2 Which form should I file? File Form 740 if you are a full-year Kentucky resident and meet the filing requirements in the Instructions for Form 740. File Form 740-NP if you are a nonresi­ dent 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. • had income from Kentucky sources while a nonresident.

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 right– hand 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. You may qualify to file your federal and 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 and is designed to be the simple electronic equivalent of a paper form. It will provide basic mathematical and error checks but unlike most other software it does not ask about or explain tax situations. Your federal forms should be completed before accessing the KY File website. You can access the KY File website at Filetaxes. ky.gov . Where to Get Forms Forms and instructions are available online from the Department of Revenue’s website at revenue.ky.gov and at all Kentucky Taxpayer Service Centers.

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.

3 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 can 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 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 n o w b e m a d e e l e c t r o n i c a l l y a t 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) 564- 3658.

4 IRS extensions by e-file (by personal computer or a tax professional)— Enclose a copy of Form 4868 with the confirmation number in the lower right-hand corner of the form or a copy of the electronic acknowledgment. Military Personnel—Kentucky residents who are in the military are often granted extensions for tax filings when serving outside the United States. Any extension granted for federal income tax purposes will be honored for Kentucky income tax purposes. 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. Interest and Penalties—Interest at the “tax interest rate” applies to any income tax paid after the original due date of the return. If the amount of tax paid by the original due date is less than 75 percent of the tax due, a late payment penalty may be assessed (minimum penalty is $10). Interest and penalty charges can be avoided or reduced by sending payment with your extension request by the due date. If you wish to make a payment prior to the due date of your return when using the: (1) Kentucky Extension—Complete Section II, Kentucky Extension Payment Voucher, of the Application for Extension of Time to File, Form 740EXT, and send with payment. Write “KY Income Tax—2022” and your Social Security number(s) on the face of the check. (2) Federal Automatic Extension—Make a copy of the lower portion of the federal Application for Automatic Extension, Form 4868, and send with payment. Make check payable to Kentucky State Treasurer, write

Box 181, Station 56, Frankfort, KY 40602-0181, fax your request to Taxpayer Assistance (502) 564-3392, 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. 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 If you discover that you omitted deductions or otherwise 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 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. Confidentiality 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. 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.

5 Personal Property Forms Kentucky business taxpayers are reminded to report all taxable personal property, except motor vehicles, owned on January 1 to either the property valuation administrator in the county of residence (or location of business) or the Office of Property Valuation in Frankfort.

Do not mail this return with your income tax return; use a separate envelope. Kentucky State Treasury—Unclaimed Property Individuals—The Kentucky State Treasury may be holding unclaimed property for you or your family.

If you were a Kentucky resident for the entire year, your filing requirement depends upon your family size, modified gross income, Kentucky adjusted gross income and income from self- employment. You must file if your modified gross income exceeds the amount in Chart A and your Kentucky adjusted gross income exceeds the amount in Chart B. Complete your federal tax return first. If you are not required to file a federal tax return, see instructions for line 5. MODIFIED GROSS INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE (Use With Chart A) Family Size—Consists of yourself, your spouse if married and living in the same household and qualifying children. For the purposes of computing the Family Size Tax Credit, the maximum family size is four. Qualifying Dependent Child—Means a qualifying child as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 152(c), and includes a child who lives in the household but cannot be claimed as a dependent if the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 152(e)(2) and 152(e)(4) apply. In general, to be a taxpayer’s qualifying child, a person must satisfy four tests: • Relationship—The taxpayer’s child or stepchild (whether by blood or adoption), foster child, sibling or stepsibling, or a descendant of one of these. • Residence—Has the same principal residence as the taxpayer for more than half the tax year. A qualifying child is determined without regard to the exception for children of divorced or separated parents. Other federal exceptions apply. • Age—Must be under the age of 19 at the end of the tax year, or under the age of 24 if a full-time student for at least five months of the year, or be permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year. • Support—Did not provide more than one-half of his/her own support for the year. Modified Gross Income—Modified gross income is the greater of federal adjusted gross income adjusted to include interest income derived from municipal bonds (non-Kentucky) and lump- sum pension distributions not included in federal adjusted gross income; or Kentucky adjusted gross income adjusted to include lump-sum pension distributions not included in federal adjusted gross income. KENTUCKY ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME (Use Chart B if Modified Gross Income is Greater Than the Amounts in Chart A) Kentucky Adjusted Gross Income—Consists of your federal adjusted gross income plus any additions and subtractions from Schedule M, Modifications to Federal Adjusted Gross Income. TAXPAYERS WITH SELF–EMPLOYMENT INCOME—Must file a Kentucky individual income tax return regardless of the amount of Kentucky adjusted gross income used in the Chart B if you have gross receipts from self-employment in excess of modified gross income for your family size in Chart A. Part-time or part-year workers may have income taxes withheld from their paychecks even though the filing requirements are not met. An income tax return must be filed to claim a refund of the Kentucky taxes withheld.

