General Information

Who Must File a Return

Resident Estate or Trust. The fiduciary of a resident estate or trust must file a Kansas Fiduciary Income Tax return (K-41) if the estate or trust had any taxable income or there is withholding tax due for the nonresident beneficiaries. A resident estate is the estate of a person who was a Kansas resident at the time of death. All other estates are nonresident estates. A resident trust is any trust which is administered by the trustee in Kansas. A trust being administered outside of Kansas shall not be considered a resident trust merely because the governing instrument or a law requires that the laws of Kansas be followed with respect to interpretation or administration of the trust. All other trusts are nonresident trusts.

Effective July 1, 2023, the trust must have at least one income beneficiary, who, on the last day of the taxable year, was a resident of this state.

Nonresident Estate or Trust. The fiduciary of a nonresident estate or trust must file a Kansas Fiduciary Income Tax Return if the estate or trust had taxable income or gain derived from Kansas sources. This includes income or gain from: 1) real or tangible personal property located within Kansas; 2) a business, profession or occupation carried on within Kansas; or, 3) services performed within Kansas.

For a nonresident estate or trust, income from the following is not considered to be derived from Kansas sources: annuities, interest, dividends, or gains from the sale or exchange of intangible personal property, unless part of the income from a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on within Kansas.

When and Where to File

You should complete your Kansas fiduciary return after the federal fiduciary return is complete. It is due no later than the 15th day of the fourth month after the close of the taxable year (generally April 15 for those operating on a calendar year basis). Mail your Fiduciary Income Tax return to the address shown on Form K-41.

For a quick and easy filing solution, submit your return electronically. See
  • Electronic File & Pay Options
    • for details.

    Extension of Time to File

    An extension of time to file is not an extension to pay

    If you are unable to complete your Kansas fiduciary return by the filing deadline, you may request an extension of time to file. If you filed Form 7004 with the IRS for an extension of time, enclose a copy of that form with your completed K-41. (Kansas does not have a separate extension request form but will accept an approved federal Extension of Time To File form.) If you do not pay the tax amount due (may be estimated) by the original due date, you will owe interest and may also be charged a penalty on any balance due.

    Accounting Period

    The accounting period for which the Kansas fiduciary return is filed and the method of accounting used must be the same as that used for federal tax purposes. If, for federal purposes, the taxable year for the estate or trust changes or the method of accounting is changed, the changes also apply to the Kansas return.

    Withholding Tax Payments

    Kansas law requires the fiduciary of a resident estate or trust to submit the payment of withholding tax for its nonresident beneficiaries, if it is $5 or more, with the filing of Form K-41. Complete Part IV, and enter the total from Column E on line 6 of Form K-41.

    Estimated Tax

    Estates and trusts are required to make federal estimated tax payments; however, Kansas statutes exempt estates and trusts from making estimated tax payments for Kansas fiduciary purposes.

    Fiduciary Reporting to Beneficiaries

    Fiduciaries must provide each beneficiary with the amount of the fiduciary modification to be used in the preparation of the beneficiary’s Kansas individual income tax return. See page 2, Part II, Column D of Form K-41.

    In addition, fiduciaries must provide each nonresident beneficiary with the amount of their share of income and credits from page 3, Part IV of Form K-41, and when Kansas tax is withheld, supply Form K-18 to the nonresident beneficiary. Fiduciary modifications, beneficiaries’ shares of fiduciary modifications, and beneficiaries’ shares of income and credits are computed on pages 2 and 3 of Form K-41 in Parts I, II, III and IV.

    Federal Return

    Enclose with Form K-41 a copy of your Federal Form 1041, including all schedules as filed with the IRS. The processing of your Kansas fiduciary return may be delayed if your federal fiduciary return is not included.

    Confidential Information

    Income tax information disclosed to the Department of Revenue, either on returns or through department investigation, is held in strict confidence by law. The Department of Revenue and the IRS have an agreement under which income tax information is exchanged. This is to verify the accuracy and consistency of information reported on federal and Kansas fiduciary returns.

    Amended Returns

    You must file an amended K-41 when: 1) an error was made on your Kansas return, 2) there is a change (error or adjustment) on another state’s return, or 3) there is a change (error or adjustment) on your federal return. To amend your original return, use Form K-41 and mark the amended return check box. Pay the full amount of tax and interest due and no late pay penalty will be assessed. See our website for interest rates.

