Updated: 2/21/2013
Article ID: SLN62462
Missouri taxpayers who were age 65 or over and died during 2011 are eligible to receive certain age-based tax benefits on their tax return.
Certain customers, who were 64 years of age and had their Date of Death in 2011, may have filed an incorrect Missouri tax return.
TurboTax has fixed this issue.
