2024 Instructions for the Wisconsin Fiduciary Return
Form 2 and Schedule 2K-1

Form 2 and Schedule CC, Request for a Closing Certificate of Fiduciaries, may be filed electronically! Note Schedule CC must be
filed separately from Form 2.

• Form 2 may be filed electronically using modernized e-file software. See Third-Party Software for Fiduciary, Estate and Trust e-File Returns
on the department’s website.
• Schedule CC and required documents may be filed electronically directly from the department’s website at

Important Notices

• Wisconsin did not adopt section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), as created in the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of
2017, which provides a taxpayer, other than a corporation, a federal deduction of up to 20 percent of qualified business income.
Any federal qualified business income deduction claimed under sec. 199A, IRC, that is included in the computation of federal
taxable income of a fiduciary or its beneficiaries must be added back to Wisconsin taxable income using Schedule B of Form
2. Note Nonresident and part-year resident estates and trusts may not use Schedule A for Form 2. They must instead use
Schedule NR to report adjustments.

• Wisconsin follows the final treasury regulations from the IRS under TD 9918, as they relate to secs. 67(e) and 642(h), IRC, for
determining the character, amount, and allocation of deductions in excess of gross income succeeded to by a beneficiary on
the termination of an estate or non-grantor trust for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.

General Instructions

Resident Estates or Trusts
ESTATES: The estate of a decedent is considered resident of Wisconsin if the decedent was domiciled in Wisconsin at the time of death.

TRUSTS: A trust created by a decedent’s will (testamentary trust) is resident of Wisconsin if the decedent was domiciled in Wisconsin
at the time of death, unless transferred by a court having jurisdiction to another court’s jurisdiction.

Inter vivos trusts that are made irrevocable and were administered in Wisconsin before October 29, 1999, are considered resident of
Wisconsin if they are being administered in Wisconsin.

The following inter vivos trusts that become irrevocable on or after October 29, 1999, or that became irrevocable before October 29,
1999, and are first administered in Wisconsin on or after October 29, 1999, are resident of Wisconsin:

1. Trusts, or portions of trusts, the assets of which consist of property placed in the trust by a person who is a resident of Wisconsin
at the time that the property was placed in the trust if, at the time that the assets were placed in the trust, the trust was irrevocable.

2. Trusts, or portions of trusts, the assets of which consist of property placed in the trust by a person who is a resident of Wisconsin
at the time that the trust became irrevocable if, at the time that the property was placed in the trust, the trust was revocable.

A trust is revocable if the person whose property constitutes the trust may revest title to the property in that person.

A trust is irrevocable if the power to revest title does not exist.

Note For more information regarding the residency of estates and trusts, view the answers to common questions for Estates, Trusts,
and Fiduciaries on the department’s website at revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/ise-estate.aspx.

Situs of Income
ESTATES: During the time the estate is a Wisconsin resident, all income is sourced to Wisconsin. During the time the estate is not
a Wisconsin resident, income is sourced to Wisconsin under sec. 71.04, Wis. Stats.

TRUSTS: During the time a trust is a Wisconsin resident, all income is sourced to Wisconsin. During the time a trust is not a Wisconsin
resident, income is sourced to Wisconsin under sec. 71.04, Wis. Stats.

For inter vivos trusts that become irrevocable on or after October 29, 1999, or that became irrevocable before
October 29, 1999, and are first administered in Wisconsin on or after October 29, 1999, Wisconsin sourced income must be determined
separately for each asset in the trust based on each asset’s residency. All income from resident assets is sourced to Wisconsin and
income from nonresident assets is sourced to Wisconsin under sec. 71.04, Wis. Stats.

Filing Requirements
RESIDENT ESTATES: Every personal representative or special administrator of the estate of a Wisconsin decedent must file a Wis-
consin fiduciary income tax return if the gross income of the estate is $600 or more.

Gross income means all income (before deducting expenses) reportable to Wisconsin which is received in the form of money, prop-
erty, or services. It does not include items that are exempt from Wisconsin tax.

Note If an estate sells the decedent’s residence and the gross proceeds from the sale are greater than $600, the personal represen-
tative is required to file a tax return even if the residence is sold at a loss.

Example: The decedent was a Wisconsin resident. The decedent’s personal residence is the only asset of the estate. The residence’s
value is $100,000 at date of death. The estate sells the residence for a sale price of $90,000. The net loss is ($10,000). Although the
sale resulted in a loss, the personal representative is required to file a tax return because gross income from the sale of the residence
is $90,000 and that is greater than the $600 filing requirement.

NONRESIDENT ESTATES: A nonresident estate must file a Wisconsin fiduciary return if it has gross income (see definition under
“RESIDENT ESTATES”) of $600 or more from Wisconsin sources.

Income from Wisconsin sources includes income or gain from:
a. Real or tangible personal property located within the state.
b. A business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on within the state, including a corporation taxed under Subchapter S of the
Internal Revenue Code.
- 2 -

- 3 -

c. Personal or professional services performed within the state either as an individual or a member of a partnership.
d. Income received from the Wisconsin state lottery or a multijurisdictional lottery if the winning lottery ticket or lottery share was
purchased from a Wisconsin retailer.

GRANTOR TYPE TRUSTS: If the entire trust is a grantor trust that is disregarded for income tax purposes, the trust is not required
to file a Wisconsin fiduciary income tax return.

Exception Grantor trusts filing under a federal employer identification number instead of a grantor’s social security number, including
qualified subchapter S trusts (QSSTs), must file a Form 2. Include a complete copy of the entity’s federal return.

RESIDENT TRUSTS: Every trustee of a Wisconsin trust must file a Wisconsin fiduciary income tax return if the trust has:
1. Any taxable income for the tax year, or
2. Gross income (see definition under “RESIDENT ESTATES”) of $600 or more regardless of the taxable income.

Example: A resident trust has $400 of interest income. It makes no distributions and therefore only has an exemption of $100, which
would result in taxable income of $300. The trust is required to file a Wisconsin fiduciary return, because it has taxable income.

NONRESIDENT AND PART-YEAR RESIDENT TRUSTS: A nonresident or part-year resident trust must file a Wisconsin fiduciary
income tax return if it has:
1. Any Wisconsin taxable income for the year, or
2. Gross income from Wisconsin sources (see definitions under “RESIDENT ESTATES” and “NONRESIDENT ESTATES”) of $600
or more regardless of the taxable income.

