Missouri Consolidated Income Tax Returns
PURPOSE: This rule sets forth the requirements for the filing of
Missouri consolidated income tax returns by affiliated groups or
corporations.
PUBLISHER’S NOTE: The secretary of state has determined that
publication of the entire text of the material that is incorporated by
reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome or
expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule
shall be maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall
be made available to the public for inspection and copying at no
more than the actual cost of reproduction. This note applies only
to the reference material. The entire text of the rule is printed here.
(1) Affiliated group. The term affiliated group means those
members of an affiliated group of corporations as defined by
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1504 which participate or
are required to participate in the filing of a federal consolidated
income tax return for the taxable year.
(2) Missouri consolidated return year. The term Missouri
consolidated return year means a taxable year for which a
Missouri consolidated return is filed or required to be filed by
an affiliated group under this rule.
(3) IRC section. The term IRC section shall mean the pertinent
provision of the Internal Revenue Code for the taxable year.
(4) Required member. The term required member shall mean
any corporation included on the federal consolidated return for
the affiliated group, except—
(A) An express company which is subject to an annual tax on
its gross receipts in this state pursuant to section 153.020, RSMo;
(B) An insurance company which is subject to an annual tax
on its gross premium receipts in this state;
(C) A Missouri mutual or extended Missouri mutual insurance
company organized under Chapter 380, RSMo; or
(D) An association or credit union which is subject to an
annual tax pursuant to section 148.620, RSMo.
(5) Director. The term director, except as otherwise specifically
provided in this rule, shall mean the director of revenue or his/
her duly authorized agent or designee.
(6) Computing Missouri Consolidated Taxable Income From
All Sources. The Missouri consolidated taxable income (all
sources) of an affiliated group shall be its federal consolidated
taxable income for the taxable year, adjusted to reflect the
applicable modifications provided in section 143.121, RSMo,
section 143.431.4, RSMo, section 143.141, RSMo, to reflect the
federal income tax deduction under section 143.171, RSMo, and
to reflect the exclusion (for purposes of calculating Missouri
consolidated taxable income) of any members of the affiliated
group that are not required members.
(7) Computing Missouri Consolidated Taxable Income From
Missouri Sources.
(A) The Missouri consolidated taxable income (Missouri
sources) of an affiliated group shall be so much of its Missouri
consolidated taxable income (all sources) as is derived from
sources within Missouri pursuant to the apportionment and
allocation rules set forth in section (14) of this rule, reduced,
to the extent applicable, by the Missouri dividends deduction
under section 143.431.2, RSMo.
(B) If only part of the Missouri consolidated taxable income
(all sources) is derived from sources within Missouri, the
Missouri consolidated taxable income (Missouri sources) shall
only reflect the effect of the consolidated net operating loss
deduction allowed by IRC Section 172 to the extent applicable
to Missouri. The extent to which this deduction is applicable to
Missouri shall be determined by multiplying the amount that
would otherwise affect Missouri consolidated taxable income
(all sources) by the ratio of Missouri consolidated taxable
income (Missouri sources) for the year divided by the Missouri
consolidated taxable income (all sources) for the year. For the
purpose of the preceding sentence, Missouri consolidated
taxable income shall not reflect the consolidated net operating
loss deduction allowed by IRC Section 172.
(C) If an affiliated group files a Missouri income tax return
in which one (1) or more members of the affiliated group are
not required members, the federal income tax deduction
for such Missouri income tax return shall be determined by
multiplying the federal income tax liability of the affiliated
group by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
positive federal taxable incomes of the required members and
the denominator of which is the sum of the positive federal
taxable incomes of all members of the affiliated group, and
then multiplying that result by fifty percent (50%). For purposes
of the preceding sentence, a federal taxable income of zero
is considered positive, and the federal income tax deduction
shall not be allowed if the aforementioned numerator and
denominator are both zero dollars ($0).
(8) Qualifying for Privilege to File Consolidated Return. An
affiliated group (other than one which is required to file a
Missouri consolidated return for the year) shall be qualified
to file a Missouri consolidated return if it files a federal
consolidated return for the taxable year and the affiliated group
is not disqualified from filing a Missouri consolidated return for
the year under sections (25)–(28) of this rule.
