Filing Claims Assistance in Carl Junction, MO

Are you a senior citizen or a disabled resident living in Carl Junction? You may be leaving money on the table. At Blood Tax Service, we specialize in Filing Claims Assistance, specifically helping eligible Missourians apply for the Missouri Property Tax Credit (MO-PTC), often referred to as the “Circuit Breaker” program. Whether you own your home or pay rent, this state program offers a refund to help offset your housing costs—and you don’t necessarily need to file a full income tax return to get it. We are here to help you navigate the paperwork and ensure you receive the full refund you deserve.

What is the Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim?

The Missouri Property Tax Credit is a program designed to provide financial relief to seniors and disabled individuals who are burdened by real estate taxes or high rent costs. It functions as a refund, returning a portion of the real estate taxes or rent you paid during the year.

  • For Homeowners: It is a credit based on the real estate taxes paid on your primary residence.
  • For Renters: It is a credit based on a percentage of the total rent paid during the year.

Many Carl Junction residents assume they don’t qualify because they don’t pay income tax, but this is a standalone claim that can be filed separately!

Who Is Eligible for a Claim?

Determining eligibility can be confusing, but Blood Tax Service makes it easy. Generally, you may qualify for the Property Tax Credit if you are a Missouri resident and meet one of the following criteria:

  • Age 65 or older (or a surviving spouse age 65 or older).
  • 100% Disabled (as defined by Social Security or other federal guidelines).
  • Age 60 or older and receiving surviving spouse social security benefits.
  • Disabled Veteran (100% service-connected disability).

Note: There are maximum income limits that apply to both homeowners and renters. We can quickly review your income documents to tell you if you qualify.
