Kansas Tax Forms

ottawalibrary — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:45:44 +0000

The webinar on Kansas Tax Forms has been archived at Webjunction here: http://ks.webjunction.org/734
The state wants everyone to file online this year. Practice forms may be available by calling them or online, but they do not have the staff to process paper. Their page has just been updated: http://www.ksrevenue.org/formsii.htm
This will have a major impact on us and it will be beneficial for us to take a look at the information on the archive.
