2 Tips on Paper Filing Your Homestead Claim E-file your homestead claim for the fastest available processing. However, if you do paper file, there are several things you can do that will speed-up the processing of your claim. Faster processing means faster refunds. Paper homestead claims are electronically scanned. The processing of the claim (and any refund) is delayed when the claim cannot be read correctly. To aid in the scanning process, be sure to do the following when completing Schedule H or H-EZ: • Do not submit photocopies to the department. Photocopies can cause unreadable entries. • Use BLACK INK. Pencils, colored ink, and markers do not scan well. Claimant’s legal last name Legal first name M.I. • Write your name and address clearly SMITH JOSEPH J using CAPITAL LETTERS like this Spouse’s legal last name Spouse’s legal first name M.I. SMITH MARY E Current home address (number and street) Apt. no. • Do not include a lot number or suite number 2375 N 7 ST LOT 8 as an apartment number. These should be City or post office State Zip code included as part of the street address. ANYWHERE WI 55555 • 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. Enter numbers as shown below. 13 Homeowners – Net 2024 property taxes on your homestead, whether paid or not .............. 13 .00 14 Renters–Rent from your rent certificate(s), line 8a (or Shared Living Expenses Schedule) .

4 General Instructions A. Do You Qualify? To see if you qualify for homestead credit, answer “Yes” or “No” to all of the questions in Steps 1 and 2 below. Step 1 If you answer “No” to any question in Step 1, do not complete Schedule H or H-EZ; you do not qualify for homestead credit. If you answer “Yes” to all the questions, go on to Step 2. a. Do you (or your spouse, if married) meet one of the following qualifications? 1. Are age 62 or older as of December 31, 2024 (in order to meet this qualification you must be the claimant)? 2. Are disabled and you (or your spouse, if married, and are the claimant) meet the definition (#2) given in section F. Definitions? 3. Have earned income (see section F. Definitions, #4)? b. Were you (or your spouse, if married) age 18 or older as of December 31, 2024 (in order to meet this qualifi- cation you must be the claimant)? c. Were you a legal resident of Wisconsin from January 1 through December 31 of 2024? d. Was your household income (see section F. Definitions, #11) for 2024 less than $24,680? e. Were you the owner or renter of the Wisconsin homestead (see section F. Definitions, #9) you lived in during 2024? Step 2 If you answer “Yes” to any question in Step 2, do not complete Schedule H or H-EZ; you do not qualify for homestead credit. a. Were you claimed or will you be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2024 federal income tax return? (If you were age 62 or older on December 31, 2024, this limitation does not apply to you, so answer “No.”) b. Are you currently living in a nursing home and also receiving Title XIX medical assistance? c. For each month of the entire 2024 year, did you receive either Wisconsin Works (W2) payments (see section F. Definitions, #12) of any amount or county relief payments of $400 or more? d. Did you live FOR THE ENTIRE 2024 YEAR in housing that is exempt from property taxes? (A municipal housing authority property created under sec. 66.1201, Wis. Stats., is not considered tax-exempt for homestead credit purposes if that authority makes payments in lieu of property taxes to the city or town in which it is located. If you live in public housing, you may wish to check with your manager.) Note: If you are claiming property taxes on your former homestead and meet the requirement under paragraph 8 on page 20 under “Exceptions: Homeowners and/or Renters”, this limitation does not apply, so answer “No.” e. Have you claimed or will you claim a Wisconsin farmland preservation credit for 2024 or a veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit based on your 2024 property taxes (payable in 2025)? f. Has another member of your household (see section F. Definitions, #10) filed a 2024 Schedule H or H-EZ? g. Is the Schedule H or H-EZ being filed on behalf of a person who is deceased? If you answered “Yes” to all of the questions in Step 1 and “No” to all of the questions in Step 2, complete Sched- ule H or H-EZ (see “Which Schedule to File” on page 4) to see if homestead credit is available to you. Meeting all of the qualifications in Steps 1 and 2 does not guarantee you will receive a homestead credit. B. Which Schedule to File You may file Schedule H-EZ if: • You (and your spouse, if married) have taxable and nontaxable income only from the following sources: 1. Wages, salaries, tips, etc. (if any of your wages, salaries, tips, etc., are not taxable to Wisconsin, you cannot file on Schedule H-EZ) |
