 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

   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,

   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

 • 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.

 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.

 For the Total Company column, enter gross royalties and other gross receipts received for the use of intangible 
 property no matter where used. 
 
 Line 29. 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

 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. The example below illustrates: 
 
 Example: 
 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 1: 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, 2023, 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 2023, 
 L must subtract $10,000 (= $10,000 x (40% + 60%)) from its sales factor denominator and, if applicable, from its 
 numerator.

                                           2023 Schedule A-02 Instructions 

 Example 2: Assume the same facts as Example 1, except that Member L owns a 25% interest and M owns a 50% 
 interest in Partnership P. In its computation of apportionment factors for 2023, 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. 
 The example below illustrates: 
 
 Example: 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, 2023, 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 
 2023, 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. The example below illustrates: 
 
 Example: 
 Combined Group YZ consists of Member Y and Member Z. Group YZ is on a calendar year. On December 30, 
 2022, 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,  2023, 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.

                                         2023 Schedule A-02 Instructions 

 In 2022, 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 2022. 
 
 In 2023, 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 2023. Z must include its $100 gain on the sale to 
 Q (= $700 - $600) in combined unitary income for 2023. 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.
