income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued 
prior to January 1, 1988, is specifically exempt from income tax under the

laws of this state authorizing the issuance of such obligations, it shall be 
excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted gross income whether or 
not included in federal adjusted gross income. Interest income on 
obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued after 
December 31, 1987, shall be excluded from computation of Kansas 
adjusted gross income whether or not included in federal adjusted gross 
income.
(ii) Taxes on or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of 
income taxes imposed by this state or any other taxing jurisdiction to the 
extent deductible in determining federal adjusted gross income and not 
credited against federal income tax. This paragraph shall not apply to taxes 
imposed under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1107 or 79-1108, and 
amendments thereto, for privilege tax year 1995, and all such years 
thereafter.
(iii) The federal net operating loss deduction, except that the federal 
net operating loss deduction shall not be added to an individual's federal 
adjusted gross income for tax years beginning after December 31, 2016.
(iv) Federal income tax refunds received by the taxpayer if the 
deduction of the taxes being refunded resulted in a tax benefit for Kansas 
income tax purposes during a prior taxable year. Such refunds shall be 
included in income in the year actually received regardless of the method 
of accounting used by the taxpayer. For purposes hereof, a tax benefit shall 
be deemed to have resulted if the amount of the tax had been deducted in 
determining income subject to a Kansas income tax for a prior year 
regardless of the rate of taxation applied in such prior year to the Kansas 
taxable income, but only that portion of the refund shall be included as 
bears the same proportion to the total refund received as the federal taxes 
deducted in the year to which such refund is attributable bears to the total 
federal income taxes paid for such year. For purposes of the foregoing 
sentence, federal taxes shall be considered to have been deducted only to 
the extent such deduction does not reduce Kansas taxable income below 
zero.
(v) The amount of any depreciation deduction or business expense 
deduction claimed on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for any 
capital expenditure in making any building or facility accessible to the 
handicapped, for which expenditure the taxpayer claimed the credit 
allowed by K.S.A. 79-32,177, and amendments thereto.
(vi) Any amount of designated employee contributions picked up by 
an employer pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5005, 20-2603, 74-4919 and 74-4965, 
and amendments thereto.
(vii) The amount of any charitable contribution made to the extent the 
same is claimed as the basis for the credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-
32,196, and amendments thereto.
