What’s New
STANDARD DEDUCTION—For 2022, the standard deduction is $2,770.
FAMILY SIZE TAX CREDIT—This credit provides benefits to individuals and families at incomes up to 133 percent of the
threshold amount based on the federal poverty level. The 2022 threshold amount is $13,590 for a family size of one, $18,310 for
a family of two, $23,030 for a family of three, and $27,750 for a family of four or more.
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE DATE—HB 8 updated KRS 141.010(21) to change the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) reference
date from December 31, 2018, to December 31, 2021, for purposes of computing corporation and individual income taxes.
However, taxpayers who placed property into service after September 10, 2001, are required to compute Kentucky depreciation
under IRC Section 168 according to the provisions in effect on December 31, 2001. Taxpayers who placed property into service
after September 10, 2001, but before January 1, 2020, are required to compute the expense deduction under IRC Section 179
according to provisions in effect on December 31, 2001. Taxpayers who placed property into service on or after January 1, 2020,
are required to compute the expense deduction under IRC Section 179 according to provisions in effect on December 31, 2003,
except that the phase-out provisions of IRC Section 179, limiting the qualifying investment in property, shall not apply.
NEW FORM 2441–K, CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE CREDIT—This form is no longer in use, please refer to 740 and 740NP instructions to calculate Kentucky child and dependent care credit.
SCHEDULE KNOL—Based on the new IRC conformity date, there is an updated calculation of the 80% limitation for post-2017
net operating losses which is reflected on the updated Schedule KNOL. The allowed post-2017 net operating loss deduction
will be calculated by taking 80% of the taxable income remaining after subtracting the pre-2018 net operating loss deduction.
REFUNDABLE FILM INDUSTRY TAX CREDIT—For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, or applications
approved on or after January 1, 2022, a refundable credit against the taxes imposed by KRS 141.020 or KRS 141.040 and KRS
141.0401 is available for taxpayers who have received notification from the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development that
the approved company has satisfied all requirements of KRS 154.61-020 and KRS 154.61-030. Attach certification to the return
claiming the credit. KRS 141.383.
REFUNDABLE DEVELOPMENT AREA TAX CREDIT—If you owned “residential property” on January 1, 2021, that was located
in the West End Development area in Louisville, Kentucky you may be entitled to a refundable development area tax credit. To
qualify for the credit, it must be your principal place of residence, located within the West End development area and owned as of
January 1, 2021. Your credit will be equal to the amount in which the property tax timely paid on the residential property exceeds
the amount of property tax assessed on that residential property on January 1, 2021. KRS 141.398.
REFUNDABLE DECONTAMINATION CREDIT—For taxable years on or after January 1, 2022, but before January 1, 2032, a
taxpayer making a qualifying expenditure at a qualifying decontamination property shall be allowed a refundable credit against
the taxes imposed by KRS 141.020 or 141.040. The taxpayer must be approved by the Energy and Environment Cabinet per
KRS 224.1-420. Maximum tax credit allowed to be claimed per taxable year is 25 percent of the approved credit. For more
information regarding credit for decontamination, contact the Energy and Environment Cabinet at 502-564-6716. A copy of the
approved application must be attached to the tax return claiming this credit. KRS 141.419.

Reminders
ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS—Actual withdrawal of electronic payments may be later than requested date. Please allow up
to two weeks for processing.

your Kentucky forms and schedules electronically, you may use the new KY File website at filetaxes.ky.gov. This website
is designed to be the simple electronic equivalent of a paper form. It will provide basic mathematical and error checks
but unlike most software it does not ask about or explain tax situations. Your federal forms should be completed before
accessing the new KY File website. You will have the option to submit the completed return electronically or print the return

Form 740.
File Form 740-NP if you are a nonresident and:
•	 had income from Kentucky sources.
or are a part-year Kentucky resident and:
•	 moved into or out of Kentucky during the
taxable year.
•	 had income while a Kentucky resident.

