HB 2036 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing a Kansas income tax subtraction modification for certain amounts received as compensation for members of the armed forces.

HB 2036 modifies Kansas income tax law to allow residents who serve in the armed forces to exclude certain military compensation from their taxable income. Specifically, it adds a subtraction provision for amounts received as compensation for military service, directly affecting Kansas residents serving in the armed forces. The bill amends Kansas tax code to exclude this compensation when calculating "Kansas adjusted gross income," reducing the taxable income for qualifying military members. This change means eligible service members will pay less state income tax on their military pay, without altering federal tax treatment. The provision applies to compensation received for active duty, including pay for training or service-related duties.