(9) Election to File. If an affiliated group qualified to file a
Missouri consolidated return wishes to elect to file a Missouri
consolidated return, the election must be exercised by the
filing of a Missouri consolidated return on or before the due
date (including extensions of time) for the filing of the common
parent’s separate Missouri return. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the director may grant an affiliated group a relief
extension of this due date, even after the due date specified in
the prior sentence has passed, if the affiliated group submits a
letter ruling request under 12 CSR 10-1.020, as it may be amended
from time to time, and which substantially complies with the
requirements of 26 CFR section 301.9100-3, as amended May
6, 2024, by providing evidence to establish to the satisfaction
of the director that the taxpayer acted reasonably and in good
faith, and that the grant of a relief extension will not prejudice
the interests of the state.
(10) Election Irrevocable. The exercise of an election to file a
Missouri consolidated return is irrevocable and may not be
withdrawn after the due date (including extensions of time)
for the filing of the common parent’s separate Missouri return,
except as provided in sections (25)–(28) of this rule.
(11) Continued Filing Requirement. Except as provided in
sections (25)–(28) of this rule, an affiliated group which filed
(or was required to file) a Missouri consolidated return for
the immediately preceding taxable year is required to file a
Missouri consolidated return for the current taxable year.
(12) Improper Separate Return Filing. If an affiliated group
filed (or was required to file) a Missouri consolidated return
for the immediately preceding taxable year and, without
authorization under sections (25)–(28) of this rule, one (1) or
more required members of an affiliated group attempt to file
Missouri corporate income tax returns on a separate basis for
the taxable year, then—
(A) If the common parent has filed a Missouri corporate
income tax return for the taxable year, the Missouri return
of the common parent shall be deemed the sole Missouri
consolidated return of the affiliated group and other Missouri
corporate income tax returns filed by other required members
of the affiliated group shall be void (with any payments made
therewith being credited to the affiliated group);
(B) If the common parent has not filed a Missouri corporate
income tax return for the taxable year, the affiliated group shall
be deemed not to have filed a Missouri corporate income tax
return for the taxable year until a Missouri income tax return
is filed by the common parent, and the other returns filed by
other required members of the affiliated group shall be void
(with any payments made therewith being credited to the
affiliated group).
(13) Filing Consolidated Return in Special Circumstances.
Notwithstanding that an affiliated group may be disqualified to
file a Missouri consolidated return for the current taxable year
under sections (25)–(28) of this rule, the director may permit
the affiliated group to file a Missouri consolidated return for
the current taxable year. Application for permission shall be
directed to the director’s Taxation Division exclusively by email
to corporate@dor.mo.gov, and approval of the application shall
be subject to such terms and conditions as the director may
prescribe.
(14) Apportionment and Allocation of Net Income for Missouri
Consolidated Return. In the determination of that portion of
the Missouri consolidated taxable income (all sources) as is
derived from sources within Missouri, the affiliated group
shall apportion and allocate its Missouri consolidated taxable
income (all sources) according to the provisions of sections
143.455.1–.12, RSMo, except as otherwise provided in section (14)
of this rule.
(A) Method Under Section 143.455.13, RSMo. The affiliated
group, through its common parent, may petition, or the
director may require, an alternative method of allocation or
apportionment to be used in determining Missouri consolidated
taxable income from Missouri sources consistent with sections
143.455.13(2)–(5), RSMo, and 12 CSR 10-2.076. The approval of
an alternative allocation or apportionment method for an
affiliated group to use on a Missouri consolidated return does
not constitute approval of the use of such alternative allocation
or apportionment method on any separate Missouri return.
(B) Members to Which Different Apportionment and
Allocation Methods Apply. If the affiliated group is composed
of a membership such that, if separate Missouri returns were
filed by each member, the same apportionment and allocation
method under sections 143.455.1 through 143.455.12, RSMo
(relating to general business corporations), 143.455.14, RSMo
(relating to transportation), 143.455.15, RSMo (relating to
railroads, and the like), 143.455.16, RSMo (relating to interstate
bridges), 143.455.17, RSMo (relating to telephone or telegraph
companies), 143.455.13, RSMo (other approved methods), or
12 CSR 10-2.260 would not apply to each member, then the
affiliated group, as a whole, shall determine that portion of its
Missouri consolidated taxable income (all sources) as is derived
from sources within Missouri by application of—
1. The apportionment and allocation method under
sections 143.455.1 through 143.455.12, RSMo, as further clarified
by 12 CSR 10-2.076;
2. The apportionment and allocation approved or required
for the affiliated group under sections 143.455.13(2)–(5), RSMo;
or
3. The percentage obtained by the method set forth in
subsection (14)(C) of this rule, but only if paragraph (14)(B)2. of
this rule does not apply.