Other Filing Requirements
EXEMPT TRUSTS: (Do NOT file Form 2 if required to file Form 4T.) Trusts that are exempt under the Internal Revenue Code by reason
of their purposes or activities are also exempt from Wisconsin income tax. Common law trusts organized or conducted for profit are
deemed to be corporations and must file a Wisconsin corporation franchise or income tax return.

Note Trusts that are exempt from federal taxation under sec. 501(a), IRC, including certain pension, profit-sharing, and stock bonus
plans described in sec. 401(a), IRC, and individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) are required to report unrelated business taxable
income for Wisconsin tax purposes. File a Wisconsin Form 4T if the trust reports unrelated business taxable income for federal
purposes on federal Form 990-T and the trust has gross income from an unrelated trade or business of $1,000 or more. For more
information, see Wisconsin Form 4T instructions on the department’s website at revenue.wi.gov.

FINAL RETURN OF AN ESTATE OR TRUST: A final fiduciary return reporting all income received from the beginning of the taxable
year of closing to the date of closing may be required.

The net income computed on the final return must be distributed to the beneficiaries and no income tax is payable by the fiduciary.
The beneficiaries of the estate or trust must report income as if it had been received without the intervention of the fiduciary.

Include a copy of the final account or a letter advising that a final account is not required by the probate court with the final fiduciary
return.

BANKRUPTCY ESTATE – PROMPT DETERMINATION REQUESTS: Under Rev. Proc. 2006-24, 2006-22 I.R.B. 943, as modified by
Announcement 2011-77, the bankruptcy trustee may request a determination of any unpaid tax liability. Requests may be submitted
via:
• DORBankruptcySpecialist@wisconsin.gov
• Fax: (608) 224-5700
• MS 4-CMP-W
Wisconsin Department of Revenue
PO Box 8901
Madison WI 53713-8901

CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS: If you are required to file a federal Form 5227 for a charitable remainder trust, you are not
required to file a Wisconsin tax return. However, if the charitable remainder trust has at least $1,000 of Wisconsin sourced gross
income from an unrelated trade or business, the charitable remainder trust is required to file a Wisconsin Form 4T.

ESTATE OR TRUST RECEIVING A SCHEDULE 2K-1, 3K-1, OR 5K-1: An estate or trust must include with the Form 2, any Schedule
2K-1, 3K-1 or 5K-1 received by the estate or trust for the taxable year.

- 3 -

- 4 -

INDIVIDUAL TAX RETURN FOR A DECEDENT: A personal representative or petitioner must file an individual return for a decedent 
to report income from the beginning of the year to the date of death (Form 1 or 1NPR). The due date of the 2024 individual return is 
April 15, 2025. The filing requirements are as follows:
a.  Single persons.
 (1)  Under age 65 – gross income of $13,930 or more.
 (2)  Age 65 or older – gross income of $14,180 or more.
b.  Married persons filing jointly.
 (1)  Both spouses under age 65 – gross income of $25,890 or more.
 (2)  One spouse age 65 or older – gross income of $26,140 or more.
 (3)  Both spouses age 65 or older – gross income of $26,390 or more.
c.  Married persons filing separately.
 (1)  Under age 65 – gross income of $12,330 or more.
 (2)  Age 65 or older – gross income of $12,580 or more.
d.  Head of household.
 (1)  Under age 65 – gross income of $17,790 or more.
 (2)  Age 65 or older – gross income of $18,040 or more.
e.  Part-year resident or nonresident – gross income from Wisconsin sources of $2,000 or more.

 When and Where to File
A return for a trust is due on or before April 15, 2025. A return for an estate is due on or before April 15, 2025, for a calendar year filer 
or the 15th day of the 4th month after the close of the taxable year for a fiscal year filer.

Note Form 2 may be filed electronically using modernized e-file software. See Third-Party Software for Fiduciary, Estate and Trust 
e-File Returns on the department’s website.

Short Period Returns. Returns for short taxable years (periods of less than 12 months) are due on or before the federal due date. 
Be sure to use the correct year’s tax return when filing for a short period. If the tax returns are not yet available, wait until the returns 
become available and file under extension. For example, if a taxpayer has a short period from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 
2025, the 2025 Form 2 will not be ready by July 15, 2025 (unextended due date for a March 31 year-end). Wisconsin law provides 
for the same extension period (typically 5 1/2 months) as the Internal Service to file the estate or trust return (see Extensions below). 
Filing under extension will allow the correct years return to be filed when the 2025 Form 2 is available (typically November 1).

Exception If an estate is submitting a final return (Form 2) that begins and ends in the current tax year and the period ends on or 
before October 31, the estate may submit a short-period return on the most current Form 2 available.

Extensions. If you cannot file on time, the following options are available for obtaining an extension:
1.  If you have an extension for filing your federal return, this automatically gives you a Wisconsin extension provided you:
 •  Estimate your 2024 Wisconsin tax and pay the amount you will owe with your return (line 25 of Form 2) by the unextended due 
 date of the return using 2024 Wisconsin Form 1-ES, and
 •  Include a copy of your federal extension application with your Form 2 when filed.

2.  Extensions available under federal law may be used for Wisconsin purposes (typically 5 1/2 months), even if you do not need a 
 federal extension because you file your federal return by the due date. To obtain an extension only for Wisconsin,
 •  Estimate your 2024 Wisconsin tax and pay the amount you will owe by the unextended due date of the return and
 •  Include a statement with your Form 2 indicating which federal extension provision you are using or include a copy of a completed 
 federal extension application form.

No extension is allowed if your estimate of tax is not reasonable. For information on submitting a payment, visit the department’s Make 
a Payment web page under “Make a Payment – Individuals and Fiduciaries.”

For more information on extensions, see Publication 401, Extensions of Time to File.

Note Even though you may have an extension of time to file your return, you will owe interest on any tax not paid by the original due 
date. Returns not filed by the extended due date are subject to additional interest and penalties. 

Exception You will not be charged interest during an extension period if you qualify for a federal extension due to a federally-declared 
disaster. See Special Conditions below.

