If you are a resident of Kansas but worked in another state and are required to file an income tax return there, you may claim a credit for the taxes paid to that state. Enter the state information here. If the other state does not require an income tax return, you will not receive a credit from Kansas.

If you lived in Kansas part of the year and you worked in another state while living here and you are now filing as a nonresident, you may claim a credit for the taxes paid to the other state. Income earned in another state must be reported on Kansas Schedule S, Part B, in the column labeled "amount from Kansas sources." Enter the state information here. If the other state does not require an income tax return, you will not receive a credit from Kansas.

Please note, credit for taxes paid to other states is based on the other state's actual tax liability, not the other state's withholding.

Can I take a credit if I paid income taxes to a local jurisdiction such as a city?

In Kansas local jurisdictions cannot impose an income tax. If you do pay an income tax to a local jurisdiction in another state, there is no credit allowed for these payments on the Kansas income tax return. Kansas only allows a tax credit for income tax paid to another state or foreign country.

What do I do if I receive a Missouri Article X refund?

The State of Missouri issues refunds to Missouri taxpayers as a result of an Article X distribution. If you itemize your deductions and are claiming a credit for taxes paid to Missouri, you must reduce the amount of taxes paid to Missouri by a portion of the refund amount when calculating your Kansas tax credit. This amount can be found on your 1099G provided by the State of Missouri.
