Yes, you will need to file a return for both Kansas and Alabama as Kansas. 

 

Yes and no, it depends on which state has a higher tax rate. 

 

In general, your home state will tax all in come from all sources.  What you will do is you will file a nonresident return for Alabama first.    Then you will fill out your Kansas resident state return, claiming a credit for taxes paid to the nonresident states on your Kansas return.  You may or may not still end up owing money to your resident state depending on whether or not their tax rate is higher or lower than your nonresident state.  If the non resident state had a higher tax rate than your resident state, your credit will be limited to the amount of tax you would have paid to your resident state.  They will not give you a refund of the taxes you paid to the nonresident state.
