•  You could be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return and either of the following applies:
  (1)  Your gross income was more than $1,300 and it included at least $451 of unearned income, or

  return does not have to be filed by a nonresident of Wisconsin if all income is exempt from tax as disaster relief work performed 
  during a state of emergency declared by the Governor. For further information, see Publication 411, Disaster Relief.

                                                   General Instructions                                                             4

  Who Should File
Even if you do not have to file, you should file to get a refund if: 
•  You had Wisconsin income tax withheld from your wages
•  You paid estimated taxes for 2024
•  You claim the earned income credit or the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit

  How To Get An Extension Of Time To File
Your return is due April 15, 2025.

If you cannot file on time, you can get an extension. You can use any federal extension provision for Wisconsin, even if you are 
filing your federal return by April 15.

How to get an extension  You do           not    need to submit a request for an extension to us prior to the time you file your Wisconsin 
return. When you file your Form 1 include either of the following:
•  A copy of your federal extension application (for example, Form 4868)
•  A statement indicating which federal extension provision you want to apply for Wisconsin (for example, the federal automatic 
  6-month extension provision)
Note  You will owe interest on any tax that you have not paid by April 15, 2025. This applies even though you may have an 
extension of time to file. If you do not file your return by April 15, 2025, or during an extension period, you may have to pay 
additional interest and penalties. If you expect to owe tax with your return, you can avoid the 1% per month interest charge during 
the extension period by paying the tax by April 15, 2025. Submit the payment with a 2024 Wisconsin Form 1-ES.  You can get this 
form by using our estimated income tax interactive voucher on our website.  Use Form 1-ES to make an extension payment even if 
you will be filing your return electronically – do not use Form PV.  Exception: You will not be charged interest during an extension 
period if (1) you served in support of Operation Enduring Sentinel in the United States, (2) you qualify for a federal extension 
because of service in a combat zone or contingency operation, or (3) you qualify for a federal extension due to a federally declared 
disaster. See Special Conditions below.

If you were a farmer or fisher and you did not make estimated tax payments, you must file your return and pay any tax due by 
March 3, 2025, to avoid paying interest for underpayment of estimated tax. Farmers and fishers are individuals who earn at least 
two-thirds of their gross income (gross income of both spouses if married filing a joint return) from farming or fishing.

Special Conditions  A “Special Conditions” section is located to the right of the Filing Status section on page 1 of Form 1. If you 
have an extension of time to file due to service in support of Operation Enduring Sentinel in the United States, enter “01” in the 
Special Conditions box. If you qualify for an extension because of service in a combat zone or contingency operation, enter “02” 
in the box. If you qualify for a 2-month extension because you live outside or are on duty in military or naval service outside the 
United States and Puerto Rico on the due date of the return, enter "18" in the box. If you qualify for an extension because of a 
federally declared disaster, enter “03” in the box and indicate the specific disaster on the line provided.

  Filing Your Return
Preparing to file
Before filing your return, follow the steps below in the order listed:
1. Gather your records – Make sure that you have all of your income expense records (for example, wage, interest, and dividend 
    statements)
2 Electronic. filing (e-filing) vs. paper filing – If you e-file, follow the instructions included in your software; otherwise, for paper 
    filing, continue with step 3
3. Complete federal return – Complete your federal return and its supporting schedules; however, if you are not required to file 
    a federal return, list the sources and amounts of your income and deductions on a separate sheet

Electronic filing (e-filing)
Electronic filing is the fastest way to get your federal and state income tax refunds. We can deposit your Wisconsin refund directly 
into a financial institution account.

You may pay by electronic funds transfer if you file electronically. File early and schedule payment as late as April 15. Go to revenue.

Paper filing
Electronic filing (e‑filing) is the fastest way to receive your refund. However, if you paper file, there are several things you can do 
to ensure you receive your refund faster.
Important information:
•  Send original copies
•  Use black ink
•  Clearly write your name and address using capital letters (do not use mailing labels)
•  Do not use commas and dollar signs as they can be misread when scanned
•  Round amounts to whole dollars
•  Do not add cents in front of the preprinted zeros on entry lines
•  To indicate a negative number, use a negative sign (for example, -8300 not (8300))
•  Print your numbers clearly:                                          Do not use:
•  If you make a mistake, erase or start over (do not cross out entries)
•  Put entries on the lines and do not write in the margins or above or below the lines
•  Lines where no entry is required should be left blank (do not enter zeros)
•  Do not draw vertical lines in entry fields (they can be read as an “ı” or  "1" when scanned)
•  Do not staple your return as stapling will delay the processing of your return and any refund

Filing your return
When filing your return, complete the steps below in the order listed:
1. Complete   Wisconsin return    – Follow the line instructions as you fill in your return and sign your complete return (a joint return

    credit card or online.

                                             General Instructions                                                            6

 Amending Your Return

File an amended return only after you file your original return. Generally, a claim for refund must be filed within 4 years after the 
unextended due date of your original return (for example, April 16, 2029, for 2024 calendar‑year returns). However, a claim for 
refund to recover all or part of any tax paid as a result of an office or field audit may be filed within 4 years after the date assessed. 
This applies only if you paid the tax and did not file a petition for redetermination (written appeal).
If you filed an amended return with the IRS or another state, you generally must also file an amended Wisconsin return within 180 
days. You must file an amended Wisconsin return if the changes affect your Wisconsin income, any credit, or tax payable. You 
should also file an amended Wisconsin return to claim a refund or pay any additional tax due even though you are not amending 
your federal or other state return. 

  If your original return was filed on Form 1, you would file an amended return using Form 1 and checking the amended return 
space at the top of page 1. Exception: If you incurred a net operating loss (NOL) on your 2024 Form 1 and elect to carry the NOL 
back to 2022 and 2023, you must file Form X‑NOL, Carryback of Wisconsin Net Operating Loss, for the appropriate year to amend 
your return and claim a refund.

Be sure to include Schedule AR with your amended return to explain all changes and the reason for the change.

Check the space on Form 1 to indicate your filing status on the amended return. If you are changing from separate returns to a 
joint return, both of you must sign the amended return. If there is any tax due, it must be paid in full. You cannot change from joint 
to separate returns after the due date for filing your original return has passed. 

If you are changing your filing status, the amount to fill in on line 1 of Form 1 as federal adjusted gross income must be based 
on the same filing status used for Wisconsin. For example, you and your spouse both originally filed Form 1 as married filing a 
separate return. You are amending to change your filing status to married filing a joint return. The amount to fill in on line 1 must 
be taken from a federal return based on a married filing joint status. If you did not file a joint federal return, you should prepare a 
pro forma federal return using a married filing joint return status.  The federal adjusted gross income and other amounts from this 
pro forma return are then used to complete the amended return. Follow the Form 1 instructions to complete your amended return.

   If you are changing an amount on any line of Form 1, fill in the corrected amount on that line. If you are not changing an 
amount on a line, fill in the amount from your 2024 return as originally filed or as you later amended it. If your latest filed return 
was changed or audited by the department, use the corrected figures from the adjustment notice.

  Credit Repayments

If you are required to repay a Wisconsin credit, you must amend your Wisconsin return for the year in which the disposal of the 
property occurred to report the amount of the repayment. Report the repayment on line 26. See below for examples of credits 
which you may have to repay. 

