# 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 acceptable. (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 exclusively 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 may 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

Broadband Grant Income Tax Subtraction. If you received grant money disbursed from a federal, state, or local program, for the express purpose of providing or expanding broadband internet to areas of Missouri that are deemed to be lacking such access, you may qualify to subtract 100 percent of the grant money received. The grant amount to be subtracted must have been included in income report on the Federal Form 1065. Attach the Form 1099-G issued to you validating the grant money received, grant documents that indicate the area of Missouri was deemed to be lacking broadband internet access, a copy of federal Form 1065 and applicable schedule(s).
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 income tax return 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 agricultural 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 modification 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.

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.
