Solution
Kansas changed its e-file schema for Tax Year 2024. Previously, the Kansas Operations field accepted Y/N. Now it requires 'X' for yes or a blank field for no.
- Go to or .
- In theKansas Operationsfield, replaceYwithX. If the field showsN, clear it instead.
- Run a full recompute, then recreate the e-file.
