23 Miss. Code. R. 105-1.4 - [Effective until 7/1/2025] Non-Filer Rules
A. A non-filer is
someone who neither files a federal tax return nor is claimed as a tax
dependent. For individuals who are non-filers or exceptions to tax filer rules,
budgeting rules depend on whether the individual is an adult or child under age
19 living in the same household.
B.
A non-filer adult's household includes the non-filer, the non-filer's spouse
and his/her children living together. Income includes all countable MAGI income
received by the household members except the income of a child not required to
file a federal tax return does not count as income to the household. The
exception to the rule of counting a child's income based on his/her tax filing
requirement is this: if a child is also a parent of child(ren) living in the
household, the child's income must be counted toward his/her child(ren)
regardless of the requirement to file a federal tax return.
C. A non-filer child's household includes the
non-filer child and the child's parent(s) and siblings living
together.
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