Special Conditions A “Special Conditions” section is located on page 1 of Form 2. If you have an extension of time to file because 
of a federally-declared disaster, fill in “03” in the box and indicate the specific disaster on the line provided.

 Withholding Requirement for Estates and Trusts Having Nonresident Beneficiaries
In general, an estate or trust that has one or more nonresident beneficiaries is required to withhold income or franchise tax on the 
income allocable to the nonresident beneficiaries. This withholding tax may be required to be paid in quarterly installments. See 
Form PW-ES, Wisconsin Pass-Through Entity Withholding Estimated Payment Voucher, and instructions for details.

For information on submitting a payment, visit the department’s Make a Payment web page under “Make a Payment – Individuals 
and Fiduciaries.”

The estate or trust uses Form PW-1, Wisconsin Nonresident Income or Franchise Tax Withholding on Pass-Through Entity Income, 
to report the withholding. Form PW-1 is due by the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the estate’s or trust’s taxable year. 
See the Form PW-1 instructions for details.

A nonresident beneficiary includes an individual who is not domiciled in Wisconsin; a partnership, limited liability company, or 
corporation whose commercial domicile is outside Wisconsin; and an estate or trust that is nonresident under sec. 71.14(1) to (3m), 
Wis. Stats. If the nonresident beneficiary is an individual, estate, or trust, the withholding rate is 7.65%. If the nonresident beneficiary 
is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the withholding rate is 7.9%.

Exceptions  Withholding is not required on behalf of the following nonresident beneficiaries:
• A beneficiary that is exempt from Wisconsin income or franchise taxation. The estate or trust may rely on a written statement from 
 a beneficiary explaining why the beneficiary is exempt from Wisconsin tax. The estate or trust must include a copy of this statement 
 with the Form 2 filed with the department.
• A beneficiary whose share of income from the estate or trust attributable to Wisconsin is less than $2,000.
• A beneficiary who completes Form PW-2,   Wisconsin Nonresident Partner, Member, Shareholder, or Beneficiary Withholding 
 Exemption Affidavit, and provides Part 2 of Form PW-2 to the estate or trust. The completed Form PW-2 must be pre-approved by 
 the department. See the Form PW-2 instructions for details.

Caution Nonresidents with a Wisconsin filing requirement must file the appropriate Wisconsin income or franchise tax return.

 Seven Steps to Filing the Fiduciary Income Tax Return

 1  Gather all records.
  Make sure that all income and expense records are available, including interest and dividend statements, so the return can be 
  prepared correctly.
 2  Complete the federal return.
  Before completing Wisconsin Form 2, complete the federal return, Form 1041 or 1041-QFT, and its supporting schedules, if 
  required.
 3  Complete the Wisconsin return (see tips on last page of these instructions).
 4  Sign the return.
  The return must be signed by the personal representative or special administrator of an estate or by the trustee of a trust.
 5  If filing on paper, assemble the return.
  Begin by putting the four pages of Form 2 in numerical order. Then attach, using a paper clip (do not staple), the following in the 
  order listed:
  • Payment – If you owe an amount with the return, paper clip your payment to the front of Form 2.
  • Wisconsin Schedules – The appropriate copy of each of your withholding statements (Schedules 2K-1, 3K-1, and 5K-1 and
    Forms W-2 and 1099).
  • Federal Return – A complete copy of your federal return (Form 1041 or 1041-QFT) and its supporting schedules and forms.
  • Supporting Documents – For example, copies of property tax bills in support of a farmland preservation credit claim.
  • Extension Form or Statement – A copy of your federal extension application or required statement if you are filing under an
    extension.
 6  Keep a copy of the return.
 7  Form 2 may be filed electronically using modernized e-file software. See Third-Party Software for Fiduciary, Estate

Type of Estate or Trust Check to indicate the type of estate or trust.
• Electing small business trust (ESBT) – a trust that has income from one or more S corporations. The portion of an ESBT that consists
of stock of one or more S corporations is treated as a separate trust.
A trust that qualifies as an ESBT for federal purposes under the IRC as amended to December 31, 2022, automatically qualifies as
an ESBT for Wisconsin. The trustee isn’t required to make a separate Wisconsin election, nor are they permitted to make a different
election for Wisconsin.
The trust must complete Schedule ESBT, Computation of Wisconsin Taxable Income for Electing Small Business Trusts. See the
Schedule ESBT instructions for more information on reporting requirements of an ESBT.
• Qualified subchapter S trust (QSST) – a trust that qualifies as a QSST for federal purposes under sec. 1361, IRC, as amended to
December 31, 2022, automatically qualifies as a QSST for Wisconsin. The beneficiary isn’t required to make a separate Wisconsin
election, nor are they permitted to make a different election for Wisconsin. The QSST must file Wisconsin fiduciary income tax returns,
Form 2, to report its share of tax-option (S) corporation income, whether or not all of the trust income is distributed. In addition, the
beneficiary of the QSST must file Wisconsin individual income tax returns. See Wisconsin Publication 102 for more information.
If the QSST is the shareholder in a tax-option (S) corporation that elects to be taxed at the entity level, the trust must inform the
beneficiary of the election and provide all the information reported on the Schedule 5K-1. If the tax-option (S) corporation has made
this election, box 3 on Schedule 5K-1, Part B, will be checked. The trust must provide the beneficiary with a detailed statement of the
items from the electing tax-option (S) corporation and inform the beneficiary that the tax-option (S) corporation made the election
to pay tax at the entity level. The beneficiary can refer to Schedule 5K-1 instructions for additional information on reporting items of
income, gain, loss, or deduction from an electing tax-option (S) corporation.
• Qualified funeral trust (QFT) – if a trust elects to be taxed as a QFT for federal income tax purposes, the election also applies for
Wisconsin. If QFT is checked, see the “Exceptions” in the instructions for line 6a.
• Nonresident estate or trust – complete Wisconsin Schedule NR.
• Part-year estate or trust – complete Wisconsin Schedule NR. Note A trust that consists of resident assets and nonresident assets,
as provided under sec. 71.14(3m)(a), Wis. Stats., must check the part-year resident estate or trust box and complete Wisconsin
Schedule NR.
• Bankruptcy estate – a separate and distinct taxable entity created when an individual debtor files for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 or
11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. If bankruptcy estate is checked, see the “Exceptions” in the instructions for lines 1 and 6a.
• Inter vivos trust – a trust created during a grantor’s lifetime.
• Testamentary trust – a trust created by a decedent’s will that comes into existence at the death of the decedent.
• Section 645 election – allows a qualified revocable trust to be treated and taxed as part of the related estate during the election
period. If the election is made for federal income tax purposes, it also applies for Wisconsin. Include a copy of federal Form 8855
or letter making the election.
• Decedent’s estate – a taxable entity separate from a decedent. It generally continues to exist until the final distribution of the assets
is made to the beneficiaries. A fiduciary administers the decedent’s assets and reports income earned during administration and
income in respect of the decedent (IRD).

