Form PW-2 is filed by nonresident owners (partners, members, shareholders, or beneficiaries) to request an exemption from with-
holding on income from a pass-through entity. If approved, the nonresident owner is responsible for notifying the pass-through entity 
about the exemption.
Caution: A pass-through entity may not file Form PW-2 on behalf of its owners, and it is required to withhold until it receives an 
approved Form PW-2 from the owner.
Due Date: One month after the close of a tax-option (S) corporation’s or partnership’s taxable year. Two months after the close of 
an estate’s or trust’s taxable year.  Any Form PW-2 that is filed after the due date will not be accepted.

plete a separate Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5 for each pass-through entity and include it with the Form PW-2. (see instructions)

Part 4: Nonresident Owner’s Distributive Share of Wisconsin Income and Credits from Pass-Through Entity 

Amount of Wisconsin income from the pass-through entity ........................................                                        .00

Amount of Wisconsin credits from the pass-through entity  ........................................                                      .00
Caution: Nonresident owners with less than $2,000 of Wisconsin source income from a pass-through entity should not file Form 
PW-2 because the pass-through entity is already exempt from withholding on behalf of such nonresident owner.

Part 5: Reason for Exemption (check all that apply)

1. You made estimated payments (or applied an overpayment from the prior tax year).

     Amount of your estimated payments including overpayments applied from the prior tax year .........                                 .00
     Caution: if your estimated payments were not sufficient to cover the income that will be allocated to you from the pass-through 
     entity (after accounting for credits from the pass-through entity), include an explanation of the reason why you believe these 
     estimated payments are sufficient. For example, you may have a loss from another activity that partially offsets your income 
     from the pass-through entity.
2. You have a Wisconsin source net operating or business loss carryforward which exceeds the amount of Wisconsin income that
     will be allocated to you from the pass-through entity. Caution: Do not check this box unless you have filed Wisconsin income
     or franchise tax returns for each year of losses that produced the loss carryforward.

     Amount of your Wisconsin source net operating or business loss carryforward....................                                    .00
3.  You have Wisconsin credits or credit carryforwards from other activities in the current taxable year which exceed the tax (be-
     fore credits) attributable to your total Wisconsin income from the pass-through entity.

     Credit Name:                               Amount:                         .00       SSN or FEIN of Source:
     If you have more than oneSamplecredit, include a schedule detailing the name and amount of each credit, andFormprovide the identifica-
     tion number of the source (if applicable).
4. You are a pass-through entity and have withheld taxes on your Wisconsin income (including income passed through to you from a 
     lower-tier entity) allocable to your nonresident partners, members, shareholders, or beneficiaries, unless an exemption applies.
5. Other (include an explanation)