•  State historic rehabilitation credit You may have to repay all or part of the state historic rehabilitation credit if you dis posed 
  of the property within 5 years after the date on which the preservation or rehabilitation work was complete or the Wisconsin 
  Historical Society determines that you have not complied with all of the requirements. 

  If sale, conveyance, or noncompliance of the property on which the historic rehabilitation credit is computed occurs during the 
  1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th year after the date on which the preservation or rehabilitation is completed, then 100%, 80%, 60%, 
  40%, or 20%, respectively, of the amount of the credits received for rehabilitating or preserving the property will be calculated 
  and added back into the individual's tax liability, according to sec. 71.07(9r)(k), Wis. Stats. The repayment is made for the taxable 
  year in which the recapture event occurs.

  The IRS created federal Form 4255, Recapture of Investment Credit, and the federal Form 4255 instructions in order to compute 
  the amount of the historic rehabilitation tax credit required to be repaid. While Wisconsin has a separate historic tax credit for 
  personal residences, federal Form 4255 can be used to determine the repayment by substituting the Wisconsin credit for the 
  federal credit.

  Example: Taxpayer completed $20,000 of historic rehabilitation expenditures which were approved on November 1, 2022. 
  Taxpayer computes a Wisconsin historic rehabilitation credit of $5,000 ($20,000 qualified rehabilitation expenses x 25% credit 
  rate). Taxpayer uses $1,000 of credit to offset tax in 2022 and $2,000 of credit to offset tax in 2023. On December 1, 2024, the 
  property is sold. The repayment is figured as follows:

  1. Compute the number of full years between the date the property was approved and when it was sold and use the result to find 
     the recapture percentage in the chart on the next page. The number of full years between November 1, 2022, and December 
     1, 2024, is two, so the recapture percentage is 60%.

                                           General Instructions                                               8

   Number of Full Years
   from Date Approved        Recapture
   to Recapture Date         Percentage
       0                     100%
       1                     80%
       2                     60%
       3                     40%
       4                     20%
       5                             0%
  2.  Determine the recapture amount:
   1   Total amount of historic credit used to offset tax                                         $3,000
   2   Less:  Historic tax credits not used to offset tax from an additional property             $ 0       
   3   Total (subtract line 2 from line 1)                                                        $3,000
   4   Recapture percentage from table above                                                        0.60
   5   Multiply line 3 by line 4. This is the amount of repayment required on the 2024 tax return $1,800

  3.  Compute the amount of unused credit carryover available
   1   Total amount of credit computed                                    $5,000
   2   Less:  Amount of credit claimed on tax return                      $3,000
   3   Total (subtract line 2 from line 1)                                $2,000
   4   Enter the inverse of the recapture percentage (1-0.60)             0.40
   5   Multiply line 3 by line 4. This is the available credit carryover  $   800
  4.  Reporting the repayment

   Enter the repayment on line 26 of Form 1. Include a copy or attach a PDF of the federal Form 4255 used to compute the 
   repayment. Write "Wisconsin" at the top.

• Supplement to federal historic rehabilitation credit If you were required to repay to the IRS a portion of the federal historic 
  rehabilitation credit and you claimed the same qualified rehabilitation expenditures for the Wisconsin credit, you must repay to 
  the department a proportionate amount of the Wisconsin credit. 
 
  Note: The amount of the credit recapture percentage figured for federal purposes is used for the Wisconsin credit repayment 
  percentage, unless a different amount of qualified rehabilitation expenditures is used for the Wisconsin credit. If a different 
  amount is used, substitute those amounts on federal Form 4255 to figure the amount of repayment for Wisconsin. Include a 
  copy or attach a PDF of the refigured federal Form 4255 and write "Wisconsin" at the top.

  If you did not claim the federal historic rehabilitation tax credit and only claimed the Wisconsin supplement to federal historic 
  rehabilitation credit, the computation for repayment of the supplement to the federal historic rehabilitation credit is the same as 
  the computation for repayment of the state historic rehabilitation credit shown above.

• Angel investment credit or early stage seed investment credit If an investment for which you claimed the angel invest ment 
  credit or early stage seed investment credit in a prior year was held for less than three years, you must repay the amount of the 
  credit that you received related to the investment. This does not apply if the investment becomes worthless, as determined by 
  WEDC, during the 3‑year period or if you kept the investment for at least 12 months and a bona fide liquidity event, as determined 
  by WEDC, occurs during the 3-year period.

• Low-income housing credit  If the qualified basis of the qualified development is less than the amount of the qualified basis 
  of the last day of the immediately preceding taxable year, you must repay an amount equal to the amount you were required to 
  repay to the IRS for the federal low-income housing credit.

 Penalties for Not Filing Returns or Filing Incorrect Returns
If you do not file an income tax return which you are required to file, or if you file an incorrect return due to negligence 
or fraud, penalties and interest may be assessed against you. The interest rate on delinquent taxes is 18% per year. 
Civil penalties can be as much as 100% of the amount of tax not reported on the return. Criminal penalties for failing 
to file or filing a false return include a fine up to $10,000 and imprisonment.

 Fraudulent or Reckless Credit Claims

homestead credit, or the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit, are subject to filing limitations. If you 
file a “fraudulent claim,” you will not be allowed to take any refundable credit for 10 years. “Fraudulent claim” means 
a claim that is false or excessive and filed with fraudulent intent.  If you file a “reckless claim,” you will not be allowed 
to take any refundable credit for 2 years. “Reckless claim” means a claim that was improper, due to reckless or 
intentional disregard of income tax law or department rules and regulations. You may also have to pay penalties.

 Internal Revenue Service Adjustments
  Did the IRS adjust any of your federal income tax returns? If yes, you may have to notify the Department of Revenue 
of such adjustments. You must notify the department if the adjustments affect your Wisconsin income, any credit, or 
tax payable.

do one of the following:
•  Make estimated tax payments for 2025 in installments beginning April 15, 2025, using Wisconsin Form 1-ES
•  Increase the amount of income tax withheld from your 2025 pay
For example, you may have a tax balance due with your return if you have income from which Wisconsin tax is not 
withheld. If you do not make required installment payments, you may be charged interest.
For more information, contact the department’s Customer Service Bureau at (608) 266-2486 or visit any Department 
of Revenue office. For additional information on making payments, see our Make a Payment webpage.

The farmland preservation credit program provides an income tax credit to Wisconsin residents who own farmland 
in Wisconsin. If you claim homestead credit or the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit, you are not 
eligible for farmland preservation credit. For more information about farmland preservation credit, contact our Farmland 
Preservation Unit in Madison at (608) 266-2442 or visit any department office. See page 11 for information on obtaining 
Schedule FC or FC-A, which you must complete to apply for the credit.

