Kansas Tax Filing Guide

Here are detailed instructions for filing taxes in the state of Kansas.

Kansas Residents

If your domicile home was in Kansas for the entire year you are a Kansas resident. Kansas residents that were required to file a Federal tax return or earned more income that permitted (you must add the value in the Kansas Chart to your deduction to find what is permitted) will need to file a Kansas resident income tax return. Please note that when filing your Kansas return your filing status will need to be the same status you filed for your Federal return, the only exception is that if you filed your Federal return as either Qualifying Widow or Widower with Dependent Child your Kansas return status will be Head of Household. To see what your tax rate will be see the Kansas Tax Rates chart (attached below). To file your return use Form-40 (attached below). For additional information or assistance see Form-40 Tax Booklet (attached below).

Kansas Residents who lived in Kansas for part of the year

If you moved into or out of Kansas during the last year you are a part-year resident of Kansas. Part-year residents may file either as a Kansas resident or nonresident. If you decide to file as a resident see the resident section (the same filing requirements exist). If you decide to file as a nonresident see the nonresident sections. You should examine both options for your own benefit.

Kansas Residents who work in another state

If your domicile home was in Kansas for the entire year you are a Kansas resident. Kansas residents that were required to file a Federal tax return or earned more income that permitted (you must add the value in the Kansas Chart to your deduction to find what is permitted) will need to file a Kansas resident income tax return. Please note that when filing your Kansas return your filing status will need to be the same status you filed for your Federal return, the only exception is that if you filed your Federal return as either Qualifying Widow or Widower with Dependent Child your Kansas return status will be Head of Household. To see what your tax rate will be see the Kansas Tax Rates chart (attached below). To file your return use Form-40 (attached below). For additional information or assistance see Form-40 Instructions (attached below).

If you are a Kansas resident working in another state Kansas will tax the income you earned in the other state because all income earned by Kansas resident is taxed by Kansas. However you may also be taxed on such income by the state the income was earned in. In this is the case, to avoid dual taxation on such income; Kansas offers a tax credit on this income. To file for this credit complete the worksheet in the Form-40 Tax Booklet. You will need to file this worksheet along with your Kansas return (filed using Form-40), your W2 (obtained from your employer), and the other state’s return.
