Anyone who earns income in the state is subject to tax collection at these rates. In 2013, the Sunflower State revised its income tax system, reducing both the rates and tax brackets. Single taxpayers and those who file separate returns form their spouses are subject to the following taxation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">3% on the first $15,000 in taxable income<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">4.9 % between $15,001 and $30,000 of taxable income.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Married couples who file jointly are subject to the same rates, though the income amounts are doubled to accommodate both parties. In 2014, the brackets are set to be reduced again, to 2.7% and 4.8%, with continued reductions scheduled through 2018. Typically, tax returns are due on the 15<\/span><span class=\"s3\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> of April, unless the day coincides with a Saturday, Sunday or holiday.

No matter how long an individual is away from the state, if they have intentions of returning to Kansas, then they are considered a resident. Taxpayers who were residents for the entire year have to file a Kansas Individual Income Tax Return if they are required to file federal income taxes, OR if their state AGI is greater than the total standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etax.com\/blog\/2026\/02\/19\/new-auto-loan-interest-deduction-how-to-save-up-to-10000-on-your-taxes-2025-2028\/\">deduction<\/a> and exemption allowance for Kansas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Examples Single taxpayers over 65 who have an AGI under $6,100 aren\u2019t required to file a return in Kansas.

If you earn income in another state and it is taxed by that state, you should fill out the interview section of your income tax return and determine your credit for taxes paid to the other state. You\u2019ll need to supply a copy of the other state\u2019s return with your Kansas return. Copies of W-2 forms aren\u2019t considered proof.
