Mississippi Residents who work in another state

If you are a resident of Mississippi who worked in another state you will need to report all income you earned regardless of where the income was earned. This is because Mississippi taxes all income earned by its residents. If the state you earned the income in taxes this income however you maybe entitled to a tax credit. To qualify for this credit turn in the return you filed with the other state to Mississippi along with your Mississippi tax return. To file a Mississippi return use Form-80-105 (attached below). For more information see Form-80-100 (instructions for Residents/Nonresidents, attached below).