8 FILING REQUIREMENTS (Continued) A child meeting the filing requirements must file a return even though being claimed as a dependent by the parent. Kentucky income tax law contains no special provisions for taxing the in­ come of a minor child at the parent’s tax rates nor the reporting of income of a child on the parent’s return. Generally, all income of Kentucky residents, regardless of where it was earned, is subject to Kentucky income tax. Nonresidents and part-year residents must report income on Form 740-NP. Military Personnel—MILITARY PAY EXCLUSION—Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, all military pay received by active duty members of the Armed Forces of the United States, members of reserve components of the Armed Forces of the United States, and members of the National Guard will be exempt from Kentucky income tax per 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 ap­ plies 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, the Department of Revenue will refund the tax withheld. Kentucky residents who are in the military are often granted extensions for military service when serving outside the United States. Any extension granted for federal income tax purposes will be honored for Kentucky income tax purposes. For Fiscal Year Filers Only—Most people pay taxes for a calendar year. However, if you file for a taxable year other than a calendar year or for part of a year, enter the beginning and ending dates of that year on the line at the top of the form. For Deceased Taxpayers—If a taxpayer died before filing a return for 2022, the person who files the return should check the applicable deceased box. When and Where to File The income tax return for calendar year 2022 must be postmarked or submitted electronically no later than April 18, 2023, to avoid penalties and interest. Mail to: Refund/Other Returns Kentucky Department of Revenue Frankfort, KY 40618-0006 Pay Returns Kentucky Department of Revenue Frankfort, KY 40619-0008 Taxpayers who expect refunds should file as early as possible to receive refunds promptly. If you have your tax return prepared by another person, you may wish to mail the return yourself in order to ensure prompt filing. Social Security Number Social Security Number—You are required to provide your full Social Security number per Section 405, Title 42, of the United States Code. This information will be used to establish your identity for tax purposes only. Political Party Fund Designation You may designate $2 of your taxes to either the Democratic or Republican party if you have a tax liability of at least $2 ($4 for married persons filing joint returns). Fifty cents will be paid to the corresponding political organization in your county of residence and the remainder will be paid to the respective state political party. This designation will not increase your tax or decrease your refund. You may make this designation by checking the applicable box. A taxpayer and spouse may each make a designation. Persons making no designation should check the “No Designation” box. Reporting Periods and Accounting Procedures Kentucky law requires taxpayers to report income on the same calendar or fiscal year and to use the same methods of accounting as required for federal income tax purposes. Any federally ap­ proved change in accounting period or methods must be reported to the Kentucky Department of Revenue. Enclose a copy of the federal approval. Changes to federal income tax law made after the Internal Rev­ enue Code reference date contained in KRS 141.010(15) shall not apply for purposes of Chapter 141 unless adopted by the General Assembly. Filing Status Legal liabilities are affected by the choice of filing status. Married persons who file joint or combined returns are jointly and severally liable for all income taxes due for the period covered by the return. That is, each spouse may be held legally responsible for payment of taxes on income earned by the other. If spouses want to credit the refund of one against the liability of the other or combine their tax liabilities or refunds, they must file a combined return. If spouses want to keep their tax liabilities and/or refunds separate, each must file a separate tax form. Check the box that describes your filing status. If you are married, filed a joint federal return and both you and your spouse had income, you may be able to reduce your tax by using Filing Status 2 rather than Filing Status 3.  APRIL 2023 S M T W T F S

