-                Social Security is NOT included in Kansas AGI

 Apply between January 1 – April 15, 2026 (must file every year)

Get the Form K-40SVR, https://www.ksrevenue.gov/pdf/k-40svr25.pdf or contact Kansas Dept. of Revenue Taxpayer Assistance (785)368-8222.

Complete the form and file by April 15, 2026.

 PLEASE SHARE - Too many eligible Kansans miss this refund simply because they don’t know about it.

 Note: Kansas still needs broader property tax protections, so families aren’t taxed out of their homes.

It is important that we pass legislation to help all taxpayers by: Protecting individual property owners with a 3% (or less) annual assessment cap, a 2022 baseline, and transferable protections.

 Controlling government collections with a revenue or levy limit.

 Using both approaches – many states with lower property taxes combine property protections and limits on government collections.
