Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Housing investors can claim transferred credits earlier

Recipients of transferred Kansas housing investor tax credits can claim them starting in the original investor's cash-investment year. This rule applies retroactively to credits issued for tax year 2022 and later. The housing project must have approval and an issued credit, and claimants must provide documents required by Kansas tax officials. The existing deadline remains: claims must end after the fourth tax year following issuance, and unused credit is forfeited.

Kansas housing developers lose new tax credits

Kansas caps affordable housing tax-credit awards at $25 million for plan year 2025 and $8.8 million yearly for 2026–2028. Beginning November 15, 2025, Kansas bars applications and additional awards for tax-exempt bond projects receiving 4% federal housing credits. Those projects keep allocations awarded by November 14, 2025, through their authorized credit and carryforward periods. Kansas ends applications and new awards after the 2028 allocation plan, with no awards allowed after December 31, 2028. Projects awarded credits under the 2028 plan or earlier keep them through their authorized credit and carryforward periods.