11 Line 27, Kentucky Use Tax Important Reminder from the Department of Revenue About Out-of-State Purchases: If you made untaxed purchases from out-of-state retailers, the use tax line on your return should contain a number. Like every other state that has a sales tax, Kentucky has a use tax that requires that out-of-state purchases of tangible personal property, digital property and extended warranties for use in Kentucky be taxed at the same amount as if they had taken place in Kentucky and subjected to Kentucky’s sales tax. This ensures equality of treatment between in-state and out-of-state transactions. Although the use tax has been in the tax code since 1960, it is now more relevant than ever because of the increasing percentage of online sales. Pursuant to KRS 139.330, a 6 percent use tax is due if you make out–of–state purchases for storage, use or other consumption in Kentucky and did not pay at least 6 percent state sales tax to the seller at the time of purchase. For example, if you order from catalogs, make purchases through the Internet, or shop outside Kentucky for items such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, cleaning supplies, furniture, computer equipment, pre-written computer software, office supplies, books, souvenirs, exercise equipment or subscribe to magazines, you may owe use tax to Kentucky. It is important to remember that use tax applies only to items purchased from a retailer outside Kentucky, including another country, which would have been taxed if purchased in Kentucky. For your convenience, a Use Tax Calculation Worksheet and Optional Use Tax Table are provided below. The Optional Use Tax Table is designed for those purchases of less than $1,000. If you made untaxed out-of-state purchases in amounts under $1,000, but do not have records readily available that show the amount of those purchases, you may use the Optional Use Tax Table below to estimate the compensating use tax based on your Kentucky Adjusted Gross Income (KYAGI). All untaxed purchases in the amount of $1,000 or greater must be accounted for on an actual basis using the Use Tax Calculation Worksheet. Failure to timely report may result in assessment of penalty and interest in addition to the tax amount due. Need more information about use tax?

Credit Against the Kentucky Use Tax Due You may reduce or eliminate the amount of Kentucky use tax due by the amount of state sales tax paid to the out-of-state seller on the same transaction. The reduction may not exceed the amount of Kentucky use tax due on the purchase. For example, if Georgia state sales tax of 4 percent is paid, only the additional 2 percent is due to Kentucky, or if Illinois state sales tax of 6.25 percent is paid, no additional Kentucky use tax is due. Sales tax paid to a city, county or another country cannot be used as a credit against Kentucky use tax due. Monday—Friday 8 a.m.—5:00 p.m., ET (502) 564-5170 1. Purchases of $0 to $1,000

Line 12—Depreciation, Section 179 Deduction and Gains/ Losses From Disposition of Assets—Important: Use Schedule M, lines 3 and 12 only 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 to verify that no adjustments are required. 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 Line 9, Pension Income Exclusion—The 2022 exclusion amount is 100 percent of taxable retirement benefits or $31,110, whichever is less. All pension and retirement income paid under a written retirement plan (qualified or unqualified) is eligible for exclusion. This includes pensions, annuities, IRA accounts, 401(k) and similar deferred compensation plans, income received from converting a regular IRA to a Roth IRA, death benefits, disability retirement benefits and other similar accounts or plans. This exclusion is for each taxpayer and must be computed independently of your spouse who may be filing on the same return. A taxpayer and spouse must complete and claim their own exclusion, regardless of filing status. Joint filers—Combine the separately computed pension exclusion amounts and enter on Schedule M, Line 9, Column B. Note: Kentucky follows the CARES Act provision, which allows coronavirus-related distributions, up to $100,000 received in tax year 2020, to be included in gross income over a three year period. Coronavirus-related distributions that are included ratably in gross income over three years for federal income tax purposes should also be included in gross income ratably over three years for Kentucky income tax purposes. The taxpayer can exclude these distributions from gross income up to the $31,110 pension income exclusion for each of the three years. Pension Income Exclusion Worksheet Step 1.

