Overview
Kansas residency requirements for state taxes
Domicile test for Kansas taxation
The Kansas Department of Revenue (KS DOR) primarily determines tax residency through the concept of domicile. Your domicile is considered your permanent home—the place you intend to return to whenever you're away. To be a Kansas resident for state income tax purposes, you must be domiciled in the state or meet the statutory resident test. Factors that the Kansas DOR considers in determining domicile include the location of your permanent home, where you're registered to vote, where you maintain bank accounts, and where your family resides. Understanding these factors is crucial for accurately calculating your Kansas taxable income.
183-day statutory resident test for Kansas state taxes
If you're not domiciled in Kansas, you may still be considered a resident for Kansas state income tax purposes if you meet the statutory resident test. This applies if you maintain a permanent place of abode in Kansas and spend more than 183 days of the tax year in the state. It's important to note that any part of a day spent in Kansas generally counts as a full day for this test, with some exceptions for travel days. This rule impacts not only your income tax but potentially your Kansas retail tax and Kansas sales tax obligations as well.
Part-year residency and Kansas state return considerations
The Kansas DOR recognizes part-year residency for individuals who move into or out of the state during the tax year. If you become or cease to be a Kansas resident during the year, you'll need to file a part-year Kansas state return. This return will report income earned from all sources while you were a resident, and only Kansas-source income for the portion of the year you were a nonresident. Understanding your residency status is crucial for accurate Kansas taxation reporting, including potential impacts on Kansas property tax and real estate taxes in Kansas.
Military personnel special rules for Kansas taxes
Active duty military personnel have special considerations for Kansas state taxes. If you're in the military and stationed in Kansas but maintain legal residency in another state, you're generally not considered a Kansas resident for tax purposes. However, non-military income earned in Kansas may still be subject to state tax. Conversely, Kansas residents in the military who are stationed outside the state typically remain Kansas residents for tax purposes. Military personnel should be aware that while the Internal Revenue Service Kansas MO 64999 office (also known as IRS Kansas Missouri) handles federal taxes, state tax matters are managed by the Kansas Department of Revenue.
