  What should I do if my address changed since I filed my last Kansas tax form?

  If your address changed from last year, you are still able to use WebFile. Please enter your new address information when prompted and select the "Name or Address" change box.

  Why does the Schedule S not display in WebFile?

  If you need to complete information for Schedule S – Part A, you MUST answer “Yes” to the question pertaining to the Schedule S – Part A on the "Federal Details" page. This question clearly asks whether you have modifications to your federal adjusted gross income.

  How many exemptions can I claim?

  Enter the total exemptions for you, your spouse (if applicable) and each person you can claim as a dependent. However, if you file as "Head of Household" on your federal return you are allowed to claim one additional exemption on your Kansas return. If you file as "Head of Household," WebFile automatically includes the additional Kansas exemption. If another person claims you as a dependent on their return, you may not claim an exemption for yourself on your Kansas return.

  Will I need to mail anything to the Kansas Department of Revenue?

  Please do NOT mail any W-2's or 1099 forms. However, you must complete and mail or fax the appropriate schedules to claim some tax credits. You may access printable copies (in Adobe PDF file format) of the schedules online. If you underpaid (owe) and choose to pay using a personal check or money order, you must print, fill it out, and mail it with your payment to Kansas Department of Revenue. You do NOT need to mail a copy of your tax return with your voucher form. You MUST mail the voucher form and payment to the Kansas Department of Revenue to complete your tax return filing. Please mail the schedules and voucher form with payment to:
