Gross Receipts from Services Provided to Regulated Investment Companies – For the Wisconsin column, enter gross receipts and net gain described above from services provided to or on behalf of a regulated investment company, as defined in section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The regulated investment company is considered the purchaser or consumer of the services. At the taxpayer's option, the portion of the gross receipts received from a regulated investment company from the sale of administration, distribution, or management services is included in the numerator of the receipts factor as described below. A taxpayer that makes this election must use this method to determine the receipts included in the numerator of the receipts factor from each regulated investment company for or on behalf of which it performs services and must compute the receipts from each regulated investment company separately. For purposes of this paragraph: • “Administration services" include clerical, accounting, participant record keeping, transfer agency, bookkeeping, data processing, custodial, internal auditing, legal, and tax services provided for a regulated investment company but only if the provider of the services also provides, or is affiliated with a person that provides, distribution or management services to the regulated investment company. • “Distribution services" include advertising, servicing investor accounts, marketing, or selling shares of the regulated investment company. In the case of advertising, servicing, or marketing shares, the services are performed by a person that is or, in the case of a closed end company, was either engaged in the service of selling the shares or affiliated with a person that is engaged in the service of selling the shares. In the case of an open end company, the service of selling shares is performed pursuant to a contract entered into under 15 USC 80a-15(b). • “Management services" include rendering investment advice directly or indirectly to a regulated investment company, determining when sales and purchases of securities are to be made on behalf of the regulated investment company, selling or purchasing securities constituting assets of a regulated investment company, and related activities, but only if the activities are performed pursuant to a contract with the regulated investment company entered into under 15 USC 80a-15(a), for a person that has entered into the contract with the regulated investment company or for a person that is affiliated with a person that has entered into the contract with a regulated investment company. • A person is affiliated with another person if each person is a member of the same affiliated group, as defined under section 1504 of the IRC without regard to sub. (b) of section 1504. • Receipts received from a regulated investment company include amounts received directly or indirectly from the regulated investment company and amounts received from shareholders in the regulated investment company. The Wisconsin column includes the sum of receipts determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the sale of administration, distribution, and management services provided to or on behalf of each separate regulated investment company by a fraction, computed as follows: • The numerator of the fraction is the sum of the monthly percentages determined for each month of the regulated investment company's taxable year for federal income tax purposes, which taxable years ends within or at the same time as the taxpayer's taxable year but excluding any month during which the regulated investment company had no outstanding shares. The monthly percentage for each month is determined by dividing the number of shares in the regulated investment company that are owned on the last day of the month by shareholders whose domicile or commercial domicile is in Wisconsin by the total number of shares in the regulated investment company outstanding on that date. • The denominator of the fraction is the number of monthly percentages.

For the Total Company column, enter gross receipts from services not described above received everywhere. Line 25. Gross Receipts from the Sale, Lease, Rental or License of Real Property – For the Wisconsin column, enter gross receipts from the lease, rental, or licensing of real property owned by the taxpayer if the real property is located in Wisconsin and gross receipts from the sublease of real property if the real property is located in Wisconsin.

If the property is used in and outside Wisconsin during the period of lease, rental, licensing, or sublease, gross receipts are included in the numerator of the receipts factor to the extent that the property is used in Wisconsin. The proportion of use in Wisconsin is determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the lease, rental, licensing, sublease, or other use of the property by a fraction having as a numerator the number of days the property is in Wisconsin while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year and having as a denominator the total number of days that the property is leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in all states having jurisdiction to impose an income tax or franchise tax measured by net income on the taxpayer in the taxable year. Gross receipts from the lease, rental, or licensing of moving property, including motor vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment, owned by the taxpayer and the sublease of moving property are included in the numerator of the receipts factor to the extent that the property is used in Wisconsin.