General Instructions 5 2. Interest and dividends 3. Unemployment compensation 4. Pensions, annuities, and other retirement plan distributions 5. Social security benefits (including federal and state SSI, SSI-E, SSD, and caretaker supplement payments) 6. Railroad retirement benefits 7. Alimony, child support, and family maintenance 8. Wisconsin Works (W2), county relief, kinship care, and other cash public assistance 9. Gambling winnings (if your gambling winnings are reported on federal Schedule C or C-EZ, you cannot file on Schedule H-EZ) • During 2024 you (and your spouse, if married) did not repay any amount that was included as nontaxable house- hold income on a prior year’s homestead credit claim. • You did not become married or divorced during 2024. • If you are married, your spouse was a legal resident of Wisconsin from January 1 through December 31, 2024. • If you are married, you and your spouse did not maintain separate homes during any part of 2024 (including one spouse in a nursing home). • Your home was used only for personal purposes while you lived there in 2024 (for example, no rental or busi- ness use, or use of a separate unit by others rent free). • Your home was located on one acre of land or less. • You did not sell your home during 2024. If you cannot file on Schedule H-EZ, you must file on Schedule H. C. How, When, and Where to File 1. How If you file a Wisconsin income tax return, you should file your Schedule H or H-EZ with the tax return (paper clipped together if filing a paper return). Separate filing will delay your homestead refund. If you (or you and your spouse) are not required to file a tax return, Schedule H or H-EZ may be filed by itself. You may file Schedule H with Form 1 or 1NPR. You may file Schedule H-EZ with Form 1; you cannot file Schedule H-EZ with Form 1NPR. If you previously filed your Wisconsin income tax return, and are filing a paper return, write “Income Tax Return Separately Filed” at the top of Schedule H or H-EZ. Do not place a checkmark at the top of Schedule H or H-EZ to designate it as an amended return. Electronic Filing (e-filing) When you file electronically, within 48 hours after receiving your Wisconsin acknowledgment you must send all of the required Schedule H or H-EZ attachments along with a completed Form W-RA, Required Attachments for Electronic Filing, if you do not electronically attach the items to the claim. You may either mail the form and attachments to the address listed in the Form W-RA instructions or submit them electronically on our website at https://tap.revenue.wi.gov/WRA/. For additional information, see the department’s website at revenue.wi.gov or contact any department office. If you are not using a preparer or third-party software, you must use WisTax to file your homestead credit claim electronically. File your homestead credit claim electronically using our free, online system: https://tap.revenue. wi.gov/ScheduleH. You can also visit our website at revenue.wi.gov and click on the Individuals tab for more information. This system is available to all Schedule H claimants, except claimants: • With more than four rent certificates • With more than one property tax bill with 5 adjoining parcels • Who were divorced in tax year 2024 • Who live in a nursing home • Who are completing Schedules 2, 3, or 4 on Schedule H |
6 General Instructions If any of these exceptions apply to you, you cannot use WisTax to file your homestead credit claim. In addition, you may only use WisTax to file your 2024 homestead credit claim if the income you have to report on Schedule H or H-EZ is limited to the following: • Wisconsin income from your 2024 income tax return (line 7 of Schedule H or line 4 of Schedule H-EZ) • Wages, interest, and dividends (line 8a of Schedule H or line 5a of Schedule H-EZ) • Other taxable income (line 8b of Schedule H or line 5b of Schedule H-EZ) • Medical and long-term care insurance subtraction (line 8c of Schedule H or line 5c of Schedule H-EZ) • Unemployment compensation (line 9a of Schedule H or line 6a of Schedule H-EZ) • Social security or federal and state SSI, SSI-E, SSD, and CTS payments (line 9b of Schedule H or line 6b of Schedule H-EZ) • Pensions and annuities (line 9d of Schedule H or line 6d of Schedule H-EZ) • Child support, maintenance payments, and other support money (line 9i of Schedule H or line 6h of Schedule H-EZ) If you have income which should be reported on other lines of Schedule H or H-EZ, you cannot use WisTax to file your claim. In addition, you may not file both Form 1 and Schedule H or H-EZ together using WisTax. They must be filed separately. 2. When For most claimants, the deadline for filing a 2024 Schedule H or H-EZ is April 15, 2029. If you are a tax- payer with a fiscal year (one ending on a date other than December 31), the deadline is 4 years, from the 15th day of the 4th month after the end of the fiscal year to which the claim relates. Do not file your 2024 Schedule H or H-EZ before January 1, 2025. Note: If a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, use the next business day. 3. Where If you are not filing electronically, mail Schedule H or H-EZ with your Wisconsin income tax return to: Wisconsin Department of Revenue PO Box 34 Madison WI 53786-0001 D.