Computer–Generated
Returns and 2–D
Barcode
Most software packages produce a 2-D
barcode. The Department of Revenue
scans the barcode that contains all of the
information needed to process your return.
The barcode is printed in the upper righthand corner of the return when you prepare
your return using an approved software
package. Last minute changes should
be entered into the program and the entire
return printed again so that the barcode
also contains the correct information.
This barcode should not be covered up or
marked through. Using the barcode reduces
data entry errors for the department and
results in a faster refund for you.
Check to be sure your software generates
an acceptable form. A list of vendors whose
software has been approved is posted on the
Internet at revenue.ky.gov, the Department
of Revenue’s website.

Free Electronic Filing
Options
You may visit https://revenue.ky.gov/
Individual/Pages/FreeFileSoftware.
aspx for free electronic filing options.

Kentucky individual income tax returns
for free depending on your income level.
Some offers require state and federal
returns to be filed at the same time. The
Kentucky Department of Revenue does
not endorse any specific tax filing product.
Each software company is responsible
for the accuracy of the software program
instructions and calculations. However, all
software packages will produce a return
which contains the required data fields. The
Kentucky Department of Revenue does
not offer technical assistance for these
software products. You should contact the
tax software customer service department
if you have issues using any of the software
products.
Kentucky also offers another option for
filing your state return electronically, free
of charge. If you would like to fill out your
Kentucky forms and schedules without
software help or assistance you may use
the KY File website.
KY File allows you to file current year
Kentucky individual income tax returns

Centers. They may also be obtained by

Address Change
If you move after you file your tax return,
please notify the Kentucky Department of
Revenue of your new address. This can
be done by sending a change of address
card (available at your local post office) to:
Taxpayer Assistance Section, Kentucky
Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 181,
Station 56, Frankfort, KY 40602-0181.
Notification can also be made to any
Kentucky Taxpayer Service Center. A list
of locations is included in your packet.

Refund Inquiries
You may check the status of your refund at
refund.ky.gov. This system is available 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, and is updated
nightly. The following information from your
return will be required:
•	 Your Social Security Number shown on the
return.
•	The exact whole-dollar amount to be
refunded to you.
Information about electronically filed returns
should be available within 72 hours of
receipt. Information about other refund requests filed on paper will be available after
the return has completed initial processing
(approximately 12 weeks).

Need a Copy of
Your Tax Return?
If you need a copy of your tax return,
you must send your request in writing to:
Taxpayer Assistance Section, Kentucky
Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 181,
Station 56, Frankfort, KY 40602-0181 or
fax to (502) 564-3392. Please include your
name(s) as it appeared on your return,
Social Security number(s), your complete
mailing address, and a photo ID. To ensure
confidentiality, all requests must include
your signature.

How Long Should
Records be Kept?
Keep a copy of your tax return, worksheets
and records of all items appearing on it
(such as Forms W-2 and 1099 or other
receipts) until the statute
of limitations runs out for
that return. Usually, this is
four years from the date the
return was due or filed (with
extensions), or the date the
tax was paid, whichever
is later. You should keep
some records longer. For
example, keep property records (including
those on your home) as long as they are
needed to figure the basis of the original or
replacement property.

Filing as an Injured
Spouse on Your
Federal Form 1040?
Kentucky does not recognize the federal
injured spouse form. Income tax refunds
may be withheld by the department if you
owe money to the Kentucky Department
of Revenue, another state agency or the
Internal Revenue Service.
Kentucky law requires the offset of the entire
refund if a joint return is filed. If spouses
want to keep their tax liabilities and/
or refunds separate, each must file
a separate tax form. If you choose to
file separately on a combined return, for
agencies other than the Department of
Revenue, the refund will be apportioned
between spouses, based on each spouse’s
income. The indebted spouse’s refund will
then be paid to the appropriate agency.

Death of a Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return for
2022, the taxpayer’s spouse or personal
representative may have to file and sign
a return for that taxpayer. A personal
representative c an be an executor,
administrator or anyone who is in charge
of the deceased taxpayer’s property. If the
deceased taxpayer did not have to file a
return but had tax withheld, a return must
be filed to get a refund. The person who
files the return should check the applicable
deceased box at the top of the return.

