, Individual Income Tax Return, Part 1 of the Form MO-A as a partnership addition on Line 2 or subtraction on Line 11, to the federal adjusted gross income. Each partner must attach an explanation for the adjustment to his or her form. For partners who are companies or trust, this amount must be reported on their respective forms.

Filled with nuances and specifics, the Missouri Form MO-1065 stands as a requisite document for partnerships that need to report income within the state. This form harmonizes state and federal tax obligations, providing a detailed account of a partnership's financial activities over the tax year. This explanation is presented not to delve into the purpose behind the form but to navigate its completion accurately. By following a step-by-step guide, filled with attentiveness to every detail, completing the MO-1065 can be achieved with precision and compliance.
Upon successful submission, it's essential to retain a copy of all documents for your records. The completion and accurate filing of the MO-1065 form reflect a partnership's commitment to compliant financial reporting and contribute to the smooth operation of both state tax administration and the business itself.
The MO-1065 Form, also known as the Partnership Return of Income, is a document required by the state of Missouri. It must be filed by entities that operate as partnerships if they are required to file a Federal Form 1065. Specifically, the form must be submitted if the partnership has either a partner who is a Missouri resident or any income, gains, losses, or deductions derived from sources within Missouri. This requirement stems from Section 143.581, RSMo, which outlines the obligations for reporting income connected to Missouri sources.
Modifications on the MO-1065 Form refer to adjustments made to transfer certain items from the federal tax return to the state tax return. These modifications are necessary because some income or deductions recognized at the federal level are treated differently for Missouri tax purposes. For instance, adjustments might include adding back state and local income taxes deducted on the federal return, subtracting interest from federal obligations exempt from Missouri tax, and other specific adjustments as listed in the Missouri Partnership Adjustment section and the Allocation of Missouri Partnership Adjustment to Partners section of the form.
Yes, partnerships can file the MO-1065 Form and its attachments electronically through the Modernized E-File (MeF) system. This platform is a result of cooperation among the IRS, the states, and the software community, utilizing the latest technology for secure and efficient filings. The Missouri Department of Revenue’s website provides information on electronic filing and a list of approved vendors for submitting the partnership return electronically.
The Missouri partnership return should be filed after the completion of the federal partnership return. The due date for the MO-1065 is the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the taxable year. For partnerships operating on a calendar year, this translates to an April 15th deadline. If this date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the return is considered timely if filed on the next business day.
Partners in a Missouri partnership might be eligible for various tax credits, which need to be allocated according to each partner’s percentage of ownership. These credits can then be claimed on the individual income tax return using Form MO-1040 and the associated MO-TC instructions. Information about these credits and how to claim them is detailed on the Department of Revenue’s website.
Missouri requires partnerships to file Form MO-1NR and provide Form MO-2NR statements if they have nonresident individual partners, with some exceptions. For instance, exceptions include nonresident partners who elect to have their Missouri income tax paid through the partnership's composite return or whose Missouri assignable income from the partnership is less than $1,200. Furthermore, nonresident partners can file Form MO-3NR to request the partnership be exempt from withholding requirements.
Partners must report their share of Missouri modifications, as indicated in the Allocation of Missouri Partnership Adjustment to Partners section of the MO-1065 Form, on their individual Missouri tax returns. These adjustments, whether additions or subtractions to their income, should be reported on Form MO-1040, with a detailed explanation attached to the return. For partners that are entities rather than individuals, these adjustments should be reported on the respective entity's Missouri tax return.
Not checking the box to indicate a change of address is a common oversight. This mistake can lead to important correspondence not reaching the partnership, as any mailings will be sent to the last address on file.
Failing to attach a copy of the approved Federal Extension (Form 7004) when selecting the box for having an approved federal extension. This oversight can lead to issues with the processing of the return.
Omitting necessary details on Missouri modifications when the partnership has Missouri modifications. Completing Lines 1–13 accurately is crucial for reflecting these adjustments on the return.
Forgetting to complete the partner information on page 3 and, if applicable, Form MO-NRP for nonresident partners. This information is essential for proper filing and compliance.
Incorrectly reporting or overlooking adjustments and subtractions, such as state and local income taxes or interest from exempt federal obligations without the corresponding deductions and related expenses.
Miscalculating Missouri Partnership adjustments by not properly accounting for the Net Addition or Net Subtraction on Lines 11 and 12, respectively. This can result in an inaccurate representation of the partnership's income.
Not providing each partner with their share of the Missouri Partnership adjustment and necessary modifications. Partners need this information to correctly file their individual returns.
Signing the return without verifying that all information is complete and correct. As the signature declares the information to be true under the penalties of perjury, ensuring accuracy before signing is paramount.
Ensuring the correct rounding of amounts to the nearest whole dollar as per Missouri's requirements is often neglected. This step is essential for consistency and accuracy on the return.
Failure to indicate the partnership's tax year correctly, especially if it doesn't align with the calendar year, can lead to processing delays.
Not utilizing the available electronic filing option, which can streamline the submission process and reduce errors associated with manual entries.
Omitting documentation or detailed explanations for exempt federal obligations and agriculture disaster relief, which are necessary to support exemptions and deductions claimed.