(C) Members to Which Different Apportionment and
Allocation Methods Apply—Special Rule. If an affiliated group
is described in subsection (14)(B) of this rule, but paragraph (14)
(B)2. of this rule does not apply to the affiliated group, and it
elects to use the method referred to in paragraph (14)(B)3. of
this rule, it shall arrive at a percentage of Missouri consolidated
taxable income (all sources) as is derived from sources within
Missouri in the following manner:
1. Each member shall determine its own federal taxable
income (loss) for the year, computed as though each member
had filed a separate federal income tax return for the year. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the separate federal taxable
income (loss) of each member shall not reflect the deduction
for net operating loss allowable by IRC Section 172;
2. Each member shall adjust its own separate federal taxable
income (loss) so determined to reflect only the modifications
provided in sections 143.121 and 143.141, RSMo, applicable to
those members (therefore, the federal income tax deduction
under section 143.171, RSMo, for example, is not taken into
account for purposes of computing the percentage under this
subsection). If, as a result of the computation contained in this
paragraph (14)(C)2., a member has a separate Missouri taxable
loss for the year, that member, for purposes of computing the
percentage under subsection (14)(C), shall be considered to
have zero Missouri taxable income (all sources) for the year;
3. The amount determined pursuant to paragraphs (14)(C)1.
and (14)(C)2., for the purposes of computing the percentage
under subsection (14)(C), shall be considered the separate
Missouri taxable income (all sources) of each member for the
year;
4. Each member shall determine that portion of its own
separate Missouri taxable income (all sources) as is derived
from sources within Missouri by application of whichever
apportionment and allocation method under section 143.455,
RSMo, and its related regulations, is applicable to each member
(for example, a method under 12 CSR 10-2.260 may be applicable
to one member, while the method under section 143.455.15,
RSMo, is applicable to another), to arrive at a figure which will
be called preliminary Missouri taxable income which shall not
reflect further deductions or modifications such as the Missouri
Dividends Deduction; and
5. The combined amounts of the preliminary Missouri
taxable income of each member, so determined, shall be divided
by the combined amounts of the Missouri taxable income
(all sources) of each member, so determined, to arrive at a
percentage and the percentage thus obtained shall be deemed
to be that percentage of the Missouri consolidated taxable
income (all sources) as is derived from sources within Missouri.
If the combined amounts of the preliminary Missouri taxable
income of each member total to zero, then the percentage shall
be deemed zero percent (0%) even if the denominator is also
zero.
(15) Intercompany Transactions. All transactions between
required members of the affiliated group for the Missouri
consolidated return year shall be eliminated for purposes of the
Missouri consolidated income tax return. This includes all gross
receipts, for purposes of section 143.455, RSMo, resulting from
such transactions.
(16) Subsequent Missouri Consolidated Return Years. In the
determination of Missouri consolidated taxable income
(Missouri sources) for its second and succeeding Missouri
consolidated return years, the affiliated group shall use the
same apportionment and allocation method as it used in its
first year, or select a different apportionment and allocation
method to the extent permitted pursuant to subsection (14)(B)
of this rule.
(17) Election of Interstate Division of Income Method. For any
taxable year, the apportionment and allocation method elected
under subsection (14)(B) is irrevocable for that taxable year,
regardless of when such election is made.
(18) Computation of Tax Liability. The Missouri corporate income
tax liability of an affiliated group for a Missouri consolidated
return year shall be determined by adding together—
(A) The tax imposed by section 143.071, RSMo, on the Missouri
consolidated taxable income (Missouri sources) for each year;
(B) The additions to tax imposed by section 143.741, RSMo;
(C) The additions to tax and penalties imposed by section
143.751, RSMo; and
(D) The additions to tax imposed by section 143.761, RSMo.
(19) Liability For Tax. The common parent corporation and each
required member which was a member of the affiliated group
during any part of the Missouri consolidated return year shall be
jointly and severally liable for the tax computed in accordance
with this rule, together with the interest on the tax, computed
in accordance with section 143.731, RSMo, with the exception of
any required members who are entirely exempt from Missouri
corporate income tax for the Missouri consolidated return year
pursuant to section 143.441.2, RSMo. No agreement entered into
by one (1) or more members of the affiliated group with any
other member of the group or with any other person in any
case shall have the effect of reducing the liability prescribed.