If your spouse died in 2022 and you did
not remarry in 2022, you can file jointly or
separately on a combined return. The return
should show your spouse’s 2022 income
before death and your income for all of
2022. You can also file jointly or separately
on a combined return if your spouse died
in 2023 before filing a 2022 return. Write
“Filing as surviving spouse” in the area
where you sign the return. If someone else
is the personal representative, he or she
must also sign.

Death of Military
Personnel Killed
in Line of Duty
KRS 141.019(k) exempts all income earned
by soldiers killed in the line of duty from
Kentucky tax for the year during which the
death occurred and the year prior to the year
during which the death occurred.
The exemption applies to tax years
beginning after December 31, 2001. The
income exclusion applies to all income
from all sources of the decedent, not just
military income. The exclusion includes all
federal and state death benefits payable to
the estate or any beneficiaries.
Amended returns may be filed for the year
the soldier was killed in the line of duty and
the year prior to the year of death. The
amended returns must be filed within the
statute of limitations period; four years from
the due date, the extended due date or the
date the tax was paid, whichever is later.
If a combined return was filed, the exclusion
would apply to the income reported in
Column A or Column B of the Kentucky
return attributable to the military member.
If a joint return was filed, the income must
be separated accordingly. Refunds will be
issued in the names on the original return.
Beneficiaries or estates that received death
benefits that were included in a Kentucky
return may file an amended return to request
a refund of taxes paid on the benefit.
The Department of Revenue will use the
Veterans Administration definition for “in
the line of duty,” which states that a soldier
is in the line of duty when he or she is in
active military service, whether on active
duty or authorized leave; unless the death
was the result of the person’s own willful
misconduct.

Income Tax Withholding
for 2023
You may elect to increase your withholding
by updating your Form K-4 with your
employer. Or if you do not expect to
have any tax liability for the current year
or you meet the modified gross income
requirement, you may be entitled to claim
an exemption from withholding of Kentucky
income tax.

2023 Estimated Tax
Payments
Individuals who can reasonably expect
to have income of more than $5,000
from which no Kentucky income tax will
be withheld may be required to make
estimated tax payments on Form 740-ES.
However, if the amount of estimated tax is
$500 or less, no estimated payments are
required. Individuals who do not prepay at
least 90% of the tax to be shown on the
2023 tax return, or 100% of the tax shown
on the 2022 tax return, may be subject to
a penalty for underpayment of estimated
tax. For more information on calculating
the penalty, please refer to Form 2210‑K.
Prepayments for 2023 may be made
through withholding, a credit forward of
a 2022 overpayment or estimated tax
installment payments.
Estimated tax installments may
now be made electronically at
revenue.ky.gov, using Form EPAY, or when
electronically filing your return using Form
8879-K, or through mailing a 740-ES with
payment.
The instructions for Form 740-ES include
a worksheet for calculating the amount
of estimated tax due and for making
installment payments. These forms may
be obtained from the Kentucky Department
of Revenue, P. O. Box 518, Frankfort, KY
40602-0518, or any Kentucky Taxpayer
Service Center, or by calling (502) 5643658.

Return Adjustments

Confidentiality

If the Department of Revenue adjusts
your return and you do not understand the
adjustment(s), you may write to Taxpayer

Revenue, P.O. Box 181, Station 56,
Frankfort, KY 40602-0181, fax your request

or call (502) 564-4581. Please include
your name(s) as it appears on your return,
complete Social Security Number(s),
notice number(s), and daytime contact
information.

Kentucky Revised Statute 131.190 requires
the Department of Revenue to maintain
strict confidentiality of all taxpayer records.
No employee of the Department of Revenue
may divulge any information regarding the
tax returns, schedules or reports required
to be filed. However, the Department of
Revenue is not prohibited from providing
evidence to or testifying in any court of
law concerning official tax records. Also,
Department of Revenue employees
or any other person authorized to
access confidential state information
are prohibited from intentionally viewing
such information without an official need
to view.