 Death of a Taxpayer
A return for a taxpayer who died in 2024 should be filed on the same form which would have been used if they had 
lived. Include only the taxpayer’s income up to the date of their death.
If there is no estate to probate, a surviving heir may file Form 1 for the person who died. If there is an estate, the 
personal representative for the estate must file the return. The person filing the Form 1 should sign it and indicate 
their relationship to the person who died (for example, “surviving heir” or “personal representative”).
Be sure to fill in the surviving heir’s or personal representative’s mailing address in the address area of Form 1. If the 
taxpayer did not have to file a return but paid estimated tax or had tax withheld, a return must be filed to get a refund.
If your spouse died during 2024 and you did not remarry in 2024, you can file a joint return. You can also file a joint 
return if your spouse died in 2025 before filing a 2024 return. A joint return should show your spouse’s 2024 income 
before death and your income for all of 2024. Write “Filing as surviving spouse” in the area where you sign the return. 
If someone else is the personal representative, they must also sign.
If the return for the decedent is filed as single, head of household, or married filing separate, enter “06” in the Special 
Conditions box and indicate the date of death on the line provided. If a joint return is being filed, enter “06” in the 
box if it is the primary taxpayer (person listed first on the tax form) who is deceased and the date of death. If it is the 
spouse who is deceased, enter “07” in the box and the date of death. If both spouses are deceased, enter “08” in the 
box and both dates of death.
If your spouse died before 2024 and you have not remarried, you must file as single or, if qualified, as head of house-
hold. For more information about the final income tax return to be filed for a deceased person, visit any Department 
of Revenue office or call the department’s Customer Service Bureau at (608) 266-2486.

Claiming a Refund:
If you are filing a return on behalf of a decedent, submit Form 804, Claim for Decedent’s Wisconsin Income Tax Refund, 
with the return and check the box below the special conditions box on page 1 of Form 1. If you did not submit Form 
804 with the return, you were issued a refund, and you are not able to cash the refund check, complete Form 804 and 
mail the completed form and refund check to the address shown on Form 804. Note: If there is an estate, the personal 
representative for the estate must file the return and claim for refund. See Form 804 for more information and required 
documentation.

Before completing Form 1, first fill in your federal return and its supporting attachments. If you are not required to file a federal 
return, list the sources and amounts of your income and deductions on a separate sheet and include it with your Form 1.
Follow these instructions to complete Form 1. Prepare one copy for your records and another to be filed with the department.
 Use black ink to complete the copy of Form 1 that you submit to the department. Do not use pencil or red ink.

Amended Return  If you already filed your original return and this is an amended return, place a check mark where indi-
cated at the top of Form 1.  For more information, see Amending Your Return on page 7 of these instructions. Be sure 
to include a copy of Schedule AR with your amended return.

Period Covered  File your 2024 return for calendar year 2024 and fiscal years that begin in 2024. For a fiscal year, a 52-53 
week period, or a short-period return, fill in the taxable year beginning and ending dates in the taxable year space at the top 
of the form. If your return is for a fiscal year, a 52-53 week period, or a short-period, also enter “11” in the Special Conditions 
box located to the right of the Filing Status section on page 1 of Form 1.

Name and Address  Print or type your legal name and address. Include your apartment number, if any. If you are married 
filing a joint return, fill in your spouse’s legal name (even if your spouse did not have any income). If you filed a joint return 
for 2023 and you are filing a joint return for 2024 with the same spouse, be sure to enter your names and social security 
numbers in the same order as on your 2023 return.
Fill in your PO Box number only if your post office does not deliver mail to your home.

Social Security Number  Fill in your social security number. You must also fill in your spouse’s social security number if 
you are married filing a joint return or married filing a separate return (including married filing as head of household).

Filing Status    Check the appropriate space to indicate your filing status. More than one filing status may apply to you. If 
it does, choose the one that will give you the lowest tax.
  If you became divorced during 2024 or are married and will file a separate return (including a married person filing 
as head of household), you should get Publication 109, Tax Information for Married Persons Filing Separate Returns and 
Persons Divorced in 2024, for information on what income you must report.
Single  You may check “single” if any of the following was true on December 31, 2024:
•  You were never married
•  You were legally separated under a final decree of divorce or separate maintenance. Note:  A decree of separate main-
 tenance in Wisconsin is a judgement of legal separation granted by a judge under sec. 767.35, Wis. Stats.
•  You were widowed before January 1, 2024, and did not remarry in 2024
Married filing joint return  Most married couples will pay less tax if they file a joint return. You may check “married filing 
joint return” if any of the following is true:
•  You were married as of December 31, 2024
•  Your spouse died in 2024 and you did not remarry in 2024
•  You were married at the end of 2024, and your spouse died in 2025 before filing a 2024 return
A married couple may file a joint return even if only one had income or if they did not live together all year. However, both 
spouses must sign the return. If you file a joint return, you may not, after the due date for filing that return, amend it to file 
as married filing separately. A joint return cannot be filed if you and your spouse have different tax years.
If you file a joint return, both you and your spouse are responsible for any tax due on the return. This means that if one 
spouse does not pay the tax due, the other may have to.
Married filing separate return  If you file separate returns, you will usually pay more state tax than if you file a joint return. 
Your tax may be higher on separate returns because:
•  You cannot take the married couple credit
•  If you lived with your spouse at any time in 2024, a greater amount of any unemployment compensation that you received

Rounding Off to Whole Dollars  The form has preprinted zeros in the place used to enter cents. All amounts filled in on 
the form should be rounded to the nearest dollar. Drop amounts under 50¢ and increase amounts from 50¢ to 99¢ to the 
next whole dollar. For example, $129.39 becomes $129 and $236.50 becomes $237.
Round off all amounts. But if you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to fill in on a line, include cents 
when adding and only round off the total. If completing the form by hand, DO NOT USE COMMAS when filling in amounts.

 Line 1 Federal Adjusted Gross Income
Fill in your federal adjusted gross income from line 11 of your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR.

 Line 2 Adjustments to Federal Adjusted Gross Income
If you completed Schedule  ,Ienter the amount from Schedule  , lineI    3. If the amount is a negative number, place a minus 
sign (-) in front of the number. Adjustments may be needed because Wisconsin uses the provisions of federal law amended to 
December 31, 2022, with certain exceptions. Laws enacted after December 31, 2022, may not be used for Wisconsin unless 
adopted by the Legislature. 

A comprehensive list of provisions of federal law that may not be used for Wisconsin for 2024 can be found in the instructions 
for Wisconsin Schedule  .IFollowing is a partial list of the items that may affect the largest number of taxpayers.
•  Bonus depreciation                                        •  Student loan forgiveness
•  Business interest expense deduction limitation            •  Entertainment, amusement, and recreation expenses

If any provision of federal law which does not apply for Wisconsin purposes affects your federal adjusted gross income, 
itemized deductions, or earned income credit, you must complete Wisconsin Schedule   andI   include it with your Form 1. 
The amount you fill in on line 2 of Form 1 should be the revised amount determined on Schedule  , lineI  3. Any revisions to 
your itemized deductions (Part II of Schedule  )Ior earned income credit (Part III of Schedule  ) shouldIbe used to complete 
Schedule 1 on page 4 of Form 1 or line 30 of Form 1, respectively. 

If Schedule I adjustments in any prior year affect income or expense items, depreciation, amortization, or sec. 179 expense  
in 2024, you must also make adjustments on Schedule  I   for 2024.  For example, you had to make an adjustment on Schedule  I
because Wisconsin did not allow bonus depreciation. You must continue to make an adjustment on Schedule   eachI         year 
until the depreciable asset is fully depreciated or you sell or otherwise dispose of the asset.