Enlarge image | 2024 Schedule A-02 Instructions • The proportion of use of a motor vehicle or rolling stock in Wisconsin is determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the lease, rental, licensing, or sublease of the motor vehicle or rolling stock by a fraction having as a numerator the number of miles traveled within Wisconsin by the motor vehicle or rolling stock while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year and having as a denominator the total number of miles traveled by the motor vehicle or rolling stock while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year. • The proportion of use of an aircraft in Wisconsin is determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the lease, rental, licensing, or sublease of the aircraft by a fraction having as a numerator the number of takeoffs and landings of the aircraft in Wisconsin while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year and having as a denominator the total number of takeoffs and landings of the aircraft while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year. • The proportion of use of a vessel or mobile equipment in Wisconsin is determined by multiplying the gross receipts from the lease, rental, licensing, or sublease of the vessel or mobile equipment by a fraction having as a numerator the number of days that the vessel or mobile equipment is Wisconsin while leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year and having as a denominator the total number of days that the vessel or mobile equipment is leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year. • If the taxpayer is unable to determine the use of moving property under subd.2. a., b., or whilec. the property is leased, rented, licensed, or subleased in the taxable year, the moving property is conclusively deemed to be used in Wisconsin in which the property is located at the time that the lessee, renter, licensee, or sublessee takes possession of the property. Line 27. Gross Receipts from Computer Software – For the Wisconsin column, enter gross receipts from the use of computer software if the purchaser or licensee uses the computer software at a location in Wisconsin. Computer software is used at a location in Wisconsin if the purchaser or licensee uses the computer software in the regular course of business operations in Wisconsin, for personal use in Wisconsin, or if the purchaser or licensee is an individual whose domicile is in Wisconsin. If the purchaser or licensee uses the computer software in more than one state, the gross receipts are divided among those states having jurisdiction to impose an income tax or franchise tax measured by net income on the taxpayer in proportion to the use of the computer software in those states. To determine computer software use in Wisconsin, the department may consider the number of users in each state where the computer software is used, the number of site licenses or workstations in Wisconsin, and any other factors that reflect the use of computer software in Wisconsin. For the Total Company column, enter gross receipts from the use of computer software used everywhere. Line 28. Gross Royalties and Other Gross Receipts from Intangibles Excluding Securities – For the Wisconsin column, enter gross royalties and other gross receipts received for the use of intangible property if the user, purchaser, or licensee uses the intangible property at a location in Wisconsin. Intangible property is used at a location in Wisconsin if the user, purchaser, or licensee uses the property in the operation of a trade or business at a location in Wisconsin, for personal use in Wisconsin, or if the user, purchaser, or licensee is an individual whose domicile is in Wisconsin. If the user, purchaser, or licensee uses the intangible property in more than one state, the gross royalties and other gross receipts from the sale or use of the intangible property shall be divided among those states having jurisdiction to impose an income tax or franchise tax measured by net income on the taxpayer in proportion to the use of the intangible property in those states. To determine intangible property use in Wisconsin, the department may consider the number of licensed sites in each state, the volume of property manufactured, produced, or sold at locations in Wisconsin, or any other factors that reflect the use of the intangible property in Wisconsin.

Sales of Tangible Personal Property – For the Wisconsin column, enter gross receipts from the sales of tangible personal property, except sales to the federal government, if the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser within Wisconsin regardless of the f.o.b. point or other conditions of the sales. Some situations in which property is considered to be delivered or shipped to a purchaser within Wisconsin are if: • The property is picked up outside Wisconsin by a purchaser having a Wisconsin business location and the purchaser returns to Wisconsin with the property. • The taxpayer, at the designation of the purchaser, or the purchaser delivers to or has the property shipped to a recipient other than the purchaser within Wisconsin. • The shipment by either the taxpayer or the purchaser terminates in Wisconsin, even though the property is subsequently transferred by the purchaser to another state. • The recipient is in Wisconsin, even though the property is ordered from outside Wisconsin. • The property is being shipped by a seller or purchaser from one state to a consignee