We evaluate the complete set of kinematic power corrections (KPCs) to the leading power (LP) term of the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization theorem for semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) with a polarized target. This formulation restores the contributions of twist-two TMD distributions to all structure functions, including those that vanish at leading power, such as contributions of longitudinal photons. The resulting expressions are explicitly gauge- and frame-invariant, and inherit all key features of the standard TMD factorization framework, including the coefficient functions and the evolution equations. Numerical estimations show that KPCs contribute only a few percent at GeV, but can reach several tens of percents when GeV. Consequently, accounting for kinematic power corrections can be vital for an accurate theoretical description of current SIDIS measurements.
