Last-minute tax filers in Kansas can still meet the April 15 deadline by filing their state income taxes online at www.accessKansas.org. The Kansas Department of Revenue's WebFile system is an easy-to-use service that does not require any complicated software downloads and is available to all Kansas taxpayers.

The online filing system is free to those who qualify for a refund or who pay by electronic check. Taxpayers who overpaid their 2004 taxes and file online will receive their refunds within five to seven days, while refunds from paper returns will take approximately two weeks. The Kansas Department of Revenue also offers an online refund status service through its WebFile service. Funds will not be withdrawn from accounts until April 15 for taxpayers who underpaid or elected to pay by electronic check.
