This form must be filed by residents and non-residents of the City of St. Louis, whenever the Earnings Tax has not been 
  completely withheld from salaries, wages, tips or other compensation as reported on each W-2, less any income derived 
  from stock options. Stock options not represented on the W-2 will require documentation from your employer. If you are self-
  employed or have 1099-MISC income, your return must be filed using Form E-234.
Please use Form E-1R to request a refund.
A resident is subject to the Earnings Tax on gross income, regardless of where it is earned. Military active duty and reserve 
  pay is also subject to the Earnings Tax. City Residents are eligible for a credit based on income taxes paid to other states. 
  See below.
Annual leave, sick leave, and/or separation pay of any person who is terminated or separated from a place of employment 
  located within the City of St. Louis is taxable in the year received. No exceptions will be allowed on the basis of where it is 
  earned or where the taxpayer resides.
Form E-1 must be filed on or before April 15th. Joint returns are not permitted. Please mail all returns and payments to:
                                           Gregory F.X. Daly
                                           Collector of Revenue

  until the taxes are paid.

                                  NON-RESIDENCY DEDUCTION INSTRUCTIONS
All wages earned in the City of St. Louis are subject to the Earnings Tax. Non-resident taxpayers seeking a “Non-Residency 
  Deduction” must only claim whole days worked outside the City, not including remote work. Employees who start and/or 
  finish their work day in the City are not allowed to use that as a day worked out of the City per Streckfus Steamers vs. City 
  of St. Louis, 472 S.W. 2d 660 (1971).Please note: neither vacation and sick days, nor holidays are allowed as a deduction.
Employees who work remotely from home should be treated as working at their original principal place of work. These days 
  may not be included in the Non-Residency Deduction formula on Form E-1R when claiming a refund. 

Non-residency deduction claims must be supported by a signed letter from your employer on official letterhead, stating 
  whole days worked outside the City during the year. Failure to provide this documentation will result in the disallowance of 
  the deduction.
Residents living in the City for a partial year may use this formula to calculate their deduction for wages earned outside the 
  City. A copy of a mortgage deed or lease is required to verify the time lived in the City of St. Louis. Failure to provide this 
  documentation will result in the disallowance of the deduction.

                           RESIDENT CREDIT FOR INCOME TAXES PAID IN OTHER STATES
A city resident is allowed a credit for income taxes paid in other states (see EARNINGS TAX CREDIT REGULATIONS 
  on Collector of Revenue website). Complete Form E-1CR. A copy of each state’s income tax return and Form E-1CR is 
  required for approval of the credit. 
The credit is not to exceed City Earnings Tax paid.