in another state and is diverted while enroute to a purchaser in Wisconsin, or the designee of a purchaser who is in Wisconsin. • Sales to the federal government are in Wisconsin if the property is shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory or other place of storage in Wisconsin and delivered to the federal government, including its agencies and instrumentalities, in Wisconsin regardless of the f.o.b. point or other conditions of sale. Only sales for which the federal government makes direct payment to the seller pursuant to the terms of its contract constitute sales to the federal government. Thus, sales by a subcontractor to the prime contractor, the party to the contract with the federal government, do not constitute sales to the federal government. • Sales to the federal government are in Wisconsin if the property is shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory or other place of storage in Wisconsin and delivered to the federal government, including its agencies and instrumentalities, outside Wisconsin and the taxpayer does not have nexus in the destination state. For the Total Company column, enter the gross receipts from the sales of tangible personal property everywhere. Line 30. Gross Receipts Apportioned to a State Where the Taxpayer Would not be Taxable Under P.L.86- 272 – For the Wisconsin column, enter the throwback sales described below. Throwback Sales A “throwback sale” is a taxpayer’s sale of tangible personal property destined for a state where the taxpayer has no nexus. If a sale is a throwback sale, it is included in the numerator of the sales factor as a Wisconsin sale. For purposes of determining throwback sales, a “state” is any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and any United States territory or possession. A foreign country is not a “state.” Nexus in General. To determine if a taxpayer has nexus in another state for purposes of computing throwback sales, apply the same rules used to determine if a similarly situated taxpayer would be subject to Wisconsin franchise or income tax if it made the sale to Wisconsin from another state. However, if the Wisconsin Statutes provide a specific exemption from nexus, such as in sec. 71.23(3), Wis. Stats., do not apply that Wisconsin statutory exemption. A taxpayer engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property does not have nexus in any state where it is protected from taxation under federal Public Law 86-272 (P.L. 86-272). See sec. Tax 2.82, Wisconsin Administrative Code, for more details of P.L. 86-272 and a description of what constitutes nexus for Wisconsin IC-802 (R 12/24) 9 |
Enlarge image | 2024 Schedule A-02 Instructions franchise or income tax purposes. Also see sec. Tax 2.39(6)(b), Wisconsin Administrative Code, for more information about the relationship between nexus and throwback sales. Nexus and Throwback Sales for Combined Groups. In a combined group, nexus is determined for the unitary business as a whole. Therefore, a combined group member’s sales destined outside Wisconsin cannot be “thrown back” to Wisconsin if any member of the combined group has nexus relating to the unitary business in the destination state. Example 1: Corporation B has an office and inventory in Wisconsin, but when considered as a separate entity, it does not have any property or nexus-creating activity outside Wisconsin. However, Corporation B is in Combined Group BC, which consists of Corporations B and C. Corporation C has an office and retail store in Illinois, which are part of the same unitary business as B’s Wisconsin office and inventory. Assume that B sells a widget to a customer located in Illinois and ships it by common carrier to the customer’s Illinois address. Corporation B should not include that sale in its sales factor numerator as a throwback sale. Since C has nexus in Illinois that relates to Combined Group BC’s unitary business, B is also deemed to have nexus in Illinois. See secs. Tax 2.61(7), and 2.82(5), Wisconsin Administrative Code, for further details of how nexus and throwback sales are determined for combined groups. Line 32. Apportionment Percentage (Separate return filers and pass-through entities) – Divide Wisconsin column, line 31, by Total Company column, line 31, and multiply that amount by 100. Fill all spaces to the right of the decimal point. Round to the nearest ten-thousandth of a percent (for example, 12.3456%). See the instructions of the tax form being filed (Form 1NPR, 2, 3, 4, 4T, 5S, or 6) for how to report and use this percentage. Conversion to Modified Sales Factor Combined return filers complete lines 33 through 38 to compute the “modified sales factor” that will determine their Wisconsin share of combined unitary income. . Line 33. Intercompany Sales (Combined Group Members Only) – Any sales made between members of the same combined group (“intercompany sales”), either directly or through interests in a pass-through entity, must be excluded from the amounts being entered on lines 1 through 30. Report the excluded intercompany sales on line 33. If these intercompany sales are already excluded from lines 1 through 30, do not enter any amounts on line 33. Additional details about intercompany transactions involving pass-through entities are presented below and sec. Tax 2.61(7)(e), Wisconsin Administrative Code. Sales to Pass-Through Entities Owned by Combined Group Members. If a combined group member makes a sale to a pass-through entity which is more than 50 percent owned, directly or indirectly, by members of the combined group, the member must eliminate an amount equal to the gross receipts of the sale multiplied by the sum of all combined group members’ interests in the pass-through entity as of the date of the sale. The examples below illustrate: Example 2: Combined Group LM consists of Member L and Member M. L owns a 40% interest in Partnership P. M owns a 60% interest in Partnership P. On March 1, 2024, L sells a widget to Partnership P for $10,000, and this sale is includable in Group LM’s combined unitary income. In its computation of apportionment factors for 2024, L must subtract $10,000 (= $10,000 x (40% + 60%)) from its sales factor denominator and, if applicable, from its numerator. IC-802 (R 12/24) 10 |