Special Conditions Certain estates and trusts have to enter information in the Special Conditions section. For information on when
to use the Special Conditions section, see “Special Conditions” under “When and Where to File” earlier in these instructions and
“Expenses paid to related entities” later in these instructions. If both special conditions apply, fill in “99” in the Special Conditions box.

Rounding Off to Whole Dollars The form has preprinted zeros in the place used to enter cents. All amounts filled in the form should
be rounded to the nearest dollar. To do so, 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.

Accounting Periods and Methods Use the same accounting period and method of accounting that are used for federal income tax
purposes. If the federal taxable year or method of accounting is changed, such change also applies for Wisconsin. Separate permission
to effect such change for Wisconsin is not required. However, include a copy of the federal document authorizing the change with the
Wisconsin fiduciary return.
• Elections. An estate or trust can’t make different elections for federal and Wisconsin purposes with respect to accounting periods and
accounting methods, unless the federal method isn’t permitted under the IRC in effect for Wisconsin. In situations where an estate
or trust has an option under the IRC and the IRS doesn’t consider that option to be a method of accounting, a different election may
be made for Wisconsin than that made for federal purposes. If federal law specifies the manner or time period in which an election
must be made, those requirements also apply for Wisconsin purposes. For more information, see Wisconsin Tax Bulletin 214 (July
2021, page 8).

Tax Computation
Line 6a. Tax on income from Line 5 Using the Wisconsin taxable income on line 5, enter the tax from the tax tables provided towards
the end of these instructions.
Exceptions

If an estate or trust is a partner or shareholder in a partnership or tax-option (S) corporation that elected to be taxed at the entity level
in Wisconsin, the estate or trust may not use the taxes paid by the partnership or tax-option (S) corporation to compute a credit for
tax paid to another state. In addition, a resident estate or trust partner or shareholder may not claim a credit for taxes paid to another
state on income taxed at the entity level in Wisconsin.

Line 11b. Sales and Use Tax Due on Internet, Mail Order, or Other Out-of-State Purchases Did the estate or trust make any
taxable purchases from out-of-state firms in 2024 on which sales and use tax was not charged? If yes, report Wisconsin sales and
use tax on these purchases on line 11b if they were stored, used, or consumed in Wisconsin. Also report sales and use tax on taxable
purchases from a retailer located in another country, regardless of whether the estate or trust was 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, coins purchased for more than face
value, etc.

Example: An estate or trust maintains a condo in Wisconsin. The estate or trust purchases $500 of appliances for the condo through
a catalog or over the Internet. No sales and use tax was charged. The appliances were delivered to a county in Wisconsin with a 5%
tax rate. The estate or trust is liable for $25 Wisconsin tax ($500 x 5% = $25) on this purchase.

• Credit the refund against an amended return tax liability for any year, or
• Credit the refund against a notice of amount due for any year.

The notification of a change in election must occur on or before the due date of the final estimated tax installment payment (the 15th 
day of the 1st month following the end of the taxable year). For example, January 16, 2024, was the due date for a calendar-year filer

Line 24. Underpayment Interest If estimated payments were required to be made and were not made in a timely manner, see 
Schedule U to determine if underpayment interest is owed. If you are due a refund, subtract the underpayment interest from the 
overpayment shown on line 20 and adjust lines 21 and 22 if necessary. Include Schedule U with your Wisconsin Form 2.
Note  Fill in the exception code in the box to the left of line 24 if certain exceptions to underpayment interest apply to you, you are 
enclosing an application for a waiver of underpayment interest, or are using the annualized income installment method (Part IV of 
Schedule U) to compute underpayment interest. See the instructions for Schedule U for the exception code to use.

Line 25. Amount Due 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. See Schedule U instructions to see if you owe underpayment interest.

electing partnership or tax-option (S) corporation. Nonresident and part-year resident estates and trusts must complete Schedule NR.

Note Charitable contributions reported on a Schedule 5K-1 from an electing tax-option (S) corporation are not deductible and must
be added back to income if deducted on the estate’s or trust’s federal tax return.

Except for charitable contributions that would otherwise be allowed as a deduction for a fiduciary as provided in sec. 642, IRC,
charitable contributions reported on a Schedule 3K-1 from an electing partnership are not deductible and must be added back to
income if deducted on the estate’s or trust’s federal tax return.

If an estate or trust is a partner or shareholder in a partnership or tax-option (S) corporation that elects to be taxed at the entity level,
use line 17 of Schedule 2M to reverse the estate’s or trust’s nondistributable items of income, gain, loss, or deduction included on
the estate’s or trust’s Wisconsin Schedule 3K-1 or 5K-1 for which the partnership or tax-option (S) corporation is including on their
partnership or corporate income tax return.

Exception Do not include the amount of the estate’s or trust’s nondistributable capital gain or loss from an electing partnership or
tax-option (S) corporation when computing the modification on Schedule 2M. Nonresident and part-year resident estates and trusts
must complete Schedule NR, see the Schedule NR instructions for more information.

