Question
Can my Kansas state refund be seized to pay my outstanding debts?

Answer

Kansas law provides that if you owe any delinquent debt (Kansas tax, child support, student loans, etc.) to a Kansas state agency, municipality, municipal court or district court, your income tax refund will be applied (set-off) to that delinquent debt. The set-off process will cause a 10 to 12 week delay to any remaining refund.

Unless the debt is a Kansas tax debt, KDOR will not have access to who the debt is owed to or how much is owed. You must contact the debtor setoff department at 785-296-4628 for that information.