If you disagree with an adjustment made
to your return, you must appeal the
adjustment by submitting a written protest
within 60 days of notification.

Amended Returns
I f yo u d i s c ove r t h at yo u o m i t te d
deductions or other wise improperly
prepared your return, you may obtain
a refund by filing an amended return
within four years of the due date of the
original return. You are required to file
an amended return to report omitted
income. For 2017 and later use form
740 and check the box for amended.
For 2016 and prior, use Form 740-X. You
may obtain these forms by contacting
a Kentucky Taxpayer Service Center
or writing FORMS, Kentucky Department
of Revenue, P. O. Box 518, Frankfort, KY
40602-0518.  You may also download
forms at revenue.ky.gov the Department
of Revenue’s website.

Federal Audit
Adjustments
Taxpayers who have received a final
determination of an Internal Revenue
Service audit must submit a copy to
the department within 180 days of its
conclusion. The information should be
submitted to the Individual Governmental
Program Section, Kentucky Department
of Revenue, P.O. Box 1074, Station 68,
Frankfort, KY 40602-1074.

The department may provide official
information on a confidential basis to the
Internal Revenue Service or to any other
governmental agency with which it has
an exchange of information agreement
whereby the department receives similar
or useful information in return.

Extension of Time
to File
Taxpayers who are unable to file a return by
April 18 may request an extension of time to
file their return. Taxpayers may elect to file
this request electronically or by mailing the
extension to the Department of Revenue on
or before the due date of the return. The
request must state a reasonable cause for
the inability to file. Inability to pay is not an
acceptable reason. Acceptable reasons
include, but are not limited to, destruction of
records by fire or flood and serious illness
of the taxpayer. Extensions are limited
to six months. A copy of the Kentucky
extension request must be enclosed
with your paper return. If you file your
return electronically, you must indicate
that an extension was filed by checking
the appropriate box in the software.
Individuals who receive a federal extension
are not required to request a separate
Kentucky extension. They can meet the
requirements by enclosing a copy of the
application for automatic federal extension
to the Kentucky return.

full-year nonresidents who had income from Kentucky sources and
by part-year residents who had income while a Kentucky resident
or from Kentucky sources while a nonresident. These persons
must file Form 740-NP if they had (1) any gross income from
Kentucky sources and gross income from all sources in excess
of modified gross income for their family size, or (2) Kentucky gross
receipts from self–employment in excess of modified gross income
for their family size. See Chart A on page 10.

reserve components of the Armed Forces of the United States,
and members of the National Guard will be exempt from Kentucky
income tax. (KRS 141.019(l))
Soldiers will claim the exemption by excluding military pay when
filing a Kentucky individual income tax return starting with the 2010
return. Provided the military member has no income other than
military pay, he or she would not be required to file a Kentucky
income tax return. The military pay exemption applies to all
Kentucky military members regardless of where the member is
stationed. Kentucky income tax should no longer be withheld
from checks received for military pay, beginning January 1, 2010.
If Kentucky income tax is incorrectly withheld from a soldier’s
military pay in 2010 and after, the Department of Revenue will
refund the tax withheld.

Individuals who maintain a permanent residence in Kentucky (i.e.,
are domiciled in Kentucky) for the entire tax year are considered
full-year residents and must use Form 740. Persons not domiciled
in Kentucky but who live in Kentucky for more than 183 days during
the tax year are also considered residents; however, since they
are not full-year residents they must use Form 740-NP. Individuals
who established or abandoned Kentucky residency are considered
part-year residents.

Military Spouse—Effective for tax years beginning 2018 and
after, the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act allows the same tax
benefits, permitted to military personnel under the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act (SCRA) to also apply to a military spouse’s
nonmilitary service income under certain circumstances. This new
law expands those rights originally granted to military spouses
beginning tax year 2009 under the Military Spouse Residency
Relief Act (MSRRA), by now allowing military spouses to choose
the same state of legal residence as their servicemember for tax
purposes, regardless of whether the military spouse has ever
lived in that state.

