Question

I currently live in Missouri and work in Kansas. Kansas taxes were deducted from my paychecks. I live less than 1 mile from the state line. Why am I paying Missouri taxes if I am not working there?

Additional info: I was contributing a small amount out of my paychecks to MO in anticipation of being taxed, but the amount owed seems astronomical for not working there.

Your income is taxable by both states. Your home state of MO can tax all your income, regardless of where you earned it. Your non-resident state, KS, can tax the income you earned by working in KS.

You'll be able to take a credit on your home state MO return for the taxes paid to KS, so you won't be double-taxed.

>>Be sure to complete your non-resident KS return before you do your home state MO return, so that the credit flows properly.

So on each check I will pay state taxes for both states? If I earn $51K a year how much will I receive on my biweekly paycheck. I ask, because now I might have to cancel my lease.
