Kansas Income Tax Extension

Option 1: If you do not owe KS taxes and don't expect a refund, you don't need to file a KS tax extension. Also, if you expect a KS tax refund, you must file your KS tax return to receive it.

Option 2: If you have e-filed a federal tax extension and do not anticipate owing Kansas income tax or receiving a refund by the state tax deadline, your federal extension will be automatically accepted as a state extension. There is no need to submit Form K-40V.

Option 1:Pay your Kansas income taxes online at the Kansas Tax Payment Portal.

Option 2: If you owe KS income taxes, you will either have to submit a KS tax return or extension by the tax deadline in order to avoid late filing penalties. You can only eFile an IRS tax extension, but not an Kansas extension. The tax extension will only avoid late filing penalties until the October deadline.
Note: Failure to pay taxes due or electronically file a tax return by the October deadline will result in late filing penalties.

Option 3: Complete Form K-40V, include a check or money order, and mail both to the address provided on Form 40V.

Important: Even with an extension, you must e-file or mail your KS tax return by the October deadline.
