Kansas Missouri hybrid

[andrewforester8]

I live in Kansas, but my office is in Missouri. I work in a pretty flexible hybrid situation where I work both at home and in office, however, I have not kept track of the number of days worked in each location. Do I need to pay for Kansas returns as well? My company did not withhold for Kansas, so I am owing a lot of money when I am on my returns

Yes, you must file a Kansas return. If you are a resident in the state of Kansas and you file a federal return, you are required to file a Kansas state return.

The general rule is: your report all your income on your home state return, even the income earned out of state. You file a non-resident state return for the state you worked in and pay tax to that state. Your home state will give you a credit, or partial credit, for what you paid the non-resident state. You will have to file a non resident MO state return and pay MO tax on the income earned there.. You will also file a KS full year resident return and calculate tax on ALL your income. KS will give you a credit, or partial credit, for the tax you pay MO. So, there will be little or no double taxation, but you have the cost and hassle of filing two state returns. Do the nonresident state return first.