Persons moving into Kentucky must report income received
from Kentucky sources prior to becoming residents and income
received from all sources after becoming Kentucky residents.
Residents moving out of Kentucky during the year must report
income from all sources while a resident and from Kentucky
sources while a nonresident.
Full-year nonresidents must report all income from Kentucky
sources (including distributive share income, Schedule K-1),
from activities carried on in Kentucky or from the performance
of services in Kentucky, and from property located in Kentucky.

A military spouse’s income is not taxable to Kentucky if all of these
requirements are met:

Reciprocal States—Kentucky has reciprocal agreements with
specific states. These agreements provide for taxpayers to be
taxed by their state of residence, and not the state where income
is earned. Reciprocity does not apply to persons who live in
Kentucky for more than 183 days during the tax year. The states
and types of exemptions are as follows:
	

Illinois, West Virginia—wages and salaries

	

Indiana—wages, salaries and commissions

the active duty servicemember is present in Kentucky in
compliance with military orders;

•	

the military spouse is in Kentucky solely to be with the active
duty servicemember; and

•	

the active duty servicemember maintains legal residence in
a state other than Kentucky and the military spouse chooses
to claim that same state as his/her state of legal residence,
too.

If the servicemember’s spouse qualifies for military spouse relief
but his or her employer withholds income tax, he or she should
file Form 740-NP Kentucky Individual Income Tax Nonresident or
Part-Year Resident Return to request a refund of Kentucky income
tax withheld. Please check the box labeled “Military Spouse”. Your
income will not be reported as taxable on the Kentucky income
tax return. A military spouse who meets all of the requirements
for his/her income to not be taxable to Kentucky should file a new
Form K-4 with his or her employer to claim the exemption from
withholding of Kentucky income tax for future years.

	 Michigan, Wisconsin—income from personal services
		 (including salaries and wages)
	Ohio—wages and salaries. Note: Wages which an S corporation
pays to a shareholder-employee if the shareholder-employee
is a “twenty (20) percent or greater” direct or indirect equity
investor in the S corporation shall not be exempt under the
reciprocity agreement.
	

•	

Virginia—commuting daily, salaries and wages

Taxpayers who qualify for this exemption and have no other
Kentucky taxable income should file Form 740-NP-R, Kentucky
Income Tax Return, Nonresident–Reciprocal State, to obtain a
refund. Also, nonresidents who qualify for the exemption should
file Form 42A809, Certificate of Nonresidence, with their employer
to exempt their future wages from Kentucky withholding.

Military Personnel Eligible for Combat Zone Extension—
Members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, or Public Health
Service of the United States government who serve in an area
designated as a combat zone by presidential proclamation shall not
be required to file an income tax return and pay the taxes, which
would otherwise become due during the period of service, until 12
months after the service is completed. Members of the National
Guard or any branch of the Reserves called to active duty to serve
in a combat zone are granted the same extension.

Gambling income and distributive share income (Schedule
K-1) are not exempt under reciprocal agreements. This
income is fully taxable. A complete return must be filed if filing
requirements are met.
Military Personnel—Nonresident military personnel with civilian
jobs in Kentucky are required to report this income on Form 740-NP
except residents of reciprocal states (see reciprocal states above).
Any income from nonmilitary Kentucky sources is also taxable.

SECTION B—INCOME/ADJUSTMENTS TO INCOME
A copy of your federal income tax return and all supporting
schedules must be filed with Kentucky Form 740-NP. Please
clearly identify as "Copy."