    If you are filing an amended federal return for the same taxable year as this amended return, enclose a copy of the amended federal return and an explanation of all changes made on your amended Kansas return. If your amended federal return is adjusted or disallowed, provide the Department of Revenue with a copy of the adjustment or denial letter.

    If you have not yet filed a Kansas K-41 but you filed your original federal return and the federal return has been amended or adjusted, use the information on the amended/adjusted federal return to complete your original Kansas return. A copy of both the original and amended federal returns should be enclosed with the Kansas return along with an explanation of the changes.

If there are only resident beneficiaries, or if no amounts are distributable to nonresident beneficiaries, then it is necessary to complete only Parts I and II. If there are nonresident beneficiaries, then it is generally necessary to complete all parts. However, if amounts distributed to nonresidents are nontaxable, then Part IV may be omitted. Nonresidents: If you are filing for a nonresident estate or trust, check the box for nonresidents. If there are resident and/or nonresident beneficiaries, then all parts must be completed. However, if all income is taxable to the fiduciary, then only Parts I and II must be completed.

    Date Established. Enter date of death or date the trust was established.

    PART II – COMPUTATION OF SHARES OF THE MODIFICATION TO FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME

    Part II is used to determine the allocation of the shares of the Kansas fiduciary modification. The Kansas fiduciary modification is divided among the beneficiaries and the fiduciary in proportion to their share of the federal distributable net income plus the amount contributed or required to be contributed from current income to charitable beneficiaries.

    If there is no federal distributable net income, each beneficiary’s share of the Kansas fiduciary modification shall be in proportion to each share of the estate or trust income distributed. Any balance of the Kansas fiduciary modification not allocated to the beneficiaries is allocable to the fiduciary.

    When the allocation of the Kansas fiduciary modification, as provided by law, would result in an amount that is substantially inequitable, the fiduciary may, with the permission of the Director of Taxation, use such other methods of allocation that will produce a fair and equitable result to both the fiduciary and the beneficiary. Kansas law does not permit the fiduciary to elect to pay the tax on income properly applicable to a beneficiary by including such income in its share of the modification. The estate or trust must advise each beneficiary of their share of the Kansas fiduciary modification. The amount reported in Column D is the amount which the fiduciary is required to submit to each beneficiary.

    Column A: Enter on lines (a), (b), (c) and (d) the names and addresses of Kansas resident beneficiaries. Nonresident beneficiaries should be listed on lines (e), (f), (g) and (h).

    Column B: Enter the Social Security numbers of the beneficiaries.

    Column C: Enter the percentage of the estate or trust to be distributed to each beneficiary in accordance with the documents or the laws controlling distribution of the estate or trust. The percentage allocated to charitable beneficiaries and to the fiduciary itself should be shown on the appropriate lines. Total allocation must equal 100%.

    Column D: Enter on lines (a) through (i) each beneficiary’s share of the Kansas fiduciary modification. Enter on line (j) the resident fiduciary’s share of the modification. To determine each individual’s and the fiduciary’s share of the Kansas fiduciary modification, multiply the amount on line 27, Part I, by the percentage in Column C.

    PART III - COMPUTATION OF FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME OF THE ESTATE OR TRUST FROM KANSAS SOURCES

    Important: You need not complete Parts III and IV if you are filing a resident estate or trust where all beneficiaries are Kansas residents. If there are any nonresident beneficiaries, complete Parts III and IV.

    Part III is used to compute the federal taxable income of the estate or trust from Kansas sources. It is to be completed by all resident estates and trusts which have nonresident beneficiaries and by all nonresident estates and trusts with income or gain from Kansas sources. Nonresident estates or trusts should report to Kansas only that part of their federal taxable income derived from Kansas sources. The income to be reported, and the modifications to that income, are determined in this part.

    Column A: Column A lists the items of income and modifications that correspond to those shown on the federal fiduciary tax return.

    Column B: Enter total income or deductions reported or claimed on the federal fiduciary tax return for each item listed in Column A.

