Tax credit records and documents deemed closed records, when
When someone applies for a tax credit from a Missouri government agency, the paperwork they submit is kept private while the application is still being decided. Once the application is approved or denied, those records can be made public. If a record has both private and public parts, the agency shares a version with the private parts blacked out. The agency can charge a fee for the time it takes to black out that information.