Line 2,  Moving Expense Reimbursement—Any payments made
to you or on your behalf by any employer for moving expenses
are considered income. These payments may be included in box
1 as wages or shown separately on the wage and tax statements.
Persons who were residents of Kentucky for only part of the year
are required to report as income only part of the total reimbursement
they received. The amount which must be reported to Kentucky as
income is based on the percentage of Kentucky earned income
to total earned income. Earned income is income you received for

F and partnerships). Use the following worksheet to calculate the
taxable percentage of your reimbursement.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLUMN A
All entries in Column A should be amounts reported for federal
income tax purposes.
Depreciation—Assets Purchased After September 10, 2001
Effective for taxable years ending after September 10, 2001, an
individual that for federal income tax purposes elects to utilize
the 30 percent or the 50 percent special depreciation allowance
or the increased 179 deduction will have a different depreciation
and Section 179 deduction for Kentucky purposes than for federal
purposes. The differences will continue through the life of the
assets. There will be recapture and basis differences for Kentucky
and federal income tax purposes until the assets are sold or fully
depreciated.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLUMN B
Depreciation, Section 179 Deduction and Gains/Losses From
Disposition of Assets—Important: Follow the instructions for
Reporting Depreciation and Section 179 Deduction Differences if
you have elected for federal income tax purposes to take the 30
percent or the 50 percent special depreciation allowance or the
increased Section 179 deduction for property placed in service after
September 10, 2001. A copy of the federal Form 4562 if filed
for federal income tax purposes must be submitted with Form
740-NP to verify that no adjustments are required.

Multiply your total federal reimbursement in Column A by the
percentage on line 3 of the worksheet and enter in Column B.
This is your Kentucky taxable portion of your moving expense
reimbursement.

Reporting Depreciation and Section 179 Deduction Differences
for property placed in service after September 10, 2001—Create
a Kentucky Form 4562 by entering Kentucky at the top center of
a federal Form 4562 above Depreciation and Amortization. For
property placed into service from September 10, 2001 through
December 31, 2019: In Part I, Line 1 enter the Kentucky limit of
$25,000 and in Part I, Line 3 enter the Kentucky phaseout amount
of $200,000. For property placed into service on or after January
1, 2020: in Part I, line 1, enter the Kentucky limit of $100,000 and
the phaseout threshold does not apply for purposes of determining
Kentucky depreciation. For property placed into service between
September 10, 2001 and December 31, 2019, the maximum
allowable IRC §179 deduction for Kentucky purposes is reduced
dollar–for– dollar by the amount by which the cost of qualifying
IRC §179 property placed in service during the year exceeds the
threshold. In determining the IRC §179 deduction for Kentucky
for property placed into service between September 10, 2001
and December 31, 2019, the income limitation on Line 11 should
be determined by using Kentucky net income before the IRC
§179 deduction instead of federal taxable income. In Part II,
strikethrough and ignore Line 14, Special depreciation allowance
for qualified property placed in service during the tax year. Use the
created Kentucky Form 4562 to compute Kentucky depreciation
and Section 179 deduction in accordance with the IRC in effect
on December 31, 2001. For property placed into service from
September 10, 2001 through December 31, 2019, or the IRC in
effect on December 31, 2003 for property placed into service on
or after January 1, 2020.

wages by the federal work opportunity credit from federal Form
5884. For passive activities, see Form 8582-K. Do not include
income from the national tobacco settlement agreement. Adjust
income for the difference in allowable depreciation and report in
Column B.

Note: In determining the Section 179 deduction for Kentucky,
the income limitation on line 11 is Kentucky net income before
the Section 179 deduction, instead of federal taxable income.
Adjust federal Schedules C, E and F for the difference in allowable
depreciation and report in Column B the Kentucky income (loss)
from business, farming or rental property. Enclose Kentucky Form
4562 and, if filed, federal Form 4562.

"qualified artistic charitable contributions" of any literary, musical,
artistic or scholarly composition, letter or memorandum, or similar
property.

Part-year residents not receiving a Kentucky Schedule K-1, but
receiving a federal K-1 from a partnership, estate, trust or S
corporation, must report the same amount of distributive income,
gains or losses, etc., as reported for federal income tax purposes
from entities whose taxable years end during their period of
residence.

An amount equal to the fair market value of the property on the date
