The Kansas Department of Revenue has issued new percentage tables for computing the state withholding
tax deductions effective for all paychecks issued on or after July 1, 1998. The standard deduction for
one withholding allowance remains the same at $2000.00 per year in calendar year 1998.
The attached tables have been prepared for use in computing all state withholding tax payments for wages paid on or after July 1, 1998. When calculating federal and state withholding tax by annualizing, 26 pay periods should be used to arrive at an annualized amount. There are no changes in the federal income tax withholding or earned income credit tables. The Department of Administration will make all of the necessary changes in the computation of withholding taxes for SHARP agencies. Regents Institutions are responsible for implementing the new withholding tax rates in their respective payroll systems effective with all payroll warrants issued on or after July 1, 1998. SAM:JJM:CW