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. Enclose the created Kentucky Form 4562 to Form 740 and enter the amount of Kentucky depreciation from line 22 on line 12. Line 13, Enter Active Duty Military Pay—Enter active duty military pay included on Form 740, page 1, line 5. All military pay received by members of the Armed Forces while on active duty can be excluded. Active duty is defined in KRS 141.175. Line 14—Enter other subtractions from federal adjusted gross income not listed above (enclose detailed schedule). Include: • income of precinct workers for election training or working at election booths; • capital gains on property taken by eminent domain; • passive activity loss adjustment (see Form 8582-K and instructions); • income of a child reported on the parent’s return; • artistic charitable contributions (if you do not itemize deductions); • at-risk limitations (see instructions below); • qualified farm networking project differences per KRS 141.0101(15); • differences in the gains (losses) from the sale of intangible assets amortized under the provisions of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993; • differences in gains (losses) from assets purchased after September 10, 2001; and • income of military personnel killed in the line of duty. Determining and Reporting Differences in Gain or Loss From Disposition of Assets—If during the year you dispose of assets placed in service after September 10, 2001, on which the 30 percent or the 50 percent special depreciation allowance or the increased Section 179 deduction was taken for federal income tax purposes, you will need to determine and report the difference in the amount of gain or loss on the assets as follows: Create a Kentucky form by entering Kentucky at the top center of a federal Schedule D, federal Form 4797 and other applicable federal forms. Compute Kentucky gain or loss from the disposed assets using the Kentucky basis. Enter the difference in federal gain or loss and the Kentucky gain or loss on the appropriate line. Enclose the created Kentucky Schedule D, Kentucky Form 4797 and other forms or schedules to support the deduction. At-Risk Limitations—Federal/Kentucky income (loss) differences may create different allowable losses due to at-risk limitations. If you have amounts invested in an activity for which you are not at risk and used federal Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations, complete federal Form 6198 using Kentucky amounts to determine if the Kentucky allowable loss differs from the federal allowable loss. For a passive activity, use the Kentucky allowable loss to complete Form 8582-K. For all other activities (nonpassive), enter the difference as an “other addition” or “other subtraction” on line 5 or line 14. Line 16, Kentucky Net Operating Loss—Enter Kentucky net operating loss deduction from Schedule KNOL, Part II, Section A, Line 8. Net operating losses generated on or after January 1, 2018, are limited to 80% of the Kentucky taxable income without regard to the net operating loss, but any unused amounts are available for carryforward indefinitely. Schedule KNOL must be completed if you are claiming a Kentucky net operating loss deduction on Kentucky Schedule M. See Schedule KNOL instructions. Note: If your net operating loss occurred in 2022, complete Part I of Kentucky Schedule KNOL to determine the amount of loss to be carried forward in any future years. Retain a copy for your records and enclose a copy with your return. Line 17, Total Subtractions—Add lines 15 and 16. Enter on line 17 and on Form 740, page 1, line 8.

