Article ID: SLN57850
Missouri taxpayers, who worked for a railroad and had Railroad Retirement tax withheld on their federal Form W-2, under certain circumstances may deduct their Medicare withholding from their Missouri taxes.
Certain customers, who had Railroad Retirement tax withheld from a W-2, may have filed an incorrect Missouri tax return.

How to tell if you may be impacted
You may be affected if ALL of the following are true:
- You filed a 2011 Missouri tax return prior to January 25, 2012 AND
- You were a railroad worker who had a W-2 with an amount in Box 14 labeled “Railroad Retirement Tier I tax” or “Railroad Retirement Tier II tax” AND
- You (nor your spouse) received a 1099-RRB for railroad retirement AND
- Your federal tax return included a Schedule A (Itemized Deductions) AND
- Your Missouri tax return included Form MO-A (Income Tax Adjustments) with an amount on line 4 or line 5
If you are affected, you may have overpaid your Missouri tax. You will need to amend your Missouri tax return.
