Kansas Income Withholding Tax and the K-4 Form

Kansas income withholding tax is the money that is required to be withheld from wages and other taxable payments to help prepay the Kansas income tax of the recipient. The University of Kansas, as an employer, pays no part of this tax but is responsible for deducting it from wages or taxable payments made to an employee.

The KW-100 Kansas Withholding Tax Guide and Kansas Department of Revenue website provide more information, including how withholding is calculated.
