Form MO-SCC - Shared Care Tax Credit

Overview: Form MO-SCC

In Missouri, the Shared Care Tax Credit, also known as Form MO-SCC, is a financial incentive provided to eligible taxpayers. It supports those who care about older family members in their own homes instead of placing them in long-term care facilities. The credit is designed to lighten the burden for families who shoulder the responsibility of care by reducing their state tax liability.

Eligibility requirements for the Missouri shared care tax credit

To qualify for the Shared Care Tax Credit, applicants must meet certain criteria. Firstly, the care recipient must be 60 years or older and deemed unable to live independently due to a disability. The caregiver and recipient must reside together and the care provided should meet the specific needs of the care recipient. Ensuring you qualify is the first step towards reaping the financial rewards that accompany the responsibility of shared caregiving.
