Modifications and Nonresident Allocation - Schedule S:

Modifications to federal adjusted gross income are calculated on Kansas Schedule S.

The following modifications are calculated from the federal return:

- A1. State and municipal bond interest

- A2. Contributions to KPERS (enter 'KPERS' and amount on W-2, Box 14)

- A7. U.S. Interest

- A8. State income tax refund

 

Nonresident Allocation of Income and Adjustments is calculated on Schedule S, Page 2.

 

Estimated Tax:

Kansas estimated tax will be computed based on a protective estimate.  The estimated tax can be adjusted as necessary by making entries directly on the estimate worksheet.

 

Estimated Tax Penalty:

To calculate an underpayment of estimated tax, Form K-210 must be added.  Crosslink doesn't automatically calculate the penalty.