(20) Consolidated Return Made by Common Parent. The
Missouri consolidated return shall be made by the common
parent on Form MO-1120 (Corporation Income Tax Return) and
shall be filed by the common parent. By filing the consolidated
return, the common parent warrants that it has or has obtained,
where necessary, any consent or authorization by a subsidiary
or affiliate within the affiliated group to comply with the
provisions of Missouri statutes and regulations pertaining to
the consolidated return and to serve as their agent consistent
with section (22) of this rule.
(21) Attachments to Form MO-1120. In addition to those
matters required of all corporations, an affiliated group filing
a consolidated Missouri return shall be required to submit the
following items in paper or electronic format:
(A) A detailed schedule—
1. Identifying any members of the affiliated group that are
required members and included on the Missouri consolidated
return;
2. Identifying any members of the affiliated group that are
not required members and the reason for exclusion; and
3. Showing all adjustments to federal consolidated taxable
income due to the exclusion of any members of the affiliated
group that are not required members;
(B) A copy of the federal consolidated return, with all
attachments and schedules, that was filed or is being filed with
the Internal Revenue Service for the same taxable year (if any);
and
(C) The affiliated group shall attach to its Form MO-MS
(Corporation Allocation and Apportionment of Income) a
detailed schedule in which the interstate division of income
data of each member of the affiliated group is set forth.
(22) Common Parent as Agent for All Other Members. The
common parent, for all purposes regarding Missouri corporate
income tax under Chapter 143, RSMo, shall be the sole agent for
each subsidiary member in the affiliated group, duly authorized
to act in its own name in all matters relating to the Missouri
income tax liability for the Missouri consolidated return year.
No subsidiary member shall have authority to act for or to
represent itself in any matter regarding Missouri corporate
income tax for the same Missouri consolidated return year. The
identification of the common parent on or with the filing of the
MO-1120 for the Missouri consolidated return year, or a prior
year, constitutes the designation of the common parent as an
authorized representative for purposes of section 32.057, RSMo,
with respect to each and all subsidiary members, and authorizes
the disclosure of all tax information of any subsidiary member
(for the Missouri consolidated return year and all prior years) to
the common parent. For the Missouri consolidated return year,
the common parent will file claims for refund or credit regarding
Missouri corporate income tax and any Missouri corporate
income tax refund will be made directly to and in the name of
the common parent and will discharge any liability of Missouri
in respect to that refund to any subsidiary member, and the
common parent in its name will execute closing agreements
and all other documents regarding Missouri corporate income
tax and any agreement or any other documents so executed
shall be considered as having also been given or executed by
each subsidiary member. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this section, any notice of deficiency, in respect to the tax for a
Missouri consolidated return year, may name each corporation
which was a member of the affiliated group during any part of
the period (but a failure to include the name of any member will
not affect the validity of the notice of deficiency as to the other
members); any notice and demand for payment may name
each corporation which was a member of the affiliated group
during any part of the period (but a failure to include the name
of any member will not effect the validity of the notice and
demand as to the other members); and any other proceeding
to collect the amount of any assessment, after the assessment
has been made, may name the corporation from which the
collection is to be made. The provisions of this section shall
apply whether or not a Missouri consolidated return is made
for any subsequent year and whether or not one (1) or more
subsidiaries have become or have ceased to be members of the
affiliated group at any time. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this section, the director, upon notifying the common parent,
may deal directly with any subsidiary member of the affiliated
group with respect to its liability, in which event that member
shall have full authority to act for itself.
(23) Notification of Deficiency to Corporation Which Has
Ceased to be a Member of an Affiliated Group. If a subsidiary
has ceased to be a member of an affiliated group and if the
subsidiary files written notice of the cessation with the director,
then the director, upon written request of that subsidiary, will
furnish it with a copy of any notice of deficiency with respect to
the tax for a Missouri consolidated return year for which it was
a member and a copy of any notice and demand for payment
of the deficiency. The filing of the written notification and
request by a subsidiary corporation shall not limit the scope
of the agency of the common parent provided in section (22)
of this rule. Failure by the director to comply with the written
request shall not limit the liability of the corporation provided
in section (22) of this rule.