24 Instructions for Schedule A Do not include on Schedule A items deducted elsewhere, such as on Schedule C, E, F or Kentucky Schedule M. You may itemize your deductions for Kentucky even if you do not itemize for federal purposes. Generally, if your deductions exceed $2,770, it will benefit you to itemize. If you do not itemize, you may elect to take the standard deduction of $2,770. Special Rules for Married Couples—If one spouse itemizes deductions, the other must also itemize. Married couples filing a joint federal return and who wish to file separate returns or a combined return for Kentucky may: (a) file separate Schedules A showing the specific deductions claimed by each, or (b) file one Schedule A and divide the total deductions between them based on the percentage of each spouse’s income to total income. Lines 1 through 6—Interest Expense You may deduct interest that you have paid during the taxable year on a home mortgage. You may not deduct interest paid on credit or charge card accounts, a life insurance loan, an automobile or other consumer loan, delinquent taxes or on a personal note held by a bank or individual. Interest paid on business debts should be deducted as a business expense on the appropriate business income schedule. You may not deduct interest on an indebtedness of another person when you are not legally liable for payment of the interest. Nor may you deduct interest paid on a gambling debt or any other nonenforceable obligation. Interest paid on money borrowed to buy tax-exempt securities or single premium life insurance is not deductible. Line 1—List the interest and points (including “seller-paid points”) paid on your home mortgage to financial institutions and reported to you on federal Form 1098. Line 2—List other interest paid on your home mortgage and not reported to you on federal Form 1098. Show name and address of individual to whom interest was paid. Line 3—List points (including “seller-paid points”) not reported to you on federal Form 1098. Points (including loan origination fees) charged only for the use of money and paid with funds other than those obtained from the lender are deductible over the life of the mortgage. However, points may be deducted in the year paid if all three of the following apply: (1) the loan was used to buy, build or improve your main home, and was secured by that home, (2) the points did not exceed the points usually charged in the area where the loan was made, and were figured as a percentage of the loan amount, and (3) if the loan was used to buy or build the home, you must have provided funds (see below) at least equal to the points charged. If the loan was used to improve the home, you must have paid the points with funds other than those obtained from the lender. Funds provided by you include down payments, escrow deposits, earnest money applied at closing, and other amounts actually paid at closing. They do not include amounts you borrowed as part of the overall transaction. Seller-Paid Points—If you are the buyer, you may be able to deduct points the seller paid in 2022. You can do this if the loan was used to buy your main home and the points meet item 2 above. You must reduce your basis in the home by those points, even if you do not deduct them. If you are the seller, you cannot deduct the points as interest. Instead, include them as an expense of the sale. This generally does not apply to points paid to refinance your mortgage. Federal rules apply. See federal Publication 936 for more information. Line 4—Qualified Mortgage Insurance Premiums—Premiums that you pay or accrue for “qualified mortgage insurance” during 2022 in connection with home acquisition debt on your qualified home are deductible as home mortgage insurance premiums. Qualified mortgage insurance is mortgage insurance provided by the Veterans Administration, the Federal Housing Administration, or the Rural Housing Administration, and private mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance premiums paid or accrued on any mortgage insurance contract issued before January 1, 2007, are not deductible. Limit on amount you can deduct. You cannot deduct your mortgage insuance premiums if the amount of Form 740, line 9, is more than $109,000 ($54,500 if married filing separately on a combined return or separate returns) If the amount of Form 740, line 9, is more than $100,000 ($50,000 if married filing separately on combined return or separate return), your deduction is limited and you must use the worksheet below to figure the deduction.