For amounts entered in column 2, complete and include Schedule 2M. Examples are:
a. Federal net operating loss carryover.
b. Lump-sum distribution. If you reported lump-sum distribution income on federal Form 4972, you must also include the distribu-
tion in Wisconsin income. Fill in on Schedule A, line 5 the amount of lump-sum distribution income which is reported on line 10 of
Form 4972 plus any capital gain reported on line 6 of Form 4972. You may reduce this amount by any federal estate tax on line 18
of Form 4972.
Note No portion of a lump-sum distribution may be reported as a capital gain on a Wisconsin Schedule 2WD.

c. Transitional adjustments. These are adjustments required by the Wisconsin Statutes to account for differences between federal
basis and Wisconsin basis of changing basis assets (those subject to depreciation or amortization). Include a schedule showing
the computation of each transitional adjustment made.
Note Adjustments are required for the difference between the Wisconsin adjusted basis and the federal adjusted basis of depreciated
and amortized property on the last day of your taxable year beginning in 2013. As a result of these adjustments, the federal and
Wisconsin bases of such property are equal as of the first day of the tax year beginning in 2014.

d. Excess distribution from a passive foreign investment company. Fill in the amount of excess distribution from a passive foreign
investment company which has not been included in federal taxable income (see federal Form 8621 or 8621-A).

e. Addition for computed credits. If you claimed any of the credits listed below, you must include on line 5 the amount of your
credit computed for 2024. The amount of your credit is income and must be reported on Form 2. This is true even if you cannot
take the full credit this year and must carry part of it forward or if the credit is refundable. Note Do not include on line 5 any credit
passed through to you from a partnership, limited liability company, or tax-option (S) corporation. This will be accounted for when
you make the adjustments described in paragraph a under “ADDITIONS TO OR SUBTRACTIONS FROM INCOME” later in these
instructions.

List each credit separately on line 5. Include the following credits computed for 2024:
• Development Zone Credit
• Enterprise Zone Jobs Credit
• Economic Development Tax Credit
• Capital Investment Credit
• Community Rehabilitation Program Credit
• Business Development Credit
• Electronics and Information Technology Manufacturing Zone Credit
• Manufacturing and Agriculture Credit (see Exception below)
Exception The amount of manufacturing and/or agriculture credit computed for 2023 must be added to income on your 2024
Wisconsin income tax return.

f. Expenses paid to related entities. Fill in the amount deducted or excluded from federal taxable income for interest, rental expenses,
intangible expenses, and management fees paid, accrued, or incurred to a related entity (person or business entity). You must

- 15 -

- 16 -

make this addition even though you may be eligible for a deduction for these expenses. If you are eligible for a deduction, you may
then make a subtraction for the amount that qualifies, see “Expenses paid to related entities” under “Line 11. Other Subtractions,”
later in these instructions.

g. ABLE accounts The owner (beneficiary) of a qualified ABLE account must include in income any amount withdrawn from a
qualified ABLE account for any reason other than the payment of qualified disability expenses for the account beneficiary. Also,
upon termination of an account, an addition to income is provided for any amount in the account that is returned to an account
owner’s estate.

Subtractions
Line 7. Adjustments to Convert 2024 Federal Taxable Income to the Amount Allowable for Wisconsin (see Schedule B Instruc-
tions later in these instructions).

Line 8. Interest (Less Related Expenses) on Obligations of the United States Enter in the appropriate column the net amount of
interest and dividends on obligations and certain securities of the United States, which are by federal law exempt from taxation by states.
To arrive at the net amount, you must reduce the total U.S. interest by the proportionate share of deductions claimed on Form 1041.

An ordinary dividend received from a mutual fund which invests in U.S. government securities may be partially or completely nontaxable
for Wisconsin tax purposes. If information received from a mutual fund advises that any portion of a distribution is from investments
in U.S. government securities, that portion of the distribution may be included as U.S. government interest on line 8.

Caution Do not fill in on line 8 interest from Ginnie Mae (Government National Mortgage Association) securities and other similar
securities which are “guaranteed” by the U.S. government.

If a charitable deduction is claimed, reduce the amount of U.S. interest subtracted by the amount of U.S. interest included in the
charitable deduction on federal Form 1041.

Line 9. Capital Gain/Loss Adjustment If federal taxable income includes capital gains and/or losses, complete Wisconsin
Schedule 2WD to determine if an adjustment must be made to arrive at Wisconsin taxable income. For example, an adjustment may
be required because Wisconsin law allows a capital gain exclusion for assets held more than one year.

If an estate or trust is a partner or shareholder of an electing partnership or tax-option (S) corporation, the estate or trust must only
report the portion of the electing partnership’s or tax-option (S) corporation’s capital gains or losses distributable to the beneficiaries
on Schedule 2WD, do not include the estate’s or trust’s nondistributable portion. The nondistributable amount will be adjusted in Part
IV of Schedule 2WD as an addition or subtraction modification on line 4 or 9 of Schedule A, Form 2.

Line 10. Refunds of State and Local Taxes Enter refunds of state and local income taxes included in income on federal Form 1041.

Line 11. Other Subtractions Enter on this line any amount which is deductible or exempt from taxation by Wisconsin law and which
has been included in the computation of federal taxable income.

For amounts entered in column 1, include a schedule with a computation or explanation. Caution If a resident estate or trust is a
partner or shareholder in a partnership or tax-option (S) corporation that elects to be taxed at the entity level, do not reverse out the
Schedule 3K-1 or 5K-1 items that the estate or trust is treating as distributable to the beneficiaries. These items must be included on
Schedule 2K-1 with a supplemental statement detailing the items included on the Schedule 2K-1 that originated from a partnership
or tax-option (S) corporation making the election to pay tax at the entity level. Nonresident and part-year resident estates and trusts
must complete Schedule NR, see the Schedule NR instructions for more information.

If an estate or trust is a partner or shareholder in a partnership or tax-option (S) corporation that elects to be taxed at the entity level,
use line 32 of Schedule 2M to reverse the estate’s or trust’s nondistributable items of income, gain, loss, or deduction included on
the estate’s or trust’s Wisconsin Schedule 3K-1 or 5K-1 for which the partnership or tax-option (S) corporation is including on their
income tax return.