In its computation of apportionment factors for 2024, L must subtract $7,500 (= $10,000 x (25% + 50%)) from its sales factor denominator and, if applicable, from its numerator. Sales by Pass-Through Entities Owned by Combined Group Members. If a pass-through entity makes a sale to a combined group member and more than 50 percent of the pass-through entity is directly or indirectly owned by members of the combined group, each member with an interest in the pass-through entity must subtract from its sales factor numerator and denominator any amount that would otherwise be included attributable to the sale. Example 4: Combined Group ST consists of Member S and Member T. S owns a 20% interest in Partnership R. T owns an 80% interest in Partnership R. On October 1, 2024, Partnership R sells a widget to S for $20,000, and this sale is includable in Group ST’s combined unitary income. In its computation of apportionment factors for 2024, S must subtract $4,000 (= $20,000 x 20%) from its sales factor denominator and, if applicable, from its numerator. Similarly, T must subtract $16,000 (= $20,000 x 80%) from its sales factor denominator and, if applicable, from its numerator. Line 34. Sales Excluded from Combined Unitary Income (Combined Group Members Only) – If sales are included in the amount reported Form 6, Part II, line 6 for separately apportioned income, those sales are excluded from the numerator and denominator of the sales factor. Report the excluded amount of these sales on line 34. However, if these excluded sales are entered on lines 1 through 30, do not enter any amounts on line 34. See the instructions to Form N, Wisconsin Nonapportionable, Separately Accounted, and Separately Apportioned Income, for further details on how to report and apportion separately apportioned income. Line 37. Sales Previously Deferred (Combined Group Members Only) – If a combined group member made a sale to another member of the combined group in a prior taxable year and gain or loss on the transaction was deferred under the provisions of sec. 71.255(4)(g), Wis. Stats., the selling member must include the gross receipts from the sale in its sales factor in the year the gain or loss is recognized, to the extent those gross receipts are otherwise includable in the sales factor. NOTE: Section 71.255(4)(g), Wis. Stats., provides that the intercompany deferral provisions of Treas. Reg. §1.1502-13 apply to a combined group similarly to how they apply to a consolidated group for federal purposes. See the instructions to Form 6, Part I, line 33, for details. Report the gross receipts corresponding to any income recognized under sec. 71.255(4)(g), Wis. Stats., on line 37. If these receipts are already included on lines 1 through 30, do not enter any amounts on line 37. Under sec. Tax 2.61(7)(d), Wisconsin Administrative Code, special sourcing rules apply to amounts reported on line 37. If a combined group member sells an item or service to another combined group member and the purchaser subsequently resells it to a third party outside of the group, the situs of both sales is determined based on the situs of the sale from the purchasing member to the third party. Also, the purchasing member must exclude from its apportionment factors the amount the selling member already included attributable to that same item or service. Example 5: Combined Group YZ consists of Member Y and Member Z. Group YZ is on a calendar year. On December 30, 2023, Y sells a widget with a cost of $400 to Z, for $600. Y ships the widget to Z’s warehouse in Wisconsin. On January 30, 2024, Z resells the widget to Q, an unrelated third party, for $700. Z ships the widget to Q’s headquarters in Illinois. Assume both the sale by Y and the sale by Z are includable in combined unitary income and assume that Z has nexus in Illinois. IC-802 (R 12/24) 11 |
Enlarge image | 2024 Schedule A-02 Instructions In 2023, Y did not recognize any gain on the sale to Z because the gain was deferred under the provisions of sec. 71.255(4)(g), Wis. Stats. Since the gain on the sale was not recognized, Y cannot include the $600 sale in its apportionment factors for 2023. In 2024, Y must include its $200 of gain on the sale to Z (= $600 - $400) in combined unitary income. Y must also include the sale $600 in its sales factor denominator for 2024. Z must include its $100 gain on the sale to Q (= $700 - $600) in combined unitary income for 2024. However, since $600 of Z’s sales price has already been included in Y’s sales factor, Z may only include the remaining $100 of the sale amount in its sales factor denominator. Neither Y nor Z include these amounts in their sales factor numerators since both sales are deemed to have a situs in Illinois where Group YZ has nexus.
