About Paying taxes in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri

Paying taxes in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri?
If I live in Kansas City, MO but work in Kansas City,KS would I have to pay more taxes since I work in one state and live in another? I am planning on working in Kansas City, KS but a house that I have found for rent is in Kansas City, MO. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Answer 1 :
I'd rather get the place in KCK to avoid the hassle. Some states have a "reciprocity agreement", where if you're a resident of, say Maryland, but work in Virginia, then you don't file Virginia taxes, and instead claim your VA income as if you had earned it in Maryland. Kansas and Missouri can't seem to come to an agreement. But, I could be wrong, so google Kansas Income Tax, then google Missouri Income Tax, just to be sure.
Answer 2 :
If you work in KS but live in MO, you'll have to file a KS return as a "Non-Resident". You'll also have to file a MO return but can claim credit to reduce your tax liability for earning income/paying taxes in another state.
