REGISTERING AS AN EMPLOYER
Every Kansas employer who is required to withhold Federal Income Taxes must also withhold Kansas Income Tax. In addition to a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), employers must also have a Kansas Withholding Tax Number. An employer pays no part of this tax, but is responsible for deducting it from the wages or taxable payments made to an employee or payee. The employer or payer holds the tax in trust for the State and then remits these funds to the Kansas Department of Revenue on a regular basis.
FEIN: Use Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an Employer Identification Number. All businesses, except those Sole Proprietorships without employees, are required to obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). www.irs.gov
Unemployment Insurance: The Kansas Department of Labor has an Employer Workbook available on their website www.dol.ks.gov.
Kansas Workers Compensation: Workers Compensation is a private insurance plan where the benefits are not paid by the State of Kansas, but paid by the employer through an insurance provider, approved pool or a self-insured plan. www.dol.ks.gov