28 Instructions for Form 2210-K General Instructions Purpose of Form—To determine if you owe an underpayment of estimated tax penalty. Who Must File Form 2210–K—In general, you may owe a penalty for 2022 if you owe more than $500 and if the total of your withholding and timely estimated tax payments didn’t equal at least the smaller of: 1. 90% of your 2022 tax , or 2. 100% of your 2021 tax. Your 2021 tax return must cover a 12–month period. Special rules for certain individuals—Different percentages are used for farmers and fishermen, and certain higher income taxpayers. Farmers and fishermen—If at least two-thirds of your Kentucky gross income for 2021 or 2022 is from farming and fishing, substitute 66 2/3% for 90% in (1) above. See federal Form 2210 instructions. Higher income taxpayers—If your Kentucky adjusted gross income for 2021 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your Kentucky 2021 filing status was married filing separately on a combined return or separate returns), substitute 110% for 100% in (2) above. Part I—Exceptions to the Penalty—You may not owe a penalty if one of the exceptions below are met. If you meet one or more of the exceptions, check the appropriate box(es), complete the lines associated with the exception and check the “Form 2210-K attached” box on form 740, line 34(a) (Form 740-NP, line 34(a)). If none of the exceptions apply, go to Part II. Exceptions: • You had no liability for 2021, you were a U.S. Citizen or resident alien for the entire year (or an estate of a domestic decedent or a domestic trust), and your 2021 tax return (or would have been required to file) was for a full 12 months. • The tax shown on the 2022 return minus the amount of tax you paid through withholding, estimated payments, and refundable credits is less than $500. • Your gross income from farming or fishing is at least two‑thirds of your annual gross income from all sources for 2021 or 2022 and you paid the entire tax due by March 1, 2023. • You’re filing a decedent’s estate return for any tax year ending before the date that is two years after the decedent’s death. • You’re filing a trust return for a trust that was owned by a decedent for any tax year ending before the date that is two years after the decedent’s death. Part II—Required Annual Payment Lines 1–8—This section is used to calculate your required annual payment. The required annual payment is used to calculate the amount of payment that you should have made each quarter. The required annual payment is the lesser of: (1) 90% of your income tax liability after refundable credits are applied or (2) 100% of the tax shown on your 2021 tax return (2021 Form 740 or Form 740- NP, page 1, line 26 or Form 741, line 20). Higher income taxpayers see instructions above. Line 9—Multiply line 8 by 25 percent (.25) and enter in columns A through D, or if you used the annualized income installment method in Part III, enter the amount from Part III, line 20 into the appropriate columns. To use the annualized income installment method complete Part III. Line 10—Enter the sum of estimated tax payments made and Kentucky withholding for each quarter. If you have Kentucky income tax withheld, multiply the total by 25 percent (.25) and enter in columns A through D. If you had a credit forward from a prior year return, enter the total amount in Column A only. Note: Complete lines 11 through 18 for Column A before going to Column B, etc. Line 11—Enter amount from line 18 of the previous column. This amount should be the overpayment if any from the previous column. Line 13—Enter amount from line 17 of the previous column. This amount should be the underpayment amount from the previous column that will be carried over to each column until the payment is made. Line 17—This is the underpayment amount for that column and any underpayment from the previous columns. The underpayment will continue to carryover to the next column until the payment is made or the due date, whichever is earlier. Figuring the Penalty—The penalty will be calculated on each underpayment in each column from the payment due date written above line 9 to the date on line 19 or the date the payment was made, whichever is earlier. The underpayments will carryover to the next column and be added to that columns underpayment to calculate the penalty on that balance. Line 19—Use this date to calculate the number of days that the current interest amount will be based upon, unless the underpayment was paid prior to this date. Line 20—This is the number of days from the payment due date shown above line 9 to the date the amount on line 17 was paid or the date shown on line 19 for the column in which you are calculating penalty. For example, if your underpayment on line 17 for column A is $1,000, you would calculate the penalty from 4-15-22 to 6-15‑22 and enter 61 days on line 20. If this $1,000 remains unpaid, it will be added to any underpayment in column B and you would calculate interest from 6-15-22 until 9-15-22 which would be 92 days for that period, etc. Line 21—The annual percentage rate is established by the Department of Revenue for each calendar year. The percentage rate for calendar years 2022 is 5 percent and 2023 is 8 percent. The penalty calculation for the required third installment payment may be calculated using two different rates. Part III—Annualized Income Installment Method If your income varied during the year you may be able to lower or eliminate the amount of one or more required installments by using the annualized income installment method. For example, you operated your business on a seasonal basis or you had a large capital gain late in the year. Note: If you use Part III for any payment due dates, you must use it for all payment due dates. Line 1—For each period (column), figure your total income minus your adjustments to income. Include your share of partnership or S corporation income or loss items for the period. Line 2—Estates and trusts don’t use the amounts shown in columns (a) through (d). See Federal instructions.
