57.1. How Do I E-File My Kansas Report?

E-Filing Your Kansas Report

 

Aristotle currently offers complete and "ready to file" e-files for the Kansas State Report!

How Do I Download the E-File?

 

Unfortunately, the state does not currently allow third-party vendors to e-file directly into their system from other software products. That said, all you need to do is download the e-file output and then upload it into the state's system! The easiest way to do this is to generate the report and right click on the link for the e-file output for each of the schedules and select "Save link as", give it a suitable file name while leaving the file extension as it is, and save the file.

 

 

How Do I Upload the E-File I Just Downloaded?

 

Per the KS SoS Office, before you can file ANY reports, you will need to register your campaign or committee:

Before filing finance reports, candidates must first file an Appointment of Treasurer form and PACs/Party Committees must first file a Statement of Organization to start an online account. If either form has been previously filed on paper, an electronic form must be re-submitted to obtain usernames and passwords for electronic filings.

Once you've received your filing username and password, you will need to go to the following link and log in:

You will then need to follow these steps:

1) Select the option to "File This Report" for the report you would like to file

2) Choose the "e-upload" option for the schedule you want to upload your e-file to

3) Indicate whether you are appending or replacing the schedule and then selecting the file to upload from your computer through the browse function  

4) Click the "Upload CSV Schedule..." button

5) Click the "Import CSV Data" button

6) Once you've repeated the process for each of your schedules, you will need to click the "Submit Completed Report" button to submit your Campaign Finance Report.

 

 

 

 

General Warnings

 

We advise clients to never open the efile output before uploading unless it's strictly necessary. Often times various programs like Excel, Notepad, etc, will auto-format files in ways that renders them non-compliant with state requirements. For example, Excel will drop the leading zeros on values in cells, which can be problematic when dealing with KS zip codes.
