This credit is for residents only – not part-year residents or nonresidents. The Kansas Earned Income Tax Credit is based on a percentage of the federal EITC. Enter the allowable Earned Income Credit (EIC) amount claimed on your federal tax return.
EITC from Federal Return:
Important — If you choose to have the IRS compute your federal EITC and do not receive the information from the IRS before the deadline to file your Kansas return, you should complete Form K-40 without the credit and pay any amount you owe. Once the IRS sends you the completed EITC figures, you may then file an amended Kansas return to claim the credit.
