Kansans: Filing Taxes Electronically Makes Process Easier, Speeds Refund Delivery

To save taxpayer dollars, the state is distributing a limited number of paper income tax forms and booklets. Online filing through WebFile is secure, fast and paperless, and allows taxpayers to have their refunds directly deposited into their bank accounts. Paper-filed returns do not qualify for direct deposit funds.

Taxpayers who file and request a direct deposit usually receive their refunds in less than one week – up to 80 percent quicker than those who file traditional paper forms. People also may choose to receive their refunds in the form of paper checks.

Kansas launched WebFile in 2002. Last year, the Department of Revenue received 84 percent of over 1.5 million individual income tax returns electronically, an increase from 80 percent filed online in 2010.

The 2011 Individual Income Tax Return deadline is April 17, 2012. Save time and file online today at: https://www.kansas.gov/webfile.
