No. 1327S.02P Bill No. Perfected SS for SB 67 Page 3 of February 12, 2025 BB:LR:OD FISCAL ANALYSIS ASSUMPTION §§ 143.511 Individual Income Tax Filing Deadlines Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this proposal would allow the filing deadline for the individual income tax returns to move when the federal government moves the deadline. Currently, Missouri tax returns are due on April 15th each year unless moved by the Governor Office. Sometimes, the federal filing deadline is moved to another day. DOR assumes no administrative impact from this change. Officials from the Office of Administration – Budget & Planning (B&P) assume this provision would allow the annual income tax due date to change from April 15th to the date required for federal income tax returns. B&P notes that there are many years where the federal annual due date falls after April 15th. B&P further notes that DOR already matches the Missouri income tax due date with the federal due date. Therefore, this provision will not impact state revenues. Oversight notes that DOR and B&P both assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organization or overall state revenues. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for this Section. §§ 143.512 - Certain Penalties or Interest In response to the previous version of the bill, officials from the Office of Administration – Budget & Planning (B&P) assumed this proposal would waive any addition to tax, interest, and penalties on taxes due because of tax credits being apportioned, if the resulting tax due is paid within 60 days. B&P notes that this would only apply to tax credits that are apportioned among taxpayers, in the event that redemptions are greater than the amount allowed per statute or appropriation. B&P notes that currently taxpayers are encouraged remit their full tax liability, calculated before a tax credit, in the event that their tax credit claim is denied. However, for those taxpayers that do not remit the full amount and end up with a tax due notice, interest and penalties are currently levied on the overdue amount. Based on information provided by DOR, this provision could reduce TSR by an unknown, likely minimal, amount. Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this proposal would allow a taxpayer, who attempts to claim a tax credit, that is denied from a lack of available funds, and that denial causes a balance due notice to be generated by DOR, to pay their balance due without L.R. No. 1327S.02P Bill No. Perfected SS for SB 67 Page 4 of February 12, 2025 BB:LR:OD paying a penalty or interest for sixty days. If the balance due is not paid within sixty days, the penalty and interest would still be owed. DOR notes that tax credits can be denied for various reasons. Many of the state tax credit programs have caps that are first-come first-serve and taxpayers can be denied if their claim is filed later than others. DOR has two tax credits that have caps and are apportioned credits. These credits allow people to apply and then the amount of the credit is adjusted downward should the number of credits claimed exceed the cap. Those two credits are the Champion for Children and Food Pantry tax credit programs. DOR notes the Champion for Children tax credit program already grants DOR the authority to notify taxpayers of the apportionment of their credit and to adjust the credit downward. Additionally, the program also allows DOR to give those taxpayers a sixty-day grace period to make an additional payment should their account require it. This proposal would not impact the Champion for Children program. DOR notes that the Food Pantry program does not allow for such a grace period. At this time, DOR would notify the taxpayer of the adjustment and then it is required to assess penalties and interest. It appears this proposal attempts to allow DOR to give them a grace period. DOR assumes this would have a minimal impact of less than $10,000 annually. Oversight notes that officials from the DOR and B&P both assume this Section would have a minimal impact on the general revenue, if any. Oversight is unsure of how many taxpayers previously receive notice of apportionment thus additional tax due. However, based on responses from DOR and B&P, Oversight will assume that the total amount of interest and penalties owed, less than $10,000, is not material. Therefore, Oversight will not show an impact in the fiscal note. Section 143.121 MAGI Subtractions for Farmers In response the similar/identical bill, SB 682 – 2025, officials from the Office of Administration – Budget & Planning (B&P) assumed B&P's estimated cost for HB 202 / SB 138 was based on the definition of beginning farmer. B&P was unable then (and now) to separate sales by owner type. Therefore, the estimated costs reflected in the TAFP fiscal notes included all potential owners. This proposal will not impact TSR or the calculation under Article X, Section 18(e) beyond what was already estimated during the 2023 session. In response the similar/identical bill, SB 682 – 2025, officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assumed the language in this bill is clarifying language and will not have any additional impact. L.R. No. 1327S.02P Bill No. Perfected SS for SB 67 Page 5 of February 12, 2025 BB:LR:OD Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. FISCAL IMPACT – State GovernmentFY 2026 (10 Mo.) FY 2027FY 2028$0$0$0FISCAL IMPACT – Local GovernmentFY 2026 (10 Mo.)
