The Kansas excess lines agent online reporting forms have been updated.  Login to Producer Desktop and follow the instructions to use the new online forms.  For many agents no file uploads will be required.  All data can be filled in using online screens.


2009 Online Tax Form Available

Note: Schedule C changed effective January 26, 2010.

The 2009 Kansas Online Tax Form is available. The form must be completed online and submitted electronically through the Kansas Insurance Department's Company Desktop website. A login is required to complete and file the form.

New to the form this year is an expanded Form 100, reporting health insurance premiums. This year a greater breakdown is required of information traditionally reported on the Form 100, and new categories have been added to assist in reporting and responding to health premium questions. Data in Section I of the form will continue to be used in computing statutorily-mandated company assessments.

Payments made to the department in 2009 have been pre-populated to the Retaliatory Form, and a report of 2009 agent and agency cancellations has been posted under the Taxes tab.
