- SUBJECT:
- SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAXES
DISCUSSION:
IM Memorandum IM-#90, dated October 24, 2008 introduced the ST (self-employment taxes) code. FAMIS counts 100% of this tax as an expense for the Food Stamp and Child Care Programs. FAMIS counts 50% of this tax as an expense for the Temporary Assistance and MO HealthNet Programs. The ST (self-employment taxes) expense code was not available for all self-employment income sources.
Effective July 13, 2009 the ST (Self-employment Taxes) code is an allowable expense for income sources FA (farm income-gross of more that $1000 per year), RE (rental-working more that 20 hours per week), SE (self-employment other than child care), and CC (child care self-employment).
This is not a change in policy, but is a change in FAMIS.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
