Reference computation

For a Kansas pass-through entity with $500,000 of qualified net income allocated to this state, at a 37% federal marginal bracket, the entity-level PTET and federal-deduction math is:

Kansas — reference example

QBI allocation·KS rate= Entity-level tax

$500,000×6%=$27,900

K.S.A. § 79-32,287 et seq. (SALT Parity Act); rate tied to K.S.A. 79-32,110(a)

Entity tax·Federal bracket= Federal deduction (gross)

$27,900×37%=$10,323

At a 37% federal bracket, the entity-level deduction saves $10,323 in federal tax. Net of §199A QBI offset (~20% × bracket × entity tax = $2,065), aggregate benefit is approximately $8,258.
