Navigating the intricacies of state tax obligations involves a keen understanding of specific forms and their requirements, such as the KW-3 Kansas Annual Withholding Tax Return. This form is an essential document for employers and payers in Kansas, serving as a comprehensive report of the total Kansas income tax withheld from employees and payees within a given year. The form is meticulously structured to include sections for reporting amounts withheld as recorded on W-2s and 1099s, details of tax payments made throughout the year, and any overpayments or underpayments.

DUE DATE: Even if no Kansas tax was withheld, every employer who is currently registered must file a Kansas Employer’s/Payor’s Annual Withholding Tax Return (KW-3), by the last day of January of the year following the taxable year. Form KW-3 must accompany the Wage and Tax Statements (W-2) and/or any federal 1099 forms that have Kansas withholding. (1099s without Kansas withholding should be mailed to the Department using federal Form 1096.) An employer/payor who begins business or withholding during a calendar year must file for that portion of the year in which wages or payments other than wages were paid or

Kansas income tax withheld. An employer/payor who discontinues business or discontinues withholding during a calendar year must file Form KW-3 within thirty (30) days after the business was discontinued or payment of wages ceased.

Underpayment (line D is less than line A): Complete a KW-5, Withholding Deposit Report, for the iling period(s) of the underpayment and submit with your payment, KW-3 and W-2/1099 forms. If you use a KW-5 to report the underpayment, penalty and interest, do not complete lines F, G or H of the KW-3. If KW-5s are not available, complete lines F, G and H of the KW-3.

Overpayment (line D is more than line A): Enter the amount of overpayment on line E and again on line H.

To avoid penalty and interest, all Kansas income tax withheld from wages paid in the year indicated on Form KW-3 must be paid prior to the due date of the last withholding tax deposit report for that year.

LINE H: Add lines E, F and G and enter the total on line H. If line H represents an underpayment, include with Form KW-3 your remittance
