KS state Tax

[xnssk]

Do I need to report KS state tax if I do not live in KS due to work in oversea and no income from KS, no property but I am KS resident?

Hi,

You do have a filing requirement in Kansas if Kansas remains your domicile (the place to which a person, whenever absent, that person intends to return.  Kansas tax filing instructions clearly state:

"A Kansas resident for income tax purposes is anyone who lives in Kansas, regardless of
where they are employed. An individual who is away from Kansas for a period of time and has intentions of returning to Kansas is a resident.

If you were a Kansas resident for the entire year, you must file a Kansas individual income tax return if: 1) you
are required to file a federal income tax return or, 2) your Kansas adjusted gross income is more than the total of your Kansas standard deduction and exemption allowance."

Hope this helps!

Hi xnssk, thanks for posting an event question.

You indicate that you are a Kansas resident. (Anyone who lives in Kansas, regardless of where employed is a resident. An individual away from Kansas for a period of time who has intentions of returning to Kansas is a resident.)

As a Kansas resident, you must file a Kansas return if you are required to file a Federal return, or your Kansas Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is more than the total of Kansas standard deduction and exemption allowance.  Kansas AGI is Federal AGI after additions and subtractions.

Please see Q1 of below IRS frequently asked questions if you need to file a US tax return.
