How to enter Missouri PTE in ProConnect Tax

For tax years ending on or after December 31, 2022, Missouri partnerships and S corporations can elect to pay pass-through entity (PTE) tax. PTE tax, sometimes referred to as a SALT workaround, allows qualifying members of a PTE to pay tax at the entity level and claim a credit for the taxes paid on their own returns.

When is the MO-PTE return due?

The MO-PTE return is due the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the entity's tax year ends. If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the return is due the next business day.

Partnerships and S corporations who receive federal extensions are automatically granted an extension of time to file the MO-PTE.

For calendar year filers who don't request an extension, the MO-PTE is due by April 15, 2024.

What if I need to file sooner?

All MO-PTE returns and payments must be filed on paper. E-filing isn't available. You can find printable forms and instructions on the Missouri Department of Revenue's site.

To claim the credit on an individual return:

1. Go to Input Return.
2. From the State & Local section select Other Credits then MO Form MO-TC.
3. Under Type of Credit select MO Department of Revenue, then SPA = SALT Parity.
4. Complete the Amount of Credit section.
5. Review the MO-TC to see how much of the credit is allowed, the allowable credit will show on MO-1040.
