Electronic Filing Options for Federal and State E-File
Missouri, in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), offers a joint federal and 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 websites provided by approved software providers. Many providers offer free filing if you meet certain conditions. A list of approved providers can be found at dor.mo.gov/taxation/individual/tax-types/ income/vendors.html#freeonline.
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 dor.mo.gov/taxation/individual/tax-types/income/.

# BENEFITS OF ELECTRONIC FILING

Convenience: You can electronically file 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you electronically file DO NOT mail a copy of your return.
Security: Your tax return information is encrypted and transmitted over secure lines to ensure confidentiality.
Accuracy: Electronically filed returns have fewer errors than paper returns.
Direct Deposit: You can have your refund directly deposited into your bank account.
Proof of Filing: An acknowledgment is issued when your return is received and accepted.

# ASSISTANCE WITH PREPARING YOUR TAX RETURN

There are a large number of volunteer groups around Missouri providing tax assistance to elderly or lower income taxpayers. To locate a volunteer group near you that offers return preparation assistance: call 800-906-9887, 888-227-7669 or visit dor.mo.gov/taxation/individual/tax-types/ income/.
You will find a larger volume of volunteer centers open during the filing season, which is typically January through April.
2-D BARCODE RETURNS
If you plan to file 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 with fewer errors compared to traditional paper returns. If you use software to prepare your return, check our website for approved 2-D barcode software companies. Also, check out the Department's fill-in forms that automatically calculate and provide your return with a 2-D barcode. You can have your refund directly deposited into your bank account when you use the Department's fill-in forms.
If your form has a 2-D barcode, mail your return to the Department of Revenue address as indicated below:
Refund returns: P.O. Box 3222, Jefferson City, MO 65105-3222
Balance due returns: P.O. Box 3370, Jefferson City, MO 65105-3370 Email: Incometaxprocessing@dor.mo.gov (For submission of Individual Income Tax and Property Tax Credit returns)
