As a resident of the State of Missouri and member of Samaritan Ministries, you are allowed to deduct all ministry-related amounts you pay each year when calculating your taxable income on your Missouri Individual Income Tax Return. We are thankful for a legislator with a heart for health care sharing ministries who, through the providence of God, spearheaded the 2007 passage of the law that allows for this deduction. Tax year 2024 marks the eighteenth year that this tax deduction has been allowed.

You will use Form MO-1040 to record your health care sharing deduction.