When completing the Missouri Form MO-1065, several other forms and documents may be necessary to support or supplement the information required. These documents ensure accurate and compliant reporting of income and adjustments for partnerships operating within Missouri. Below is a list of forms commonly used alongside MO-1065 and a brief description of each.
Each of these documents plays a vital role in the full and accurate reporting of partnership income and adhering to Missouri’s state tax requirements. Partnerships should ensure that they complete not only the MO-1065 form but also any additional forms that are applicable to their specific circumstances. This comprehensive approach to tax filing helps in maintaining compliance and avoiding potential penalties.
The MO-1065 form is similar to several other tax documents that partnerships and limited liability companies (LLCs) taxed as partnerships might encounter. Understanding these similarities can help those preparing their Missouri Partnership Return of Income navigate the process more efficiently. Two such documents, the Federal Form 1065 and Form MO-NRP, have distinct parallels with the MO-1065, not only in their purpose but also in the specifics of their content and filing requirements.
Federal Form 1065 is a tax document required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for reporting the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits, and other financial information of a partnership. The structure of the MO-1065 form closely mirrors that of Federal Form 1065, reflecting their shared objective of capturing the financial activities of partnerships. Both forms serve as a means for partnerships to report their income and determine which items of income and deductions are passed through to the partners. They require detailed listing of the partnership's financial operations, including income adjustments and taxable income calculations. Significantly, the MO-1065 form requests that a copy of the Federal Form 1065 and its schedules, including Schedule K-1s for each partner, be attached if certain conditions are met. This highlights not only the similarity in the information requested but also the direct link in how this information is utilized across state and federal tax filing processes.
Form MO-NRP, on the other hand, is a Missouri-specific document that deals with nonresident partners of a partnership. This form is especially relevant if the partnership has nonresident members and derives income from Missouri sources. It complements the MO-1065 by ensuring that income attributable to Missouri is reported and any tax due from nonresident partners is properly handled. This requirement parallels the section in the MO-1065 that queries about nonresident partners, underscoring the need to address state tax obligations for partners who do not reside in Missouri. Both forms work in tandem to ensure compliance with Missouri's tax laws, specifically in how nonresident income is treated and taxed. By filing Form MO-NRP alongside the MO-1065 when required, partnerships ensure that all partners meet their tax obligations in regard to Missouri income, embodying the interconnected nature of these forms in the context of state tax compliance for partnerships.
When completing the Missouri Form MO-1065, Partnership Return of Income, attention to detail and adherence to guidelines ensure accurate processing and compliance. This list delineates critical practices to follow and to avoid for a successful submission.
Do's:
Don'ts:
Understanding the MO-1065 form, a partnership return of income for the state of Missouri, can sometimes be confusing due to common misconceptions. Here’s a breakdown of nine myths and the truths behind them:
Only Missouri-based partnerships need to file the MO-1065 form. In reality, any partnership that has either a Missouri resident as a partner or derives any income from Missouri sources must file this form.
If you file a federal extension, you don't need to attach a copy with your MO-1065. Contrary to this belief, if you have an approved federal extension, you must attach a copy of the approved Federal Extension (Form 7004) with your MO-1065.
Filing the MO-1065 electronically is optional. While it might have been optional in the past, Missouri encourages electronic filing (e-file) for the partnership return through a joint federal and state e-file program, aiming for a more streamlined and efficient process.
All partnerships must complete every section of the form. Not all sections apply to every filer. Depending on answers to certain questions regarding Missouri modifications and nonresident partners, only relevant sections would require completion.
If there are no modifications, the form doesn’t need to be filed. This is incorrect. The form must be filed if Federal Form 1065 is required and the partnership has either a Missouri resident partner or income from Missouri sources, regardless of modifications.
Information on distributions from U.S. Government obligations is not necessary. Actually, interest from direct U.S. Government obligations is exempt from state tax, and detailed information on such interest and any related expenses is required for proper filing.
A partnership cannot file a composite return on behalf of nonresident partners. Missouri allows partnerships to file a composite return for nonresident partners, simplifying the filing process for partnerships with nonresident members.
The MO-1065 form does not need to be signed. Every MO-1065 form must be signed by a partner or a member of the enterprise. This signature is a declaration that the information provided is accurate.
Rounding cents to the nearest dollar is optional. On the contrary, all cents must be rounded to the nearest whole dollar when completing the Missouri returns, ensuring uniformity across all filings.
Correcting these misconceptions ensures accurate and compliant completion of the MO-1065 form, avoiding potential errors and penalties. Knowledge and careful attention to the specific requirements of the MO-1065 form can streamline the filing process for partnerships operating in Missouri.
When preparing and submitting the Missouri Form MO-1065, Partnership Return of Income, it's crucial to keep several key points in mind to ensure accuracy and compliance. Below are 10 important takeaways to guide you through the process:
Understanding these key aspects of the MO-1065 form will help ensure that your partnership's income from Missouri sources is accurately reported and compliant with state requirements. Proper attention to deadlines, modifications, and the needs of nonresident partners can streamline the filing process and avoid potential issues.