For amounts entered in column 2, complete and include Schedule 2M. Examples are:
a. Retirement funds. You may subtract payments received from certain retirement funds that are exempt from Wisconsin taxation to
the extent included in federal income. However, payments received from a tax-sheltered annuity deposit in such retirement systems
are taxable. (See instructions for Wisconsin Schedule SB, Form 1 - Subtractions from Income.)

b. Wisconsin NOL. If you had a Wisconsin net operating loss (NOL) in an earlier year to carry forward to 2024, include the allow-
able amount on Schedule A. Include Schedule NOL1, NOL2, or NOL3, as applicable. See the instructions for these schedules and
- 16 -

- 17 -

Publication 120, Net Operating Losses for Individuals, Estates, and Trusts, for details on computing the NOL and the allowable
deduction. Publication 120 is available on the department’s website, revenue.wi.gov.

c. Relocation assistance. Relocation assistance payments received subject to the provisions set forth in section 32.19, Wisconsin
Statutes.

d. Transitional adjustments. See Item c. for line 5, Schedule A instructions earlier. Include schedule.

e. Farm loss carryover. See instructions for Wisconsin Schedule SB, Form 1 - Subtractions from Income, for further details.

f. Certain military pay. Military pay that is included on a W-2 for a member of the Reserves or National Guard who served on active
duty may be subtracted if the pay was:
• Received from the federal government,
• Received after being called into active federal service or into special state service authorized by the federal Department of
Defense, and
• Paid for a period of time during which the member was on active duty and called into active federal service or special state
service.
Caution The subtraction only applies to members of the Reserves or National Guard who are called into active federal service
under 10 USC 12302(a), 10 USC 12304, or 10 USC 12304b, or special state service under 32 USC 502(f). It does not apply to pay
that members of the Reserves and National Guard receive for their weekend or two-week annual training. It also does not apply to
a person who is serving on active duty or full-time duty in the active guard reserve (AGR) program. However, persons in the AGR
program may qualify for a subtraction under item g., for U.S. Armed Forces Active Duty Pay.
Note Copies of military orders and leave and earning statements are not required to be included with the Wisconsin return; however,
including a copy of these documents may speed up the processing of the return.

g. U.S. Armed Forces Active Duty Pay. A subtraction is allowed for the amount of basic, special, or inventive pay as defined in 37
USC Chapters 3 and 5 if the following are met:
• Received from the federal government, and
• Received by an individual for active duty in the U.S. armed forces as defined in 26 USC 7701(a)(15).
Caution Do not include the following amounts in the subtraction:
• Amount subtracted under “certain military pay” in item f., above.
• Basic pay for inactive duty training.
• Basic housing allowance, or any other nontaxable income reported on your leave and earnings statement.
Note you are not required to send a copy of your leave and earnings statements; however, including copies with your Wisconsin
return, and a worksheet showing how you calculated the amount of your subtraction, may speed up the processing of your return.

For additional information, see Publication 128, Wisconsin Tax Information for Military Personnel and Veterans, available on the
department’s website, revenue.wi.gov.

h. Expenses paid to related entities. Were you required to add interest, rental expenses, intangible expenses, or management
fees paid to a related entity to income? If yes, see Schedule RT to find out if you qualify for a subtraction. Although you must meet
one of the conditions in Schedule RT, Part II to qualify for a subtraction, you do not need to include Schedule RT with your return
unless your total expenses paid, accrued, or incurred to related entities are $100,000 or more. If enclosing Schedule RT, also fill
in “16” in the Special Conditions box on page 1 of Form 2.

i. ABLE accounts A subtraction may be claimed for the amount contributed to a qualified ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience)
account during the year. The owner (beneficiary) of an ABLE account must be a disabled person. Distributions from the account
must be used to pay the qualified disability expenses of the disabled person. The total maximum subtraction that may be claimed
by all contributors to the account for 2024 is $18,000. The subtraction does not apply to rollovers or transfers from another account.

Caution An ABLE account must refund any contributions it receives after reaching the maximum contribution limits for the taxable
year. Such refunds must be made by the due date (including extensions) for the federal income tax return of the designated
beneficiary for the taxable year in which the excess contribution was made. Your subtraction is limited to the amount contributed
during 2024 less any amounts later refunded to you, excluding any portion of the refund that is considered earnings.

See instructions for Wisconsin Schedule SB, Form 1 - Subtractions from Income, for further details.

j. AmeriCorps Education Awards. If you received an AmeriCorps education award in 2024 to pay for your qualified student loans
or educational expenses or to participate in approved school-to-work programs, you may subtract the amount that was included in
federal adjusted gross income.
- 17 -

- 18 -

k. Investment in a Wisconsin Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). If a trust receives a Schedule 5K-1 from a tax-option (S) corporation
with a “Wisconsin QOF subtraction” on Schedule 5K-1, Part IV, Line 19, and the trust is an electing small business trusts (ESBT),
report the “Wisconsin QOF subtraction” on line 16 of schedule ESBT.

Other Additions to or Subtractions from Income
The following items may be either an addition to or a subtraction from federal taxable income, depending on your situation. Fill in any
additions on Schedule 2M, Part I, lines 17 and 18, and any subtractions on Part II, lines 32 and 33.

a. If an estate or trust is a partner or shareholder in a partnership or tax-option (S) corporation that elects to be taxed at the entity
level, use line 17 or 32 of Schedule 2M to reverse the estate’s or trust’s nondistributable items of income, gain, loss, or deduc-
tion included on the estate’s or trust’s Wisconsin Schedule 3K-1 or 5K-1 for which the partnership or tax-option (S) corporation is
including on their partnership or corporate income tax return.

Exceptions
• Do not include the amount of the estate’s or trust’s nondistributable capital gain or loss from an electing partnership or tax-option
(S) corporation when computing the modification on Schedule 2M.
• Nonresident and part-year resident estates and trusts must complete Schedule NR, see the Schedule NR instructions for more
information.

b. Distributive share of net modifications of a partnership, limited liability company, or tax-option (S) corporation if it increases or
reduces the income of the partnership, limited liability company, or corporation. If the estate or trust is a shareholder of a federal
S corporation that elects not to be treated as a Wisconsin tax-option (S) corporation, all items of S corporation income, loss, or
deduction included on the federal return must be reversed.

Caution Do not reverse any item of S corporation income or loss reported on federal Schedule D. These items are removed from
Wisconsin income when Wisconsin Schedule 2WD is completed.

c. Adjustment for ordinary gain or loss for assets reported on federal Form 4797. If you reported sales (or other dispositions) of assets
on federal Form 4797 and there was a difference between the federal basis and the Wisconsin basis of an asset acquired on or
after the first day of your taxable year beginning in 2014, follow the three steps below to figure the adjustment.

