Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for fiscal year end Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (Commission File No. 1-11084) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes may not foot or crossfoot due to rounding.

Due to the seasonality of the business of Kohl’s Corporation (the “Company,” “Kohl’s,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Reportable Segments

We are an omnichannel retailer that operates as a single reportable segment. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. The net income (loss) presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is the financial information reviewed by the CODM. The CODM assesses the performance of the Company and decides how to allocate resources using net income (loss) that is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Net income (loss) is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM regularly reviews information consistent with the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Supplier Finance Programs

The Company has an agreement with a third-party financing provider to facilitate a supplier financing program. The program provides participating suppliers the option to receive outstanding payment obligations of the Company early at a discount. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the program. All amounts payable to the financial institution relating to suppliers participating in the program are recorded in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $224 million as of May 2, 2026, $201 million as of January 31, 2026, and $125 million as of May 3, 2025.

International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") Tariff Recovery

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under the IEEPA. As a result of this ruling, the Company may be eligible for refunds of duties paid during fiscal 2025 and the first month of fiscal 2026. The Company paid approximately $190 million in IEEPA tariffs during this period. On April 20, 2026 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) launched Phase 1 of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) portal and refund process. We submitted claims seeking approximately $140 million of refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs as part of the Phase 1 CAPE tariff refunds. We continue to monitor CBP guidance regarding Phase 2, which is expected to address entries that comprise the remainder of the Company’s potential recovery.

In accordance with ASC 450-30, “Gain Contingencies,” the Company has elected to use a gain contingency model to account for recoveries of previously paid IEEPA tariffs. Under this model, a gain contingency is not recognized in the financial statements until the gain is realized or realizable. Tariff recoveries would be reflected as a reduction of Merchandise inventories to the extent the inventory remains on hand, or as a reduction of Cost of merchandise sold for inventory that has already been sold.

As of May 2, 2026, the Company has not received any refund payments. Accordingly, no gain has been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended May 2, 2026.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Effective

In 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. For public entities, the provisions within ASU 2024-03 are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The provisions within ASU 2024-03 are required to be applied prospectively; however, they may be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods following the effective date. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"), which requires software capitalization to begin when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project; and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. For public entities, the provisions within ASU 2025-06 are effective for the first annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The provisions within ASU 2025-06 allow for a prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