You may also be required to complete Schedule   ifIyou sold assets during 2024, and the gain or loss from the sale is 
different for Wisconsin and federal purposes due to Schedule   adjustmentsI made in a prior year.        Note: The basis of a 
depreciated or amortized asset owned on December 31, 2013, or on the last day of your tax year beginning in 2013, is the 
same for federal and Wisconsin purposes and no further Schedule   adjustmentI   is required.

 Line 10a
The exemptions allowed for you (and your spouse, if married) on line 10a are equal to:
0 –  If you are single and can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return, or if you are married filing jointly and 
   both you and your spouse can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.
1 – If you are single and cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return, or if you are married filing jointly and 
   either you or your spouse (not both) can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.
2 – If you are married filing jointly and neither you nor your spouse can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.
Additional exemptions are allowed equal to the number of dependents you may claim, which is the number of dependents 
listed on the front of federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Enter an additional exemption for each dependent filled in on federal 
Form 1040 or 1040-SR.

 Line 10b
If you or your spouse were 65 or older on December 31, 2024, check the appropriate lines. Your number of exemptions is 
equal to the number of lines checked.

You may claim the $250 exemption on line 10b for you and/or your spouse only if you and/or your spouse are 65 years of 
age or older and are allowed the $700 exemption on line 10a.

 Line 12    Tax
Use the amount on line 11 to find your tax in the Tax Table on pages 38-43. Find your income-level bracket and read across 
to the column showing your filing status to find your tax. Be sure you use the correct column in the Tax Table for your filing 
status. Fill in your tax on line 12.

EXCEPTION  If line 11 is $100,000 or more, use the Tax Computation Worksheet on page 44 to compute your tax.

 Line 13    Itemized Deduction Credit
If the total of certain federal itemized deductions exceeds your Wisconsin standard deduction, you may be able to claim the 
itemized deduction credit.

Complete Schedule 1 on page 4 of Form 1 to see if you can claim the credit. Schedule 1 lists the specific deductions to use 
from federal Schedule A (Form 1040) (see EXCEPTIONS below).

If you did not itemize deductions for federal tax purposes, use the amounts which would be deductible if you had itemized 
deductions. To determine the amounts to use, complete a federal Schedule A (Form 1040). Write “Wisconsin” at the top of 
this Schedule A and include it with your Form 1.

Caution: If your federal adjusted gross income has been increased or decreased in Part I of Schedule I, itemized deductions 
which are computed using federal adjusted gross income may require adjustment. The deductible amounts of any such items 
used to compute the Wisconsin itemized deduction credit must be determined by using the federal adjusted gross income 
computed on line 3 of Form 1. Complete Part II of Schedule I to figure the amount to enter on Schedule 1 on page 4 of Form 1.

Example: You made charitable contributions in 2024 in the amount of $20,000. Your federal adjusted gross income for federal 
purposes is $20,000. Your charitable contributions reported on line 11 of Schedule A are $12,000 based on an income limita-
tion of 60%. Due to a difference in depreciation allowed for federal and Wisconsin purposes, an adjustment to your federal 
adjusted gross income is required. The amount of federal adjusted gross income for Wisconsin purposes, as reported on line 
3 of Form 1, is $30,000. The amount of charitable contributions allowed as an itemized deduction for Wisconsin purposes is 
$18,000 ($30,000 x 60% = $18,000). Enter $18,000 on line 3 of Schedule 1.

EXCEPTIONS    Even though Schedule 1 has entry lines for medical expenses, interest paid, and gifts to charity, not all of 
the amounts of these items that are deducted on federal Schedule A (Form 1040) can be used for the itemized deduction 
credit. The following describes the portion of these items that may not be used to compute the itemized deduction credit.

•  Amounts allocated to you on Schedule 5K-1 or 3K-1 by a tax-option (S) corporation or partnership if the entity elected to 
 be taxed at the entity level.
•  Medical expenses – the amount of medical care insurance and long-term care insurance claimed as a subtraction on 
 Schedule SB, lines 6 and 7. If this applies to you, complete the worksheet on the next page to figure the amount which 
 you are allowed, if any, for purposes of the itemized deduction credit.
 Note: Any reference in the worksheet to an amount from or on federal Schedule A is after accounting for any changes 
 reported on Schedule  Ifor differences in the adopted IRC.
•  Interest  –  Paid to purchase a second home located outside Wisconsin
         –  Paid to purchase a residence which is a boat
         –  Paid to purchase or hold U.S. government securities
•  Contributions and interest allocated to you by a tax-option (S) corporation if you treated the amount as a subtraction on 
 Schedule SB, line 42.

   You are not required to send in any documentation of your qualifying expenses with your return; however, 
including copies of any payment statements received from a care provider or other documentation with your 
Wisconsin return may speed up the processing of your return if it is selected for review.

of expenses) per qualifying person.

Blind: You are considered blind if you meet the definition in sec. 63(f)(4), IRC, to claim the increased federal 
standard deduction for being blind. See the federal Form 1040 instructions for more information.

Qualifying transportation services: Any transportation services provided between a person's home (place of 
residence) and a place of employment by means of mass transit, paratransit, taxicab, or transportation network 
company, as defined in sec. 440.40(6), Wis. Stats.

Caution: Amounts paid for qualifying transportation services that are reimbursed to you, or that are paid using 
funds from an ABLE account (sec. 529A, IRC) with the contribution having been subtracted from income under 
sec. 71.05(6)(b)52., Wis. Stats., do not qualify and may not be used to compute the credit.

Line 15  Blind Worker Transportation Services Credit – continued
Step 1  Fill in the amount you paid for qualifying transportation services during 2024 on the line provided next to "Qualifying 
        expenses". Do not enter more than $3,000 of expenses paid per qualifying person.

Step 2  Multiply the amount of your qualifying expenses (Step 1) by 50%. Fill in the result on line 15. This is your blind worker 
        transportation services credit.

 Line 16   Renter’s and Homeowner’s School Property Tax Credit
You may claim a credit if you paid rent during 2024 for living quarters used as your primary residence OR you paid property 
taxes during 2024 on your home. You are eligible for a credit whether or not you claim homestead credit on line 33.

You may    not claim the school property tax credit if you or your spouse are claiming the veterans and surviving spouses 
property tax credit.

Special Cases
If You Paid Both Property Taxes and Rent You may claim both the renter’s credit and the homeowner’s credit. The total 
combined credit claimed on lines 16a and 16b may not be more than $300 ($150 if married filing a separate return or married 
filing as head of household).
Married Persons Filing a Joint Return Figure your credit by using the rent and property taxes paid by both spouses.
Married Persons Filing Separate Returns or Married Persons Filing as Head of Household Each spouse may claim 
a credit. Each of you may use only your own property taxes and rent to figure the credit. The maximum credit allowable to 
each spouse is $150.
Persons Who Jointly Own a Home or Share Rented Living Quarters When two or more persons (other than a married 
couple) jointly own a home or share rented living quarters, each may claim a credit. However, the property taxes and rent 
paid must be divided among the owners or occupants. See the instructions for lines 16a and 16b.

