A Kansas resident for income tax purposes is anyone who lives in Kansas, regardless of where he or she is employed. An individual who is away from Kansas for a period of time and has intentions of returning to Kansas is a resident.
If you were a Kansas resident for the entire year, you must file a Kansas Individual Income Tax return if:
- You are required to file a federal income tax return, OR
- Your Kansas adjusted gross income is more than the total of your Kansas standard deduction and exemption allowance
