Tax moves that matter most for Kansas
If you have any pass-through business income (S-Corp, partnership, multi-member LLC), Kansas allows the PTET election that effectively bypasses the federal $10,000 SALT cap on the state income tax portion. Typical savings for high earners: $2k-$15k/year.
At net SE income above ~$80k-$100k, electing S-Corp typically saves $5k-$15k/yr in self-employment tax — the math is largely federal but affects Kansas state tax via PTET (if applicable).
If you have 1099 income, Solo 401(k) lets you contribute up to $70,000/yr (2025) — far more than SEP-IRA in most cases. Reduces both federal and Kansas state income tax.
