national or regional accrediting agency that is recognized by the state 
board for the purpose of satisfying the teaching performance assessment

section shall be the same amount as the prior tax year, except that for any 
tax year in which the annual tax credit amount that was used for the prior 
tax year was equal to or greater than 90% of the maximum total amount of 
credits allowed for such prior tax year, the maximum total amount of 
credits shall increase by 25%. The department of revenue shall publish on

secretary shall give priority to taxpayers who have previously received a 
tax credit under this section.
(c) If the amount of the tax credit allowed by this section exceeds the 
taxpayer's income tax liability imposed under the Kansas income tax act 
for such tax year, the excess amount shall be refunded to the taxpayer.
(d) A taxpayer shall not receive the education opportunity tax credit if 
such taxpayer fails to provide a valid social security number issued by the 
social security administration for each dependent child of the taxpayer for 
whom the taxpayer is seeking such tax credit.
(e) A taxpayer shall not be eligible to claim the education opportunity 
tax credit for a dependent child for a tax year in which such dependent 
child received a scholarship pursuant to the tax credit for low income 
students scholarship program act, K.S.A. 72-4351 et seq., and amendments 
thereto.
(f) The department of revenue shall provide an eligible taxpayer the 
opportunity to either claim and receive the education opportunity tax credit 
in advance during the tax year or to claim the tax credit on their annual 
income tax forms. If the taxpayer chooses to claim the tax credit in 
advance during the tax year, the taxpayer may file an application at any 
time during the tax year on a form prescribed by the department of 
revenue.
(g) (1) The department of revenue may consult with the state 
department of education only for the purpose of determining whether or 
not a dependent child of a taxpayer claiming an education opportunity tax 
credit is enrolled in a public school, as defined in K.S.A. 72-4352, and 
amendments thereto, during the tax year for which the credit is claimed.
(2) By making a claim for the education opportunity tax credit, the 
taxpayer acknowledges that the department of revenue may consult with 
and receive information from the state department of education regarding 
the public school enrollment status of any dependent child for whom the 
tax credit is being claimed.
(h)(g) On or before January 15 of each year, the department of 
revenue shall prepare and submit to the legislature a report on the 
education opportunity tax credit for the second preceding tax year. Such 
report shall include, but not be limited to, the total amount of credits 
claimed and any information on known fraudulent claims for the credit.
(i)(h) Any person who intentionally files a false claim for the 
education opportunity tax credit or receives the education opportunity tax 
credit but does not send such person's dependent child to a private school 
as described in subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) shall be subject to a civil penalty 
in an amount computed in the manner prescribed in K.S.A. 79-3228(e),

(3) If any part of this section is challenged in a state court as violating 
either the state or federal constitutions, taxpayers claiming the education 
opportunity tax credit shall be permitted to intervene as of right in such 
lawsuit for the purposes of defending the education opportunity tax credit's 
constitutionality. However, for the purposes of judicial administration, a 
court may require that all taxpayers file a joint brief, so long as they are 
not required to join any brief filed on behalf of any named state defendant. 
(4) If any provision of this section, or the application thereof to any 
person or circumstances, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect 
other provisions or applications of this section which can be given effect 
without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions 
of this section are declared to be severable.
(k)(j) This section shall be a part of and supplemental to the Kansas 
income tax act.
Sec. 2. K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-32,117 is hereby amended to read as 
follows: 79-32,117. (a) The Kansas adjusted gross income of an individual 
means such individual's federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year, 
with the modifications specified in this section.
(b) There shall be added to federal adjusted gross income:
(i) Interest income less any related expenses directly incurred in the 
purchase of state or political subdivision obligations, to the extent that the 
same is not included in federal adjusted gross income, on obligations of 
any state or political subdivision thereof, but to the extent that interest 
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

net operating loss deduction shall not be added to an individual's federal 
adjusted gross income for tax years beginning after December 31, 2016.

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

sentence, federal taxes shall be considered to have been deducted only to 
the extent such deduction does not reduce Kansas taxable income below 
zero.

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

(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.
(viii) The amount of any costs incurred for improvements to a swine 
facility, claimed for deduction in determining federal adjusted gross 
income, to the extent the same is claimed as the basis for any credit 
allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,204, and amendments thereto.
(ix) The amount of any ad valorem taxes and assessments paid and 
the amount of any costs incurred for habitat management or construction 
and maintenance of improvements on real property, claimed for deduction 
in determining federal adjusted gross income, to the extent the same is 
claimed as the basis for any credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,203, 
and amendments thereto.

income.
