State tax filing

How do you have it withheld if they don't take out KS withholding?  Or do you mean you have more federal tax withheld?  Yes you need to enter it on your tax return  unless it's part of your 1099R retirement in box 4. 

 

If you pay state withholding or a state tax due you can enter it on your federal tax return as a deduction.  But it is only used as a deduction if your total Itemized Deductions are more than the Standard Deduction.  There is a max 10,000 limit (5,000 MFS) of property tax and state taxes "SALT". SALT is State And Local Tax. Which includes property tax, any state tax paid like for last year’s return and includes any state withholding from your W2s and any 1099s you have. And any taxes in W2 box 14 and 19 like SDI or VDI. You can only deduct up to 10,000 (5,000 MFS) for SALT State and Local Taxes.

 

For 2023 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 13,850 + 1,850 for 65 and over or blind (15,700)

HOH 20,800 + 1,850 for 65 and over or blind (22,650)

Joint 27,700 + 1,500 for each 65 and over or blind (29,200/30,700)

Married filing Separate 13,850 + 1,500 for 65 and over or blind (15,350)
