What tax return must be filed for franchise tax?
For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2000 for corporation income tax and on or after January 1, 2001 for franchise tax, the franchise tax must be reported with Form MO-1120 or MO-1120S. Schedule MO-FT must be included with either Form MO-1120 or Form MO-1120S. If you are not required to file Form MO-1120 or MO-1120S for corporation income tax purposes, you must complete the upper portion of either of these two forms, mark the box “franchise tax only” and then complete Schedule MO-FT.
