Kansas Earned Income Tax Credit
Kansas offers its own state credit that is equal to 17% of the federal credit. Like the federal EITC, the Kansas credit is fully refundable, meaning a taxpayer can receive a refund amount when the credit is larger than the tax amount owed.
Kansas EITC is available only to families and individuals who earn income through work, the amount of which largely depends on the recipient’s earned income, filing status and no. of children.
