It would be helpful if the K-40SVR Kansas property tax relief claim for seniors and disabled veterans had an option to file the form under either the taxpayer or the spouse. Currently Lacerte is only listing the taxpayer on the form and providing only the taxpayers date of birth. I have a couple who had their claim rejected because the home was owned by the spouse, not the taxpayer (I missed this fact during the business of the tax season). For another couple the spouse is older than the taxpayer, so her base year is earlier by 2 years and therefore her property tax claim is higher than his. Having the option to file under the spouse who is older means a higher rebate for the return. Also having this option would allow me to file the claim under whichever spouse owns the home in the case that the property is not in the name of both taxpayers.
