Kansas Governor Laura Kelly is offering a plan to give all state residents who filed a tax return this year a $250 rebate.
The governor’s plan involves a one-time rebate as a non-taxable direct payment for every individual resident tax filer, except for resident tax filers who filed as married and filed jointly. They will receive a $500 direct payment.
Governor Kelly says this will return around $445 million to over 1.2 million taxpayers and will not have any impact on the state’s ability to collect revenues for critical state services. Funds for this program would come from the state’s current budget surplus. The early plan is to have these rebates sent to taxpayers by summer 2022.
