Social Security benefits in Kansas

Varies

Is Social Security Taxed in Kansas?

Short answer: No. Since tax year 2024, Kansas exempts all Social Security benefits included in federal AGI, at any income level. Before 2024, the exemption applied only if federal AGI was $75,000 or less (SB 1 of 2024 removed the cap).

Federally, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable depending on your combined income (IRS Pub 915); that part doesn't change by state.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
