INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE K-60
GENERAL INFORMATION
K.S.A. 79-32,195 et seq. provides for an income, privilege or
premiums tax credit for contributions to an approved community
service organization engaged in providing community services.
Programs and organizations eligible to offer this credit to
their contributors are approved by the Director of Community
Development of the Kansas Department of Commerce (KDOC).
The credit is either 50% of the total amount contributed during
the taxable year, or 70% of the total amount contributed during
the taxable year if the approved community service organization
is located in a rural community as dened in the law. If the credit
allowed exceeds the tax liability, the excess will be refunded.
Exception: A business rm who acquired the tax credit from
a business rm not subject to Kansas income, privilege or
premiums tax must carry forward the unused assigned credit. The
credit may be carried forward for up to 5 years, except that the
total credit must be claimed within 10 years after the tax year the
contribution was made.
Addition Modication Required. Taxpayers claiming this
credit (except those claiming an assigned credit) must make an
addition modication on the Kansas return for the amount of any
charitable contribution claimed on the federal return and used as
the basis for the Community Service Contribution Credit.
Assigned Credits. If you are claiming a credit that was sold,
assigned, or conveyed to you by a business rm not subject to
Kansas tax, you must enclose with Schedule K-60 copies of the
written agreement assigning the credit, the notication sent to
the Director of Community Development, KDOC, as well as the
acknowledgment letter received from KDOC.
If you are claiming a new community service contribution
credit for contributions made this tax year, you will receive
an approval from the community service organization
eligible to offer this credit. This approval may be an approved
tax credit application or a tax credit certicate. Be sure to keep
a copy for your records as the Kansas Department of Revenue
reserves the right to request any certications or copies of written
agreements as necessary.