 Line 16a  How to Figure the Renter’s School Property Tax Credit
Step 1  Rent Paid in 2024 Fill in on the appropriate line(s) the total rent that you paid in 2024 for living quarters (1) where 
the heat was included in the rent, and (2) where the heat was not included in the rent. These living quarters must have 
been used as your principal home. Do not include rent that you may claim as a business expense. Do not include rent paid 
for housing that is exempt from property taxes, for example, rent for a university dorm, nonprofit senior housing, or public 
housing.   Note:  Property owned by a public housing authority is considered tax-exempt unless that authority makes pay-
ments in place of property taxes to the city or town in which it is located. If you live in public housing, you may wish to ask 
your manager about this.

If the rent you paid included food, housekeeping, medical, or other services, reduce the amount filled in for rent paid in 2024 
by the value of these items. If you shared living quarters with one or more persons (other than your spouse or dependents), 
fill in only the portion of the rent which you paid in 2024. For example, if you and two other persons rented an apartment and 
paid total rent of $6,000 in 2024, and you each paid $2,000 of the rent, each could claim a credit based on $2,000 of rent.

Step 2  Refer to the Renter’s School Property Tax Credit Table below to figure your credit. If heat was included in your rent, 
use Column 1 of the table. If heat was not included, use Column 2. Fill in your credit on line 16a.

Exception  If you paid both rent where heat was included and rent where heat was not included, complete the worksheet 
below.

 Line 16b  How to Figure the Homeowner’s School Property Tax Credit
Step 1  Property Taxes Paid on Home in 2024  Fill in the amount of property taxes that you paid in 2024 on your home. 
Do not include:
•  Charges for special assessments, delinquent interest, or services that may be included on your tax bill (such as trash 
  removal, recycling fee, or a water bill)
•  Property taxes that you can claim as a business expense (for example, farm taxes or rental property taxes)
•  Property taxes paid on property that is not your primary residence (such as a cottage or vacant land)
•  Property taxes that you paid in any year other than 2024
Note: The date the property taxes are paid is the date the property taxes are received by the municipality.

Property taxes are further limited as follows:
a.  If you bought or sold your home during 2024, the property taxes of the seller and buyer are the taxes set forth for each 
    in the closing agreement made at the sale or purchase. If the closing agreement does not divide the property taxes 
    between the seller and buyer, divide them on the basis of the number of months each owned the home.

                                                     Line Instructions                                                              20
Line 16b  How to Figure the Homeowner's School Property Tax Credit – continued
b.  If you owned a mobile home during 2024, property taxes include the municipal permit fees paid to your municipality and/
    or the property taxes paid on your mobile home. (Payments for space rental for parking a mobile home or manufactured 
    home should be filled in as rent on line 16a.)

c.  If you, or you and your spouse, owned a home jointly with one or more other persons, you may only use that portion of the 
    property taxes that reflects your percentage of ownership. For example, if you and another person (other than your spouse) 
    jointly owned a home on which taxes of $1,500 were paid, each of you would claim a credit based on $750 of taxes.

CAUTION     Property taxes paid during 2024 must be reduced by any amount received as a refund of such taxes. For 
example, a taxpayer claimed farmland preservation credit on Schedule FC (which is considered a refund of property taxes) 
on their 2023 Wisconsin return. The taxpayer received a farmland preservation credit in 2024 of $600 that was based on 
2023 property taxes accrued of $6,000. The 2023 property taxes were paid in 2024 and 10% of such taxes were allocable 
to the personal residence and 90% to the farm property. Thus, for tax purposes, property taxes paid on the entire property 
during 2024 are $5,400 ($6,000 less $600 farmland preservation credit). Of this amount, $540 (10% of $5,400) is used to 
compute the 2024 school property tax credit.

Step 2  Use the Homeowner’s School Property Tax Credit Table below to figure your credit. Fill in the amount of your credit 
on line 16b.

CAUTION     If you are also claiming the renter’s credit on line 16a, the total of your renter’s and homeowner’s credits can’t 
be more than $300 ($150 if married filing a separate return or married filing as head of household).

 Line 17    Working Families Tax Credit
Do not enter any amount on this line. It is not possible for any individual or couple filing this form to qualify for the credit.

 Line 18       Married Couple Credit
You can claim the married couple credit if all of the following apply:
•  You are married filing a joint return
•  Both you and your spouse have qualified earned income

21                                              Line Instructions
Line 18  Married Couple Credit – continued
•  You do not file federal Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ to claim an exclusion of foreign earned income or Form 4563 to claim 
  an exclusion of income from sources in U.S. possessions

To figure the credit, complete Schedule 2 on page 4 of Form 1. Figure earned income separately for yourself and your 
spouse on lines 1 through 3 in Columns (A) and (B) of Schedule 2.

“Earned income” includes taxable wages, salaries, tips, scholarships or fellowships (only amounts reported on a Form W-2),  
other employee compensation, disability income treated as wages, and net earnings from self-employment.

Example You are a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty. You claimed a subtraction on line 18 of Schedule SB 
for the amount of military pay you received for active duty. Because this military pay is not taxable to Wisconsin, it cannot 
be used when computing the married couple credit.

“Earned income” does not include other income such as interest, dividends, IRA distributions, deferred compensation (even 
though it may be reported on a W-2), unemployment compensation, rental income, social security, pensions, annuities, or 
income that is not taxable to Wisconsin. Do not consider marital property law, marital property agreements, or unilateral 
statements in figuring each spouse’s earned income.

The credit is based on qualified earned income. You must figure qualified earned income separately for yourself and your 
spouse. Figure it on lines 4 and 5 of Schedule 2 by subtracting the total of certain adjustments from earned income. These 
adjustments (as reported as an adjustment to income on federal Schedule 1 (Form 1040)) are:
•  IRA deduction (line 20 of federal Schedule 1)
•  Self-employed SEP, SIMPLE, and qualified plans (line 16 of federal Schedule 1)
•  Repayment of supplemental unemployment benefits (line 24e of federal Schedule 1)
•  Certain business expenses of reservists, performing artists, and fee-basis government officials (line 12 of federal Schedule 1)
•  Contributions to secs. 501(c)(18)(D) and 403(b) pension plans (lines 24f and 24g of federal Schedule 1)
•  Disability income exclusion (from line 22 of Wisconsin Schedule SB)

Line 20  Credit for Net Tax Paid to Another State – continued
CAUTION Credit cannot be claimed for taxes paid to Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, or Michigan on earned income (such as 
wages, salaries, tips, commissions, bonuses, etc.) you received from working in one of those states. Instead, file a return 
with that state to get a refund of any tax withheld from your wages. Be sure to explain on that state’s return that you were a 
Wisconsin resident when earning the wages in that state. See Publication 121, Reciprocity, for more information.

 Line 23 Sales and Use Tax Due on Internet, Mail Order, or Other Out-of-State Purchases
Did you make any taxable purchases from out-of-state firms in 2024 on which sales and use tax was not charged? If yes, 
you must report Wisconsin sales and use tax on these purchases on line 23 if they were stored, used, or consumed in 
Wisconsin. You must also report sales and use tax on taxable purchases from a retailer located in another country, regardless 
of whether you were charged any tax for that country or any duty by the U.S. Customs Service.

