How Kansas income taxes work#
Kansas levies income taxes at different rates for joint and non-joint filers. The tax brackets and rates are as follows:
For joint filers:
-
3.1% on income up to $30,000
-
5.25% on income between $30,000 and $60,000
-
5.7% on income over $60,000
For non-joint filers:
-
3.1% on income up to $15,000
-
5.25% on income between $15,000 and $30,000
-
5.7% on income over $30,000
Kansas offers a personal exemption of $2,250 per person. It allows either itemized deductions or a standard deduction ranging from $3,500 to $8,000, depending on filing status, with a bonus for elderly and blind filers. The state also limits its taxable Social Security subtraction to filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) at or below $75,000.
In addition to the tax rates and exemptions, Kansas also matches 25% of the federal Child and Dependent Care Credit (CDCC) and 17% of the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