(24) Effect of Dissolution of Common Parent. If a common parent
contemplates dissolution, or is about to be dissolved, or if for any
other reason its existence is about to terminate, it shall notify
the director of that fact and designate, subject to the approval
of the director, another member of the affiliated group to act as
agent in its place to the same extent and subject to the same
conditions and limitations as are applicable to the common
parent (including as authorized representative pursuant to
section 32.057, RSMo), notwithstanding any provision of this
rule to the contrary. If the notice thus required is not given by
the common parent, or the designation is not approved by the
director, the remaining members of the affiliated group, subject
to the approval of the director, may designate another member
of the group to act as the agent in place of the common parent
(including as authorized representative pursuant to section
32.057, RSMo), notwithstanding any provision of this rule to
the contrary, and notice of that designation shall be given to
the director. Until a notice in writing designating a new agent
has been approved by the director, any notice of deficiency or
other communication mailed to the common parent shall be
considered as having been properly mailed to the agent and
authorized representative (for purposes of section 32.057, RSMo)
of the affiliated group; or if the director has reason to believe
that the existence of the common parent has terminated, if s/
he deems it advisable, s/he may deal directly with any member
of the affiliated group with respect to its Missouri consolidated
tax liability, and such member shall be deemed an authorized
representative of each and all members of the affiliated group
for purposes of section 32.057, RSMo.
(25) Automatic Termination of Right to File Missouri Consolidated Return. The right of an affiliated group to file a Missouri consolidated return for the taxable year shall be dependent
upon that group filing a federal consolidated return for the
same year. Upon the discontinuance of the filing of a federal
consolidated return, the filing of a Missouri consolidated return
shall similarly be discontinued.
(26) Permission to Discontinue Filing Missouri Consolidated
Return—Substantial Change in Law or Regulation. Upon
timely written notice to the director, an affiliated group may
discontinue the filing of a Missouri consolidated return for
the taxable year (or may withdraw a Missouri consolidated
return previously filed for the taxable year) if the net result of
all amendments to applicable law and the corresponding rules
with effective dates commencing within the taxable year has
a substantial adverse effect on the Missouri consolidated tax
liability of the affiliated group for that year relative to what the
aggregate Missouri tax liability would be if the members of the
affiliated group filed separate Missouri returns for the year.
(A) Prima Facie Substantial Change. The difference between
the Missouri consolidated tax liability, taking into account the
changes in the law or regulations effective for the year and the
aggregate Missouri tax liability of the members of the affiliated
group computed as if each member filed a separate Missouri
return for the year, also taking into account the changes in the
law or regulations effective for the year (postlaw difference),
shall be compared with the difference between the Missouri
consolidated tax liability of the affiliated group for the taxable
year, without regard to the changes in the law or regulations,
and the aggregate Missouri tax liability of the members of the
affiliated group computed as if separate Missouri returns had
been filed by the members for the year, also without regard to
the changes in the law or regulations (prelaw difference). If the
postlaw difference is one hundred fifteen percent (115%) greater
than the prelaw difference and that difference is at least thirty
thousand dollars ($30,000), a substantial adverse change shall
be deemed to have occurred.
(B) Timely Notice. Any notice to discontinue the filing of
Missouri consolidated returns on account of section (26) shall
be made in writing to the director on or before the later of—
1. Ninety (90) days before the due date (including extensions
of time) for the filing of the Missouri consolidated return for the
taxable year; or
2. One hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective
date of the law or regulation on account of which a substantial
change is alleged to have occurred.
(C) In the event that a prima facie substantial change does not
exist and the director determines that a substantial change in
law or regulation adversely changing the Missouri consolidated
tax liability has not occurred, the director may treat an attempt
by the affiliated group to file on a non-consolidated basis as the
affiliated group having engaged in improper separate return
filing consistent with section (12) of this rule. Affiliated groups
are strongly encouraged to obtain a binding letter ruling
pursuant to 12 CSR 10-1.020 prior to any attempt to discontinue
the filing of Missouri consolidated returns on account of a
substantial change in law or regulation adversely changing
income tax liability.
(27) Permission to Discontinue Filing Missouri Consolidated
Returns For Good Cause. Upon the timely written application
by the affiliated group and upon showing of good cause for
the action, the director may permit the affiliated group to
discontinue the filing of Missouri consolidated returns. Any
application for permission to discontinue the filing of Missouri
consolidated return on account of section (27) shall be made
to the director no later than the 90th day before the due date
(including extensions of time) for the filing of the Missouri
consolidated return for the year. A relief extension of the
due date to apply for permission to discontinue the filing of
Missouri consolidated return may be granted even after such
due date has passed, subject to the same procedure, conditions,
and requirements as the relief extension discussed in section
(9) of this rule.