Taxable purchases include furniture, carpet, clothing, computers, books, CDs, DVDs, video tapes, certain digital goods 
(e.g., greeting cards, video games, music, and books, transferred electronically), artwork, antiques, jewelry, most coins 
purchased for more than face value, etc.

Example  You purchased $300 of clothing through a catalog or over the internet. No sales and use tax was charged. The 
clothing was delivered in a county with a 5% tax rate. You are liable for $15 Wisconsin tax ($300 x 5% = $15) on this purchase.

Complete the worksheet that follows to determine the amount of Wisconsin sales and use tax you are liable for on any 
untaxed purchases.

   If you do not include an amount on line 23, place a checkmark in the space provided to certify that you do not owe any 
sales or use tax. Only returns certified as “no use tax due” will be recognized as filing a sales/use tax return.

tax or excluded from Wisconsin income. See the instructions for lines 13, 14, and 16 of Schedule SB for information on 
retirement payments that are exempt from Wisconsin tax or excluded from Wisconsin income and to which the penalty does 
not apply.

If you were required to file federal Form 5329 or 5330, include a copy of your Form 5329 and/or 5330 with your Form 1.

 Line 26  Other Penalties
If you are subject to a penalty for selling business or farming assets purchased from a related person or inconsistent estate 
basis reporting, or repayment of the state historic rehabilitation credit, angel investment credit, early stage seed investment 
credit, supplement to federal historic rehabilitation credit, or low-income housing credit, fill in the amount of the penalty or 
repayment on line 26. See page 7 for more information on repayment of the credits. See below for further information on 
the penalties. 
• Penalty for selling business assets (or assets used in farming) purchased from a related person Capital gain on the 
  sale or disposition of business or farming assets may be excluded from Wisconsin taxation if the assets were held more 
  than one year and are disposed of to certain related persons. The related person who purchases or otherwise receives 
  the assets on which the gain is excluded is subject to a penalty if they sell or dispose of the assets within two years. The 
  penalty does not apply in the case of an involuntary conversion (for example, assets are destroyed by fire or livestock 
  dies). Visit any Department of Revenue office or contact the department’s Customer Service Bureau at (608) 266-2486 
  for information on how to compute the penalty. 
• Penalty for underpayment of taxes due to inconsistent estate basis reporting An inconsistent estate basis reporting 
  occurs if the property basis claimed on a Wisconsin tax return exceeds the property basis determined for federal estate 
  tax purposes. The penalty is equal to 20% of the portion of any underpayment of taxes due to the inconsistent estate 
  basis reporting.  

 Line 28  Wisconsin Tax Withheld
Add the Wisconsin income tax withheld shown on your withholding statements (Forms W‑2, W‑2G, 1099‑R, 1099‑MISC, 
and 1099‑NEC). Also, if any Wisconsin pass‑through entity withholding tax was allocated to you from a tiered pass‑through 
entity of which you are a member, you may include that withholding. Fill in the total on line 28. Include readable copies of 
your withholding statements with Form 1. (See Assembling Your Return on page 5)

 Wisconsin tax withheld is shown in Box 17 of Form W‑2 or Box 14 of Form 1099‑R, but only if Wisconsin is the state 
identified in Box 15 of Form W‑2 or Box 15 of Form 1099‑R.

DO NOT:
•  Claim credit for tax withheld for other states
•  Claim amounts marked social security or Medicare tax withheld
•  Claim credit for federal tax withheld
•  Include withholding statements from other tax years
•  Write on, change, or attempt to correct the amounts on your withholding statements
•  Claim Wisconsin withholding from a tax-option (S) corporation or partnership, if an election was made to be taxed at the 
  entity level and a refund of the pass-through withholding or a written request to apply the pass-through withholding against 
  the tax liability at the entity level was made by the entity.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your employer or other payer has provided withholding statements that:
1.  Are clear and easy to read
2.  Show withholding was paid to Wisconsin

If you do not have a withholding statement or need a corrected withholding statement, contact your employer or other payer.

to your 2024 Wisconsin estimated tax.

 Check Your Estimated Tax Payments Before filling in line 29, check the amount of your estimated tax payments on 
the department's website at revenue.wi.gov/Pages/apps/taxpaymentinquiry.aspx. Processing of your return will be delayed 
if there is a difference between the amount of estimated tax payments you claim and the amount the department has on 
record.

If you are married filing a joint return, fill in the total of all of the following:
•  Any separate estimated tax payments made by each spouse
•  Any joint estimated tax payments

 tax.
If you are filing a separate tax return, you may not claim any part of your spouse's separate estimated tax payments or 
credits. However, you and your spouse may split your joint estimated tax payments and credits between you as you choose 
on your separate returns. If you cannot agree on how joint amounts are to be split between you, the department will split 
them between you according to your respective income tax liabilities.

Follow the above instructions even if your spouse died during 2024.

Name Change  If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce, etc., and made estimated tax payments using your 
former name, include a statement with Form 1. On the statement, explain all the payments you and your spouse made for 
2024 and the name(s) and social security number(s) under which you made them.

 Line 32 Repayment Credit
If you had to repay during 2024, an amount that you had included in income in an earlier year because at that time you 
thought you had an unrestricted right to it, you may be able to claim a credit based on the amount repaid. To qualify for the 
credit, the amount repaid must be over $3,000 and the amount repaid cannot have been subtracted in computing Wisconsin 
adjusted gross income.

Use the following steps to compute your credit:
(1)  Refigure your tax from the earlier year without including in income the amount you repaid in 2024.
(2)  Subtract the tax in (1) from the tax shown on your return for the earlier year. The difference is your credit.

Fill in the amount of your credit on line 32 of Form 1. Include a statement showing how you computed your credit.

 Line 33 Homestead Credit
If you are claiming homestead credit, attach Schedule H or H‑EZ to your Form 1. Fill in on line 33 the amount from line 19

  2.  Was a resident of Wisconsin at the time of their death and had either a service-connected disability rating of 100% 
 under 38 USC 1114 or 1134 or a 100% disability rating based on individual unemployability
  3.  In the case of an individual who served in the National Guard or a reserve component, while a resident of Wisconsin 
 died in the line of duty while on active or inactive duty for training
  4.  Was a resident of Wisconsin at the time of their death and following the individual’s death, their spouse began to 
 receive, and continues to receive, dependency and indemnity compensation, as defined in 38 USC 101(14)

The unremarried surviving spouse must be certified by the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs.

the following conditions:
•  Served on active duty under honorable conditions in the U.S. Armed Forces or in forces incorporated in the U.S. Armed

Computing the Credit The credit is equal to the property taxes paid by the claimant during the year on the claimant’s prin-
cipal dwelling in Wisconsin. The credit is based on property taxes, exclusive of special assessments, delinquent interest, 
and charges for service. Do not include any property taxes that are properly includable as a trade or business expense.

Note: The date the property taxes are paid is the date the property taxes are received by the municipality.

