Missouri applies graduated income tax rates with a top rate of 4.7% (under a trigger-based schedule of continuing reductions) to the taxable portion of annuity distributions. Qualified annuity distributions (IRA or 401(k) rollovers) are fully taxable as ordinary income; non-qualified annuities are taxed only on the earnings portion under exclusion-ratio rules. Missouri provides a public pension exemption for government retirement benefits; private annuities and IRA distributions generally do not qualify.
Good news for retirees: Missouri no longer taxes Social Security benefits — the prior income-based limits were eliminated. Federal income tax and the 10% federal early-withdrawal penalty (before age 59½) apply as usual. Verify the current-year rate with the Missouri Department of Revenue, as trigger-based reductions continue.

Missouri Annuity Regulations
Free Look Period: At least 10 days; see your contract's cover page
Missouri annuity contracts include a free look period — a window after delivery during which you may return the contract for a full refund with no surrender charges. The minimum period is at least 10 days for most contracts, with the exact terms stated on your contract's cover page.
Carriers may offer longer periods than the state minimum. Confirm current requirements with the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance.

Best Interest Standard: Adopted — effective August 30, 2024
Effective August 30, 2024, Missouri holds producers to the NAIC best-interest standard of conduct when recommending an annuity (20 CSR 400-5.900; DCI Insurance Bulletin 24-07). The producer must act in the consumer's best interest — satisfying care, disclosure, conflict-of-interest, and documentation obligations — and may not place their own financial interest ahead of the consumer's. Producers must complete a 4-hour best-interest training course before selling annuities, and insurers must maintain supervision systems.

Replacement Rules
Missouri requires consumer protections when an existing annuity or life insurance policy is replaced:
- A written replacement notice identifying the contracts being replaced and disclosing surrender charges, benefits, and features being given up.
- Notification to the existing insurer.
- A documented best-interest basis for the recommendation under 20 CSR 400-5.900.
