Kansas state income tax rate table for the 2024 - 2025 filing season has two income tax brackets with KS tax rates of 5.2% and 5.58% for Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, and Head of Household statuses. The top Kansas tax rate decreased from 5.7% last year to 5.58% for the 2024 income tax year. The number of tax brackets also decreased from three to two brackets.
Kansas income tax rate and tax brackets shown in the table below are based on income earned between January 1, 2024 through December 91, 2024.