Example:  Taxpayer received a property tax bill on the house they owned in the amount of $3,000 for the 2024 tax year 
on December 22, 2024. Taxpayer did not pay any of their 2023 property tax bill in 2024. Taxpayer paid their 2024 property 
tax bill in 2 installments:
•  $1,500 on December 28, 2024
•  $1,500 on April 11, 2025
The amount allowed for purposes of computing the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit for 2024 is $1,500, 
which is the amount they paid on December 28, 2024. The remaining amount paid on April 11, 2025, of $1,500 may be 
claimed on the 2025 Wisconsin income tax return if the taxpayer is still eligible for the credit.
“Principal dwelling” means any dwelling and the land surrounding it that is reasonably necessary for use of the dwelling as 
a primary dwelling, but not more than one acre. It may include a part of a multidwelling or multipurpose building and a part

   If your property contains structures in addition to the primary dwelling, provide a copy of the assessor's report with the 
return.

If the principal dwelling on which the taxes were paid is owned by two or more persons or entities as joint tenants or tenants 
in common, use only that part of property taxes paid that reflects the ownership percentage of the claimant.
Exceptions
•  Married filing a joint return  If property is owned by an eligible veteran and spouse as joint tenants, tenants in common, 
 or as marital property, the credit is based on 100% of property taxes paid on the principal dwelling (subject to the 1-acre 
 limitation).
•  Married filing a separate return  If property is owned by an eligible veteran and spouse as joint tenants, tenants in common, 
 or as marital property, each spouse may claim the credit based on their respective ownership interest in the eligible 
 veteran’s principal dwelling (subject to the 1-acre limitation).

If the principal dwelling is sold during the taxable year, the property taxes for the seller and buyer shall be the amount of 
the tax prorated to each in the closing agreement pertaining to the sale. If not provided for in the closing agreement, the tax 
shall be prorated between the seller and buyer in proportion to months of ownership.

If you owned and lived in a mobile home as your principal dwelling, “property taxes” include monthly mobile home municipal 
permit fees you paid to the municipality. If you paid the fee directly to the landowner, or community licensee, include proof 
of payment by the landowner or community licensee to the municipality.

If you did not own your principal dwelling but were required to pay the property taxes as rent, you may claim the credit based 
on the property taxes paid during the year if all of the following are met:
•  The rental unit must be the principal dwelling of the eligible veteran or surviving spouse
•  The principal dwelling must be located in Wisconsin
•  The eligible veteran or surviving spouse is required to pay the property taxes under the rental agreement or other written 
  agreement entered into with the landlord

income tax return.

The credit must be claimed within 4 years of the unextended due date of the return. However, you may request an extension 
of time to file a return to claim the tax credit if the deadline for claiming the credit is approaching and WDVA is reviewing your 
eligibility for that year. See Fact Sheet 1122, Veterans and Surviving Spouses Property Tax Credit Verification of Eligibility – 
Extension of Time to Claim Credit, for additional information.

 Line 36 Amounts Previously Paid

Amended return only – Complete this line only if this is an amended 2024 Form 1. Fill in the amount of tax you paid with 
your original Form 1 plus any additional amounts paid after it was filed.

If you did not pay the full amount shown on your original Form 1, fill in only the portion that you actually paid. Also, include 
any additional tax that may have resulted if your original return was changed or audited. This includes additional tax paid 
with a previously filed 2024 amended return and additional tax paid as a result of a department adjustment to your return. 
Do not include payments of interest or penalties.
 Line 38 Amounts Previously Refunded
Amended return only – Complete this line only if this is an amended 2024 Form 1. Fill in the refund from your original 2024 
return (not including the amount applied to your 2025 estimated tax). This is generally the amount from line 41 of Form 1.

what is called “underpayment interest.” You may owe underpayment interest even if you are due a refund. Read the line 44 
instructions to see if you owe underpayment interest. If you owe underpayment interest and you show an overpayment on 
line 40, reduce the amount on line 40 by the amount of underpayment interest on line 44.

 Line 41 Refund
Fill in on line 41 the amount from line 40 that you want refunded to you. The department may not issue a refund before March 
1 unless both the individual and the individual’s employer have filed all required returns and forms with the department for 
the taxable year for which the refund was claimed.
Note:  If you are divorced, see item 7 on page 6. You may need to include a copy of your divorce decree with your return.
The amount on line 41 cannot be more than the amount on line 40 less the amount applied to your estimated tax on line 42.

Note:  If appropriate, we will figure interest and include it in your refund check. Interest is at a rate of 3% per year from the 
due date of your 2024 return. However, interest is not allowed on (1) a refund issued within 90 days of the due date of the 
return or within 90 days of the date an original return was filed, whichever is later, (2) a refund due from the homestead 
credit, enterprise zone jobs credit, business development credit, and electronics and information technology manufacturing 
zone credit, or (3) any portion of the refund that is applied to 2025 estimated tax.

 Line 42 Amount Applied to 2025 Estimated Tax
Fill in on line 42 the amount, if any, of the overpayment on line 40 you want applied to your 2025 estimated tax.
If you are married filing a joint return, we will apply the amount on line 42 to your joint estimated tax. If you are married filing 
a separate return, we will apply the amount on line 42 to your separate estimated tax.

Line 42 Amount Applied to 2025 Estimated Tax – continued

Amended return only – Generally, the amount filled in on line 42 must be the same as the amount shown on line 42 of 
your original Form 1 (or as adjusted by the department). However, if you file your amended return by January 15, 2026, you 
may increase or decrease the amount to be applied to your 2025 estimated tax.

 Line 43   Amount You Underpaid
If line 39 is less than line 27, complete line 43 to determine the amount you underpaid.

 Interest on any tax due is 12% per year from the due date of your 2024 return. If you owe any interest, figure the interest 
on the amount of tax you underpaid. Enter the amount of interest on line 46. Do not include the amount of interest in the 
total on either line 43 or 45.
 
Amended return only – If the total of the amount on line 27 and line 42 is greater than line 39, you owe additional tax. 
Subtract line 39 from the total of lines 27 and 42.  CAUTION If line 39 is a negative number because line 38 exceeds line 37, 
treat the amount on line 39 as a positive number and add (rather than subtract) line 39 to lines 27 and 42.

   If the amount you underpaid with your return is $500 or more or you made late estimated tax payments, you may also 
owe what is called “underpayment interest.” This is an interest charge that applies when you have not prepaid enough of 
your tax through withholding and/or estimated tax payments. Read the line 44 instructions to see if you owe underpayment 
interest. 

If you owe an amount with your return, you can pay online or by check, money order, or credit card. Do not include any 
2025 estimated tax payments in your check, money order, or amount you charge. Instead, make the estimated tax payments 
separately.

To pay by direct debit  Go to the department’s website at https://tap.revenue.wi.gov/pay.  This is a free service.

To pay by check or money order Make your check or money order payable to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. If 
the name of the taxpayer does not match the printed name on the check, print the taxpayer’s name on the memo line of the 
check. Paper clip it to the front of your Form 1.

If you e-filed your return and are paying by check or money order, include your payment with Form PV. Mail Form PV and 
your payment to the address shown on Form PV. You can get this form by using our electronic payment interactive voucher 
on our website.

Other payment methods  You may also pay by credit card (MasterCard®, American Express®, Visa®, or Discover®), 
Apple Pay, or PayPal. To pay using one of these methods, go to the department's website at    https://tap.revenue.wi.gov/
pay. You will be redirected to the department's third-party processor at the appropriate step. A $1 transaction fee plus a 
processing fee of 2.25% will be charged by the service provider based on the amount you are paying. You will be told what 
the fee is during the transaction and you will have the option to either continue or cancel the transaction. For the most up 
to date information, see the department's webpage for Credit Card and Other Payment Options.

