Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning income taxation; relating to credits; establishing a refundable income tax credit for tuition payments and fees made to postsecondary educational institutions.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new refundable income tax credit for Kansas residents who pay tuition and fees for themselves or their child or step-child to attend an eligible postsecondary educational institution, meaning a college or university as defined by existing Kansas law. Starting with tax years after December 31, 2025, qualified taxpayers can receive a credit of up to $300, which is equal to the amount of tuition and fees paid. Importantly, this credit is "refundable," meaning if the credit amount is more than the taxpayer's total income tax liability, the state will refund the excess amount to the taxpayer, rather than just reducing their tax bill to zero.