(28) Revocation of Right to File Missouri Consolidated
Return. The director, upon finding that the filing of Missouri
consolidated returns by the affiliated group does not clearly
reflect the Missouri taxable income derived from sources
within Missouri and for the purpose of preventing avoidance
of Missouri tax liability, may terminate the right of an affiliated
group to file a Missouri consolidated return for that year or, in
the alternative, may distribute, apportion, or allocate items of
income, deductions, credits, or allowances between or among
the members of the affiliated group so that the portion of the
Missouri consolidated taxable income (all sources) as is derived
from sources within Missouri is clearly reflected. The procedure
outlined in sections 143.611–143.691, RSMo, inclusive, shall be
applicable to actions of the director under this section.
(29) Estimated Tax on Consolidated Basis. Beginning with its
third Missouri consolidated return year, an affiliated group
shall file its declaration of estimated tax on a consolidated basis
for that year and for each subsequent Missouri consolidated
return year. The group shall be treated as a single corporation
for purposes of sections 143.521 through 143.541, RSMo (relating
to the declaration and payment of estimated tax). If separate
Missouri returns are filed by the members for a taxable year, the
amount of any estimated tax payments made with respect to a
Missouri consolidated declaration of estimated tax for that year
shall be credited against the separate Missouri tax liabilities
of the members in any manner designated by the common
parent which is satisfactory to the director. The consolidated
declaration of estimated tax shall be filed and payment shall be
made by the common parent.
(30) Estimated Tax on Separate Basis. For each taxable year
preceding the third Missouri consolidated return year,
declarations of estimated tax may be filed and payments of
estimated tax may be made on either a consolidated or separate
member basis. For the first two (2) Missouri consolidated return
years, the amount of any estimated tax payments made for the
year by the members of the affiliated group shall be credited
against the Missouri consolidated tax liability of the affiliated
group for that year.
(31) Additions to Tax For Failure to Pay Estimated Tax on
Consolidated Basis. If the affiliated group is required to file
a Missouri consolidated declaration of estimated tax under
section (29) of this rule for a taxable year, then, if the group—
(A) Files a Missouri consolidated return for that taxable year,
the “tax shown on the return,” as that phrase is used for the
purposes of section 143.761.4(1), RSMo, shall be the tax shown
on the Missouri consolidated return for the preceding taxable
year, and the term “facts shown on his return,” for purposes of
section 143.761.4(4), RSMo, shall mean the facts shown on the
Missouri consolidated return for the preceding taxable year; or
(B) Does not file a Missouri consolidated return for the
taxable year, the term “amount, if any, of the installment paid,”
for purposes of section 143.761.2(2), RSMo, shall mean, with
respect to a member, the amount allocated to that member in a
manner designated by the common parent which is satisfactory
to the director. For purposes of section 143.761.4(1), RSMo, the
“tax shown on the return” for any member shall be the portion
of the tax shown on the Missouri consolidated return for the
preceding taxable year allocated to that member in a manner
designated by the common parent which is satisfactory to the
director. For purposes of section 143.761.4(4), RSMo, the “facts
shown on his return” shall be the facts shown on the Missouri
consolidated return for the preceding taxable year and the
tax computed pursuant to section 143.761.4(4), RSMo, shall
be allocated to the members in a manner designated by the
common parent and satisfactory to the director.
(32) Additions to Tax For Failure to Pay Estimated Tax on
Separate Basis. If the members of an affiliated group are treated
as separate corporations for the taxable year under section (30)
of this rule and the affiliated group files a Missouri consolidated
return for the year, then, for the purposes of section 143.761.2(1),
RSMo, the “tax shown on the return for the taxable year” for
any member shall be the portion of the tax shown on the
Missouri consolidated return allocable to that member in a
manner designated by the common parent and satisfactory to
the director.
(33) Nothing in this rule shall be interpreted or construed as
incorporating by reference any rule, regulation, standard, or
guideline of a federal agency, with the exception of Treasury
Regulation section 301.9100-3, as found in Title 26, Section
301.9100-3 of the Code of Federal Regulations (last amended
May 6, 2024), which is hereby incorporated by reference (only
for the limited purposes specified below), as published by the
United States Government Publishing Office, 732 N. Capitol

The incorporation by reference of Treasury Regulation section
301.9100-3 applies only to the relief extensions expressly
specified in sections (9) and (27) of this rule. Nothing in this rule
shall be understood to create or authorize a relief extension
other than those expressly specified, using the exact phrase
“relief extension,” in this rule. This rule does not incorporate any
subsequent amendment or additions to Treasury Regulation
section 301.9100-3.
