What is the Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim (aka “Circuit Breaker”)?
The Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim (MO-PTC) is a state program that provides a partial refund of your paid real property taxes, or if you are a tenant in a rental property, a partial refund of rent paid. Qualification for the program is based on your age and your income. The application for the MO-PTC is usually filed with the annual income tax return, but may be filed for up to three years from the due date (April 15). Residents of Saint Louis County with 100 percent disability may also qualify. For further information, contact the Missouri Department of Revenue at (573)751-3505 or (314)877-0177. The County Older Residents Program (CORP) can assist with questions or filing for the claim: (314)615-4516. Information is also available at Missouri Property Tax Credit.
