Tax Clearance Request Information

What is a Tax Clearance?

A Certificate of Tax Clearance is a comprehensive review to determine and ensure that the applicant's account is in current compliance with all applicable:

• Kansas tax laws administered by the director of taxation within the Kansas Department of Revenue.
• Taxes/fees/payments administered by the Kansas Department of Labor.
• Other various fees/charges administered by Kansas state agencies.

The status of, and information pertaining to a tax clearance is subject to change(s), which may arise as a result of a State Tax Audit, Federal Revenue Agent Report, or other lawful adjustment(s).

A State Tax Clearance should not be confused with a Letter of Good Standing which is an unrelated document issued by the Kansas Secretary of State's office.
