Kansas Department of Revenue - New
Withholding Allowance Certificate Form K-4
Background:
Kansas Department of
Revenue (DOR) will discontinue use of Federal Form W-4 for figuring
Kansas
withholding tax
and has implemented a new withholding allowance certificate, Form K-4. The Form K-4 is required for any employee
hired after December 31, 2007, or any existing employee changing their
withholding status or allowances after December 31, 2007. Use of the Form K-4 is optional for existing
or newly hired employees prior to January 1, 2008. Kansas DOR has not changed the statuses
currently listed in the withholding tax tables due to the fact that Form K-4 is
being “phased in”, beginning January 1, 2008. Form can be found at http://www.ksrevenue.org/pdf/forms/k-4.pdf.
The status (
Kansas
uses “Allowance
Rate”, see line 3 of Form K-4) selections on Form K-4 are:
Ø
Single (selection
for single filer or married person with a working spouse)
Ø
Joint (selection
for married person whose spouse does not work)
Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I know if I'm
affected?

QuickPayroll?

how the Filing Status label selections are displayed on the State tab of the
Employee Setup to reflect the new Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate,
