In other words, state income tax rates drop January 1, 2013. You might consider adjusting your withholding then instead of waiting until 2014.

Do you mean federal withholding tax? If we aren't paying KS tax what's to withhold?

The rates will only drop for rich people. For instance the partners in a law firm or doctors office will see their income tax rates drop. However, associates, nurses, paralegals, secretaries, and custodians will continue to pay the same rate.

Even if you don't change your number of exemptions, if you're a W-2 (normal) employee, your withholding will change with your first paycheck in 2013.
You can look up the state withholding guide. It's a little arcane. But, currently, if you're listed as married with 2 deductions (on your K-4), making $35,000 a year, and paid every two weeks, your current KS withholding is $33 per paycheck. Under the new law, the withholding will be $25. Don't spend it all in one place.
Same income unmarried with a kid? ~$50 a paycheck to $41.

When will they go into effect? About the same time that those taxes are shifted to local governments to fund the "state defunded local stuff"....... because there is no free lunch!
