Am I required to file a short period return?

I have applied for an automatic 6-month extension for federal. Do I need to file an extension with Kansas?
Kansas accepts the federal extension of time. The Kansas due date will be one month after the federal extended due date. The extension of time is to file the return not pay the tax. 90% of the tax must be paid by the due date to avoid late payment penalty.