What if you cannot pay?  If you cannot pay the full amount shown as due on your tax return when you file, you may ask to 
make installment payments to the Department of Revenue. It is generally to your advantage to pay your liability in full rather than 
in installments. Installment agreements with the department are subject to a $20 installment agreement fee. In addition, bills 
not paid in full by the due date become liable for additional interest of 18% per year and a delinquent tax collection fee of the 
greater of $35 or 6.5% of the unpaid amount. For more information concerning payments, go to  www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/
OnlineServices/Pay.aspx. To obtain the Payment Plan Request (Form A-771), go to  revenue.wi.gov/DORForms/a-771.pdf. 
To file an installment agreement request electronically, go to revenue.wi.gov/Pages/HTML/payplan.aspx.

Note:  Failure to pay your Wisconsin income tax may result in certification of your unpaid liability to the Treasury Offset 
Program. Federal law authorizes the U.S. Department of Treasury to reduce, or offset, any federal income tax refunds payable 
to you by the IRS to satisfy unpaid state income tax debts. Any unpaid liability will remain eligible for this offset until paid.

 Line 44   Underpayment Interest
You may owe underpayment interest if the amount of Wisconsin income tax withheld from your wages was less than your 
tax liability, or if you had income that was not subject to withholding and you did not make timely estimated payments. In 
general, in each quarter of the year, you should be paying enough tax through withholding payments and quarterly estimated 

33                                           Line Instructions
Line 44  Underpayment Interest – continued
tax payments to cover the taxes you expect to owe for the tax year. For more information on making estimated tax payments, 
see Estimated Tax Payments Required for Next Year on page 9.

You owe underpayment interest if one of the following applies:

•  Line 43 is at least $500 and it is more than 10% of the tax shown on your return.
•  You did not pay enough estimated tax by any of the due dates. This is true even if you are due a refund.

The “tax shown on your return” is the amount on line 22 minus the amounts on lines 30 through 35.

Exceptions  You will not owe underpayment interest if your 2023 tax return was for a tax year of 12 full months (or would 
have been had you been required to file) AND either of the following applies.

1.  You had no tax liability for 2023 and you were a Wisconsin resident for all of 2023.
2.  The amounts on lines 28 and 29 of your 2024 return are at least as much as the tax shown on your 2023 return. Your 
   estimated tax payments for 2024 must have been made on time and for the required amount. This does not apply if you 
   did not file a 2023 return.

The tax shown on your 2023 return is the amount on line 21 minus the amounts on lines 29 through 34.

   Fill in the exception code in the brackets to the left of line 44 if you are enclosing an application for a waiver, qualify for 
an exception, or are using the annualized income installment method to compute underpayment interest. See Schedule U, 
Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals and Fiduciaries, and its instructions for further information on the exception 
codes.

Example  Farmers and fishers are not subject to underpayment interest if two-thirds of their total gross income (gross 
income of both spouses if married filing a joint return) is from farming or fishing and they file their return and pay any tax 
due by March 3, 2025. Qualified farmers and fishers must enter exception code “04” in the brackets to the left of line 44. 
Failure to fill in the exception code may result in an assessment for underpayment interest.

Figuring Underpayment Interest
If the Exceptions above do not apply, see Schedule U to find out if you owe underpayment interest. If you do, you can use 
the schedule to figure the amount. In certain situations, you may be able to lower your underpayment interest. For details, 
see the instructions for Schedule U. Fill in the underpayment interest from Schedule U on line 44. If you are due a refund, 
subtract the underpayment interest from the overpayment you show on line 40 and adjust lines 41 and 42 if necessary. Include 
Schedule U with your Form 1.

Amended return only   – If you were subject to underpayment interest on your original return and you are now changing 
the amount of such interest, include a corrected Schedule U with Form 1. Fill in the appropriate exception code in the 
brackets on line 44 only if you are enclosing an application for a waiver, qualify for an exception, or are using the annualized 
income installment method (Part IV of Schedule U) to compute underpayment interest. See Schedule U instructions for the 
exception codes.  Figure the difference between the amount of underpayment interest as reported on your original return (or 
as assessed by the department) and the amount of underpayment interest shown on your corrected Schedule U. Fill in the 
difference on line 44. If the amount of underpayment interest is reduced, put a minus sign (−) in front of the amount on line 44.

If line 40 of Form 1 shows an overpayment and you are reducing the amount of underpayment interest, add the amount on 
line 44 to the amount on line 40 of Form 1. Adjust lines 41 and 42 accordingly.

If line 43 of Form 1 shows an underpayment and you are reducing the amount of underpayment interest, add the amount on 
line 44 to the amount on line 43 of Form 1. If the sum of lines 43 and 44 is greater than zero, enter the net amount on line 45. 
If the sum of lines 43 and 44 is less than zero, enter the net amount on line 40 as a positive number and complete lines 41 
and 42 accordingly. Note:  You may still owe interest (line 46) on the amount of tax you underpaid even if the sum of lines 43 
and 44 is zero or an overpayment.

 Line 46  Interest
Interest on the amount you underpaid is 12% per year from the due date of your 2024 return. Figure the interest on the 
additional tax you owe. Enter the amount of interest on line 46. Do not include this interest in the total on line 43 or 45.

                                                Line Instructions                                                    34

■  Third Party Designee  If you want to allow a tax preparer or tax preparation firm, family member, friend, or any other 
person you choose to discuss your 2024 tax return with the Department of Revenue, check “Yes” in the “Third Party 
Designee” area of your return. Also, fill in the designee’s name, phone number, and any five digits the designee chooses as 
their personal identification number (PIN).

If you check “Yes,” you (and your spouse if filing a joint return) are authorizing the department to discuss with the designee any 
questions that may arise during the processing of your return. You are also authorizing the designee to do all of the following:

•  Give the department any information missing from your return
•  Call the department for information about the processing of your return or the status of your refund or payment(s)
•  Respond to certain department notices about math errors, offsets, and return preparation

You are not authorizing the designee to receive any refund check, bind you to anything (including any additional tax liability), 
or otherwise represent you before the department. If you want to expand the designee’s authorization, you must submit 
Form A-222, Power of Attorney.

The authorization will automatically end no later than the due date (without regard to extensions) for filing your 2025 tax 
return. This is April 15, 2026, for most people.

■  Sign and Date Your Return  Sign and date your return at the bottom of page 3. Form 1 is not considered a valid return 
unless you sign it. Your spouse must also sign if it is a joint return. Also fill in your daytime phone number.  Keep a copy of 
your dated return.

■  Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN  If you received a Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN from the Department of Revenue, 
enter it in the Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN spaces provided to the right of your signature. You must correctly enter all 
seven characters of your Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN. If you didn't receive a Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN, leave 
these spaces blank. Caution:  This Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN is different from any Identity Protection PIN you may 
have received from the IRS.

If you are filing a joint return and both taxpayers receive a Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN, enter both Wisconsin Identity 
Protection PINs in the spaces provided. For more information, see our Wisconsin Identity Protection PIN common questions 
at revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/IP-PIN.aspx.
