Hello,
Just received a nice letter from the Kansas Department of Revenue saying for the year 2017 they were "unable to verify the amount of Withholding claimed. Please submit all W-2s and 1099-Rs depicting KS withholding." The total balance they are saying I owe is significant.
I pulled out all of my documentation and the exact amount they say they are unable to verify was listed on a W-2 from a job I had in Missouri. I was not at this job the whole year. The way I understood it is that KS would give me a credit for work performed outside the state. For the year 2017 I did file a KS and a MO tax return and listed I was a resident of KS and a non-resident of MO. However, I'm not sure what my next step is, do I write the Kansas Department of Revenue back and tell them the reason for the discrepancies is due to the fact I was working in MO? Also is it recommended to pay the amount they say I owe to stop the interest and penalties? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
