K.S.A. 79-32,207 provides for an income tax credit for taxpayers who make expenditures during the tax year to plug an abandoned oil or gas well on their land in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC). The credit is 50% of expenditures made during the tax year. If the credit exceeds the tax liability for the taxable year the expenditures are made, any unused credit may be carried forward until used. The total amount of credits taken by all taxpayers (including any carry over) may not exceed $250,000 in any fiscal year.
For tax year 2013, and all tax years thereafter, new credits shall be available to only corporations that are subject to the Kansas corporate income tax (i.e., C corporations). New credits are not available to individuals, partnerships, S corporations, limited liability companies, and other pass-through entities.
