The Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim (MO-PTC) is a tax credit available for persons 65 years of age or 100% disabled or 60 years of age and receiving survivors benefits based on their paid real estate taxes or paid rent receipts.

The maximum credit is $750 for renters and $1,100 for homeowners. The actual credit is based on the amount of real estate taxes paid or 20% of the rent paid and the total household income (taxable and nontaxable.) To be eligible, total household income must not exceed $34,000. (VA payments received for a 100% service-connected disability are not included as income.)
From January 1 through April 17, individuals can apply for credit for years 2016, 2015, 2014 and/or 2013. There is a $10 suggested contribution for each MO-PTC form the Center helps you file.
