For filing to the Kansas Department of Labor (DOL), DAS produces:

  • A PDF copy of the Form K-CNS 100, Quarterly Wage Report & Unemployment Tax Return, and Form K-CNS 101, Continuation Sheet - Quarterly Wage Report & Unemployment Tax Return.

  • A .txt file for e-file.

Note  As of July 1, 2011, all employers with 50 or more employees, or third-party administrators with 50 or more client employees, must electronically file all Quarterly Wage Reports and contribution returns and make any quarterly tax payments online.

To prepare the K-CNS 100:

  • Select the Employees or On the Fly menu, then select State Tax & Wage Forms.

  • Make sure KS is selected, then select K-CNS 100 K-CNS 101 from the Forms droplist.

  • Select the applicable quarter.

  • Review the form and make any necessary entries or edits.

  • Make sure the e-File checkbox is marked (if e-filing), then select Save/Print.

Save/Print creates a PDF copy of the form that can be printed and paper-filed. If e-File was marked, a .txt file for upload to the Kansas Employer Portal is also created.

To e-file:

  • Log in to the Kansas Employer Portal.

  • Follow the menu options to upload the wage file.

  • The file for upload can be found by browsing to the drive where DAS is installed > DrakeAccounting20YY > DAS20YYData > Clients > client code > EFile > KS > KSKCNS100KCNS101 (DrakeAccounting20YY > Clients > client code > EFile > KS > KSKCNS100KCNS101 in DAS20 and prior) and selecting the file named KSKCNS100KCNS101_YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC.txt (where YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC is the date and time of file creation).
