WHAT ARE ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS

Estimated tax payments are required on income not subject to withholding, such as earnings from self-employment, unemployment, interest and dividends (including income earned in another state while living in Kansas). You must make estimated tax payments if your estimated Kansas income tax after withholding and credits is $500 or more and your withholding and credits may be less than the smaller of: a) 90% of the tax on your tax return for tax year 2026; or b) 100% of the tax shown on your 2025 tax return. Nonresidents should only consider income from Kansas sources for meeting these conditions.
