What is the name of your state? MO
This is very state-specific and on the surface seems like a stupid question but...
Missouri allows a "head of a family" exemption in Missouri worth $1250 plus so much per dependent child. This implies you need a child to qualify but....
What's interesting is "head of a family" is NOT defined ANYWHERE in Missouri law except in section 160, where a "head of a family" is defined as a parent with at least one dependent child OR a person living with their spouse....
Which suggests that any married couple could take the exemption.
Any Missouri attorneys out there care to comment? Am I missing something?
