Missouri Electronic Tax Filing System Moving Slow

For the past six days, the website has experienced slowness, which is causing a delay in a confirmation receipt for tax filers.

If you filed your Missouri tax return electronically and haven’t received an electronic receipt for it, don’t worry, it’s OK, according to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch article. The electronic income tax filing system for the Missouri Department of Revenue has slowed down and, in return, filers are receiving late receipt confirmation messages from the state. Per the Missouri Department of Revenue website: "Taxpayers can electronically file from a computer, or by using a tax preparer who is an approved Electronic Return Originator (ERO). The state return is transmitted to the IRS along with the federal return. When the federal return is accepted, an acknowledgment (electronic confirmation) is sent from the IRS. The IRS then transmits the state …

Update: Missing Tax Bill Data Stalls Online License Plate Renewal for St. Charles County

One County Council member says a software glitch left necessary control numbers off tax bills. The St. Charles County Collector says the information is on the bills, but a delay in getting technical information means online service is temporarily unavaila

St. Charles County residents will be able to renew their license plates online in the near future, said St. Charles County Collector Michelle McBride. However, they are unable to renew their plates right now.
