Kansas Withholding Tax - K4 Form

 

Image of Kansas Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate K-4, Revision. 11-18. The text on the image reads: “Use the following instructions to accurately complete your K-4 form, then detach the lower portion and give it to your employer. For assistance, call the Kansas Department of Revenue at 785-368-8222. Purpose of the K-4 form: A completed withholding allowance certificate will let your employer know how much Kansas income tax should be withheld from your pay on income you earn from Kansas sources. Because your tax situation may change, you may want to re-figure your withholding each year. Exemption from Kansas withholding: To qualify for exempt status you must verify with the Kansas Department of Revenue that: 1) last year you had the right to a refund of all STATE income tax withheld because you had no tax liability; and 2) this year you will receive a full refund of fil!. ST A TE income tax withheld because you will have no tax liability. Basic Instructions: If you are not exempt, complete the Personal Allowance Worksheet that follows. The total on line F should not exceed the total exemptions you claim under "Exemptions and Dependents" on your Kansas income tax return. NOTE: Your status of "Single" or "Joint" may differ from your status claimed on your federal Form W-4). Using the information from your Personal Allowance Worksheet, complete the K-4 form below, sign it and provide it to your employer. If your employer does not receive a K-4 form from you, they must withhold Kansas income tax from your wages without exemption at the "Single" allowance rate. Head of household: Generally, you may claim head of household filing status on your tax return only if you are unmarried and pay more than 50% of the cost of keeping up a home for yourself and for your dependent(s). Non-wage income: If you have a large amount of non-wage Kansas source income, such as interest or dividends, consider making Kansas estimated tax payments on Form K-40ES. Without these payments, you may owe additional Kansas tax when you file your state income tax return.