STEP 1: Recompute federal Form 4797, Sales of Business Property.
• For assets the estate or trust sold or otherwise disposed of, use the Wisconsin basis instead of the federal basis when recomputing
Form 4797.
• For those assets disposed of by a partnership, limited liability company, tax-option (S) corporation, or other estate or trust, from
which the estate or trust received a distribution, use the Wisconsin gain or loss instead of the federal gain or loss when recomputing
Form 4797.
Note The Wisconsin gain or loss can be found on line 10a of Wisconsin Schedule 3K-1 or line 9a of Wisconsin Schedule 5K-1

Label this recomputed Form 4797 “Wisconsin.” Include the “Wisconsin” Form 4797 with Form 2.

STEP 2: If a net long-term capital gain was entered on the “Wisconsin” Form 4797, the amounts from the “Wisconsin” Form 4797 must
be used to complete line 12 of Wisconsin Schedule 2WD.

STEP 3: Complete the Adjustment Worksheet below if Part II was completed on either the federal or “Wisconsin” Form 4797.
• If you have an ordinary gain for both federal and Wisconsin purposes, fill in lines a and b of the worksheet. Also fill in line c or line
d, whichever applies.
• If you have an ordinary loss for both federal and Wisconsin purposes, fill in lines e and f of the worksheet. Also fill in line g or h,
whichever applies.
• If you have an ordinary gain for federal purposes, but not for Wisconsin purposes, fill in lines a, b, e, and f of the worksheet. Also fill in
line d and line g. Add the amounts on lines d and g and fill in the result on line 11 of Schedule A, page 4 Form 2.
• If you have an ordinary loss for federal purposes, but not for Wisconsin purposes, fill in lines a, b, e, and f of the worksheet. Also fill in
line c and line h. Add the amounts on lines c and h and fill in the result on line 5 of Schedule A, page 4, Form 2.

Schedule B Instructions – Conformity with Internal Revenue Code

Important The computation of taxable income on the 2024 Wisconsin fiduciary income tax return is based on the provisions of federal
law amended to December 31, 2022, with certain exceptions.
A list of some provisions of federal law that may affect Form 2 for 2024 can be found in the instructions for Wisconsin Form 3, Wis-
consin Partnership Return, under the Conformity with Internal Revenue Code and Exceptions section.
If any provision of federal law which does not apply for Wisconsin purposes affects your federal taxable income, include a schedule
with your Form 2. State the nature of the adjustment and a complete explanation. Enter the total amount on line 1 of Schedule B.

Schedule C Instructions – Adjustments to Capital Gains/Losses

Complete Schedule C to adjust capital gains and losses if capital assets sold or otherwise disposed of in 2024 had a different basis for
Wisconsin than for federal income tax purposes. The most common reason for a difference in basis is the use of the alternate value
for federal estate tax purposes while date of death value is required to be used for Wisconsin inheritance tax purposes for deaths prior
to January 1, 1992. For deaths after December 31, 1991, if the alternate value is used for federal estate tax purposes, the alternate
value would also be used for Wisconsin estate tax purposes.
To figure the adjustment, first determine the holding period for each capital asset which had a different basis for federal and Wisconsin
purposes. Property acquired by a decedent’s estate from the decedent is considered to be held more than one year. (Do not list assets
reported on federal Form 4797, such as depreciable property used in a trade or business, on Schedule C. Resident estates and trusts,
see “Adjustment for ordinary gain or loss for assets reported on federal Form 4797,” item b under Additions To or Subtractions From
Income earlier in of these instructions. Part-year and nonresident estates and trusts, see the instructions for line 7, Part I of Schedule NR.)
For capital assets held one year or less, fill in line 1 of Schedule C. If the Wisconsin adjusted basis is more than the federal adjusted
basis, fill in a negative number in the difference column (column C). Combine the amounts in column C and fill in the result on line 2
of Schedule C and on line 6 of Wisconsin Schedule 2WD. Enter a negative number as a loss.
For capital assets held more than one year, fill in line 3 of Schedule C. If the Wisconsin adjusted basis is more than the federal adjusted
basis, fill in a negative number in the difference column (column C). Combine the amounts in column C and fill in the result on line 4
of Schedule C and on line 15 of Wisconsin Schedule 2WD. Enter a negative number as a loss.
Note If there is inadequate space on lines 1 and 3 to list each capital asset which had a different basis for Wisconsin than for federal
tax purposes, include a separate page with Form 2 giving the required information.

Schedule 2K-1 Instructions –
Beneficiary’s Share of Income, Deductions, Etc.

Schedule 2K-1 shows each beneficiary’s share of income, deductions, etc., distributed by the estate or trust. Schedule 2K-1 requires
an entry for the federal amount, adjustment, and Wisconsin amount of each applicable estate or trust item.

If an estate or trust is a partner or shareholder in a partnership or tax-option (S) corporation that elects to be taxed at the entity level,
the portion of the electing partnership’s or tax-option (S) corporation’s items distributable to the beneficiaries must be included on
Schedule 2K-1 as if the election was not made. The estate or trust must check box D under Part II of Schedule 2K-1, and provide the
beneficiary a supplemental statement with the Schedule 2K-1 detailing the items from the electing partnership or tax-option (S) corpo-
ration and informing the beneficiary that the partnership or tax-option (S) corporation made the election to pay tax at the entity level.
- 19 -

- 20 -

Prepare a Schedule 2K-1 for each individual or entity that was a beneficiary during the estate’s or trust’s taxable year. Include a copy
of each beneficiary’s Schedule 2K-1 with the Form 2 filed with the department. Keep a copy as part of the estate’s or trust’s records
and give each beneficiary their own separate copy.

