How to Apply for Kansas First-Time Home Buyer Savings Account
Step 1: Open a savings account at any participating financial institution and designate it as a First-Time Home Buyer Account by filing Schedule FTHB with your Kansas income tax return. Contribute up to the annual limit and claim the deduction.
Notes
Established by the Kansas First-Time Home Buyer Savings Account Act. Technically a state income tax deduction (not credit) but stored as Tax Credit for taxonomy compatibility. Pairs well with DPA programs since contributions can be saved for the buyer's required cash investment.
