JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMOX) — Missouri survivors of the 9/11 attacks would leave behind a tax refund for their relatives when they die, under a bill before the Missouri Legislature.
Under the plan, which is allowed by the IRS, the final four years of taxes paid by 9/11 survivors in Missouri would be reimbursed to their relatives.
Local CPA Fred Zrenner has a 9/11 widow as a client.
Zrenner says there are some 63 first responders and survivors from the attack on the World Trade Center in New York, who currently live in Missouri. He says the average reimbursement would be around $10,000.
Right now the bill is in committee in the Missouri Senate and is being introduced Wednesday in the Missouri House.
Missouri is one of some 40 states that has not enacted the legislation.
