Form 80-160-22-1-2-000 (Rev. 10/22)
Mississippi
Tax Credit For Income Tax Paid
To One Or More Other States
If you are a resident of Mississippi who earns income in another state and are required to pay an income tax to that other state, you are allowed to
take a credit against your Mississippi income tax due in the same year for the total income tax due to the other state (subject to certain limitations). The
withholding amounts shown on your W-2 forms are NOT the same as actual tax paid to the other state. Copies of withholding statements are not
sufficient to establish the credit. In order to be allowed this credit, you MUST file an income tax return with the other state and attach a copy of the other
state returns along with this Form 80-160 to your Mississippi return.
Limitations
Miss. Code Ann. Section 27-7-77 provides for the following three limitations:
(1) The credit may not exceed the amount of income tax due the State of Mississippi, indicated on line 17;
(2) The credit may not exceed the amount of income tax actually paid to the other state; and
(3) The credit may not exceed an amount computed by applying the highest applicable Mississippi rates to the net taxable income reported to the other
state. Highest rates is defined as the highest rates at which the net taxable income reported to the other state is taxable by the State of Mississippi.