Exceptions A Schedule 2K-1 need not be prepared for a Wisconsin resident beneficiary if there are no differences between federal
and Wisconsin income, deductions, gains or losses and there are no Wisconsin credits or withholding to be reported. Schedule 2K-1
need not be prepared for nonresident beneficiaries if the income, deductions, etc., distributed are not from Wisconsin sources and
there are no Wisconsin credits to be reported. Income from Wisconsin sources includes:
• Wages, salaries, commissions, and other income for personal services performed in Wisconsin.
• Rents and royalties from tangible property located in Wisconsin, such as land, buildings, and machinery.
• Gains or losses from sales or other dispositions of tangible property located in Wisconsin, such as land, buildings, and machinery.
• Profits or losses from businesses, professions, and farm operations conducted in Wisconsin, including sole proprietorships, part-
nerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), and tax-option (S) corporations.
• Income from the Wisconsin state lottery, a multijurisdictional lottery if the winning lottery ticket or lottery share was purchased from
a Wisconsin retailer, or pari-mutuel wager winnings and purses.
• Winnings from a casino or bingo hall located in Wisconsin and operated by a Native American tribe or band.

On each Schedule 2K-1, enter the name and federal identification number of the estate or trust. Also enter the beneficiary’s identifying
number (social security number for individuals), name, and address and the fiduciary’s name and address in the appropriate spaces.

Column b. Federal Amount – Enter the applicable amount from federal Schedule K-1.
Exception If the federal amount was computed using a provision of federal law that Wisconsin doesn’t follow, you must first complete
Schedule B on Form 2, page 4. See the instructions for lines 1 through 9 of Schedule 2K-1 for more information.

Column c. Adjustment – Enter the amount of any additions or subtractions from federal income (modifications and any other
adjustments) made to arrive at the amount of any item of estate or trust income, deduction, etc., reportable under Wisconsin law.

Column d. Wisconsin Amount – Enter the amount of total income under Wisconsin law. Combine the amount in column b with any
adjustment in column c and enter the result in column d.

Column e. Wisconsin Source Amount – For nonresident or part-year Wisconsin residents only. Fill in the Wisconsin source amount
of the beneficiary’s portion in column d that is attributable to Wisconsin.

Note Unless considered business income subject to apportionment under sec. 71.04, Wis. Stats., intangible income of an estate or
trust, such as interest and dividends, and gains and losses resulting from the sale of intangible property such as stocks, bonds, and
securities which are distributable or distributed to a nonresident individual beneficiary are not taxable by Wisconsin because the
income follows the residence of the individual.

Caution Do not fill in column e for a beneficiary who is a full-year resident of Wisconsin.

Note Wisconsin follows the final treasury regulations from the IRS under TD 9918, as they relate to the secs. 67(e) and 642(h), IRC,
for determining the character, amount and allocation of deductions in excess of gross income succeeded to by a beneficiary on the
termination of an estate or non-grantor trust for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Line Instructions
Lines 1 through 9. Enter in column b the amount from federal Schedule K-1.

Exception If an item is computed under a provision of federal law that cannot be used for Wisconsin purposes, enter in column b the

amount reported in column b in column c and zero in column d. If the beneficiary is an estate or trust, the amount to enter in column c
is determined as explained earlier in these instructions under “Column c. Adjustment.”

Note Wisconsin follows final treasury regulations from the IRS under TD 9918, as they relate to sec. 67(e) and 642(h), IRC for determining
the character, amount, and allocation of deduction in excess of gross income, succeeded to by a beneficiary on the termination of an
estate or non-grantor trust for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Line 12. Wisconsin does not have an alternative minimum tax for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

Estates and trusts fill in column (b) with the amount from federal Schedule K-1. Do not report any amounts under columns (c), (d), and (e).

Line 13. If any portion of an amount entered in column b as “Tax-exempt interest” is taxable for Wisconsin purposes, enter it as a
subtraction in column c. The amount in column d is the amount of tax-exempt interest for Wisconsin purposes.

Lines 14a and 14b. Enter the beneficiary’s share of related entity expenses required to be added to Wisconsin income and allowed
to be subtracted from Wisconsin income.

Lines 15a through 15i. Enter the amount of credit allocable to the beneficiary and the name of the schedule the credit is from (TC,

Form 2 “Tax Computation” instructions for lines 7 and 15, or the Schedule ESBT instructions for reporting requirements of ESBT
credits.

Line 15j. Enter the withholding tax paid by the estate or trust on behalf of a nonresident beneficiary, as reported on Form PW-1.
Do not include other types of withholding received, including withholding from Forms 1099-R, W-2, and W2-G. If a nonresident
beneficiary claims exemption from withholding because they are an exempt entity, include a copy of the exemption statement with
the Form 2 filed with the department.

If the estate or trust is a member of another entity that withheld Wisconsin income tax from that entity’s income that is passed through
to the trust’s or estate’s beneficiaries, also include that tax withheld in column d.

Line 16. For each of columns d and e, combine lines 1 through 8. From the result, subtract line 9. Add or subtract, as appropriate,
any income or deductions reported on line 13 that affect the computation of taxable income.

                                 TIPS ON FILING FORM 2

E-file Form 2 for the fastest processing available. 

Form 2 may be filed electronically using modernized e-file software. See Third-Party Software for Fiduciary, 
Estate and Trust e-File Returns on the department’s website.

However, if you do paper file, there are several things you can do that will speed-up processing.

Paper returns are electronically scanned. The processing of the return (and any refund) is delayed when 
the return cannot be read correctly. To aid in the scanning process, be sure to do the following when 
completing Form 2:

•  Do not submit photocopies to the department. Photocopies can cause unreadable entries.

•  Use BLACK INK.  Pencils, colored ink, and markers do not scan well.

•  Write name and address information clearly using BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS like this:  A B C D ...

•  NEVER USE COMMAS OR DOLLAR SIGNS. They can be misread when scanned.
 
•  Round off amounts to WHOLE DOLLARS  –  NO CENTS.

•  Do not use parentheses  (   )  for a negative number.  Use a negative sign,  -8300 rather than (8300).

•  Print your numbers like this:                                         Do not use:

•  Do not add cents in front of the preprinted zeros on entry lines.

•  Do not cross out entries.  Erase or start over.

•  Do not write in the margins.

•  Always put entries on the lines, do not write to the side, above, or below the line.

•  Lines where no entry is required should be left blank. Do not fill in zeros.

•  Do not draw vertical lines in entry fields. They can be read as a “1” when scanned.

•  If mailing more than one Form 2 at a time, use colored separator sheets in between returns.

•  Do not use staples when assembling Form 2 and enclosures.
