After completing my Kansas tax form I received the following message, " K-40PT indicates that this is an amended claim, therefore, you are not eligible to file electronically." I do not understand this because this is the only Income Tax Form I have completed for Kansas. How can this problem be resolved?

I recommend you go through your state interview section again for Kansas. There is a question towards the end of the interview section which asks Would you like to file an amended return.

It is possible this question was accidentally check yes instead of no.

If you go through the interview section again, you will be able to change you answer to no on this screen and proceed with your state return.

KS amend questions

Select Other forms and revisit to the right of Amended Return on the screen above. You will see the following screen.

Be sure to select I don't want to amend my return.

Tried that too. No joy. It still comes back every time it checks errors and won't let me e-file without it.

Form K-40PT is a Property Tax Relief Claim form for low income seniors. Are you intending on including the claim in your return? If not, try deleting that form and see if you can file. And if you are trying to include it, go back through that section in the Kansas return and make sure you did not answer anything that would mark the ''amended'' claim box, see image below.

Kansas has 2 property tax credits available:

The Homestead Refund is a rebate program for the property taxes paid by homeowners. (K-40H)
SAFESR is a property tax refund program administered under the provisions of the Kansas Homestead Act (property tax refund). SAFESR is also referred to as, "Kansas Property Tax Relief for Low Income Seniors". (K-40PT)

A claimant may receive either a Homestead or a SAFESR refund but not both. @zostay