    Column C: Enter that part of each item of income reported in Column B that is derived from Kansas sources. Use direct accounting whenever possible. Intangible income is not considered to be from Kansas sources except where it is part of a business, trade, or occupation carried on in Kansas. Income from other estates, trusts, or partnerships should be modified, if necessary, before the item is entered in Column C. NOTE: Items entered in Column C should reflect the amount that remains after all modifications have been performed. For example, do not include in Column C any state or local income taxes deducted on the federal return; or any state income tax refunds reported as income on the federal return.

    Do not carry over any administration expenses from Column B to Column C if these expenses were claimed on the federal fiduciary tax return.

    Capital gains from Kansas sources should be entered in Column C only if the gain is distributed to the beneficiaries. Depreciation, depletion, and federal estate tax not included on Federal Form 1041 and passed directly to the beneficiaries should be entered on the appropriate lines of Column C (e.g., line 42a).

    Enter on line 42a other deductions not provided for on lines 37 through 41. These deductions should be directly allocated where possible. If they cannot be directly allocated to the income from Kansas sources, they should be apportioned by multiplying the deductions by the ratio of total Kansas income (line 36, Column C) divided by total federal income (line 36, Column B).

    Enter on line 49, Column C, net income of the estate or trust from Kansas sources, after all modifications.

    Enter on line 50, Column C, the total percentages of all “nonresident” beneficiaries. These percentages are determined by the documents or laws controlling distribution of the estate or trust.

    E

    nter on line 51, Column C, the total income from Kansas sources of all nonresident beneficiaries. This amount is computed by multiplying line 49, Column C, by the percentage entered on line 50, Column C.

    Column D: Column D is to be completed by nonresident fiduciaries only. Enter in Column D that part of Column C applicable to the fiduciary. The amount to be entered in Column D is computed by multiplying each entry in Column C by the fiduciary’s percentage of the Kansas fiduciary adjustment as shown in Part II.

    A capital gain from Kansas sources that is not distributed to the beneficiaries should be entered on line 31, Column D.

    NONRESIDENT FIDUCIARY EXEMPTION. Enter on line 47, Part III, Column D, the amount of the nonresident fiduciary exemption determined by the following formula:

    1) Exemption on federal Form 1041 $________

    2) Kansas income of nonresident estate or trust (Part III, line 44, Column D) $________

    3) Federal income (Part III, line 44, Column B) $________

    4) Ratio (Divide line 2 by line 3) ________%

    5) Nonresident fiduciary exemption (multiply line 1 by line 4) $________

    Line 49, Column D, is the net income of the nonresident estate or trust from Kansas sources applicable to the fiduciary which should be entered on line 1 of Form K-41.

    PART IV - NONRESIDENT BENEFICIARIES’ SHARE OF INCOME AND TAX TO BE WITHHELD

    Part IV is used to compute the nonresident beneficiaries’ shares of income and to compute the amount of tax to be withheld by the fiduciary of a resident estate or trust from the amount distributed or distributable to the nonresident beneficiaries. Fiduciaries must provide to each nonresident beneficiary the amount of the nonresident beneficiary’s share of income. In addition, Kansas law requires the fiduciary of a resident estate or trust to withhold tax from a nonresident beneficiary and to pay the amount of this tax with the Form K-41.

    Column A: Enter on lines (a) through (d) the names and addresses of the nonresident beneficiaries.

    Column B: Enter the Social Security numbers of the nonresident beneficiaries.

    Column C: Enter on lines (a) through (d) the percentage of the estate or trust to be distributed to each beneficiary in accordance with the documents or laws controlling distribution of the estate or trust. NOTE: Since neither the resident beneficiaries’ nor the fiduciary’s percentages are shown here, it is unlikely this column will total 100%.

    Column D: Enter on lines (a) through (d) each beneficiary’s portion of the total taxable income from Kansas sources by multiplying Column C by the amount on line 49, Column C, Part III.

    Column E: Compute the amount of tax to be withheld from each nonresident beneficiary by multiplying each beneficiary’s income in column D by 2.5%. Enter these amounts on lines (a) through (d). The tax reported in this column is to be withheld and paid by the fiduciary for the beneficiary. Enter the total amount from Column E on page 1, line 6, Form K-41. Column E need not be calculated to completion if the nonresident share has already been withheld.

    If any tax is required to be withheld, complete a Form K-18 for each nonresident beneficiary. The Form K-18 and instructions are on the last page of Form K-41.