Refunds of Divorced Claimants If you became divorced after June 20, 1996, and your divorce judgment states that your former spouse must pay a tax liability owed to the Department of Revenue, attach a copy of the divorce judgment to Schedule H or H-EZ. Also fill in “04” in the Special Conditions box located to the right of where your zip code is entered on Schedule H or H-EZ. This will prevent your refund from being applied against that tax liability. |
General Instructions 7 F. Definitions 1. Age If your birthday falls on January 1, you are considered to be a year older as of December 31, 2024. Example: If you were born on January 1, 1960, you are considered to be age 65 as of December 31, 2024. 2. Disabled An individual who is unable to engage in any substantial gainful employment by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment which has lasted or is reasonably expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. If you are disabled, you are required to verify you meet the definition of disabled by enclosing one of the following: a. Physician’s Statement – A statement from your physician which states the beginning date of the disability and that you meet the definition of disabled, as described above. b. Veteran’s Statement – A statement from the Veteran’s Administration certifying that the claimant is receiving a disability benefit due to 100 percent disability. c. Social Security Administration Document – A document or copy of a document from the Social Security Administration stating the date the disability began. 3. Disqualified Loss The sum of the following amounts: a. Net loss from sole proprietorships b. Net capital loss c. Net loss from sales of business property, excluding loss from involuntary conversions d. Net loss from rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, tax-option (S) corporations, trusts, estates, and real estate mortgage investment conduits e. Net farm loss This does not include net profits or net gains from the sale or exchange of capital or business assets. Example: You have two partnerships reported on federal Schedule E. Partnership A reports a net profit of $35,000 on line 28(k) of federal Schedule E. Partnership B reports a net loss of ($15,000) on line 28(i) of federal Schedule E. The amount of disqualified loss added back to household income is $15,000. 4. Earned Income Wages, salaries, tips, other employee compensation, and net earnings from self-employment. Caution: “Earned Income” does not include unemployment compensation. Example 1: You have $15,000 of wages and ($6,000) of net earnings from self-employment. Your total earned income would be $9,000. Example 2: You have $5,000 of wages and ($8,000) of net earnings from self-employment. Your total earned income would be less than zero. Therefore, unless you were over the age of 61, as of December 31, 2024, or disabled, you would not qualify to claim the homestead credit. Note: The optional method of computing net earnings from self-employment qualifies as earned income for purposes of qualifying for the homestead credit. 5. Farm A farm is property used for agricultural purposes. Your homestead generally is considered part of a farm if the current or most recent use of the property while owned by you was for agricultural purposes. 6. Farmer A farmer is any person engaged in farming. 7. Farming The operation of farm premises owned or rented by the operator. 8. Farm Premises Areas used for operations of: a. Planting and cultivating of the soil. b. Raising and harvesting of agricultural, horticultural, or arboricultural crops. c. Raising, breeding, tending, training, and management of livestock, bees, poultry, fur-bearing animals, wildlife or aquatic life, or their products. |
8 General Instructions d. The processing; drying; packing; packaging; freezing; grading; storing; delivering to storage, to market, or to a carrier for transportation to market; distributing directly to consumer; or marketing any of the above- named commodities, substantially all of which have been planted or produced. e. The clearing of such premises and the salvaging of timber and management and use of wood thereafter, but not including logging, lumbering, or wood cutting operations unless conducted as an accessory to other farming operations. f. The managing, conserving, improvement, and maintaining of such farm premises or the tools, equipment, and improvements thereafter and the exchange of labor, services, or the exchange of use of equipment with other farmers in pursuing such activities. For any person deriving their principal income from farming, the operation of farm machinery in performing farming services for other farmers for a consideration, other than exchange of labor, shall be deemed farming if it does not exceed 30 days during 2024. This operation shall be deemed to include any other activities commonly considered to be farming whether conducted on or off such premises by the farm operator. Note: Areas used for operations do not include other areas, greenhouses, or other similar structures unless used principally for the production of food and farm plants. 9. Homestead Your homestead is the Wisconsin home you occupy, whether you own it or rent it, and up to one acre of land adjoining it (or up to 120 acres of land if the homestead is part of a farm). For example, it may be a house, an apartment, a rented room, a mobile or manufactured home, a farm, or a nursing home room. Unless your homestead is part of a farm, it does not include any part that is used for business or rental purposes where a deduction is allowed or allowable for federal tax purposes, or a separate unit occupied by others rent free. 10. Household A household is a claimant and the claimant’s spouse living in the claimant’s homestead. If you are single, you are a household, whether you live alone or with others. If you are married, you and your spouse are a household if you live together. If you are married but you and your spouse maintained separate homes on December 31, 2024, you are each considered a separate household. 11. Household Income Household income is all your income reportable for Wisconsin income tax purposes and all the items identified on lines 9a through 11j of Schedule H (lines 6a through 6i of Schedule H-EZ), less a deduction of $500 for each qualifying dependent. If you were married and lived with your spouse during all of 2024, you must combine both incomes to determine household income. If during 2024 you were separated from your spouse for all or part of the year (including one spouse living in a nursing home), you became married or divorced, or your spouse died, see the “Special Instructions” on pages 22 through 24 for information on how to determine household income. 12. Wisconsin Works (W2) Payment A Wisconsin Works or “W2” payment is a payment received under the Wisconsin Works assistance program for participating in a community service job or a transitional placement, or as a caretaker of a newborn child. Amounts received under the Wisconsin Works program for trial jobs are taxable wages and are not included in the definition of Wisconsin Works (W2) payment for homestead credit purposes. Amounts received for job access loans, health care coverage, child care subsidies, and transportation assistance are also not included in the definition, and are not includable in household income. G. Situations and Solutions Publication 127, Wisconsin Homestead Credit Situations and Solutions, provides additional information about various situations covered in these instructions, as well as some situations that are not covered. Publication 127 is available through the department’s website at revenue.wi.gov. H. Filing Incorrect Claims If you file an incorrect claim for homestead credit due to negligence or fraud, you may be subject to penalties. Civil penalties can be as much as 100% of the difference between the credit claimed and the amount that should have been claimed. Criminal penalties include a fine up to $10,000 and imprisonment. |
General Instructions 9 Restrictions and penalties may apply to incorrect claims for refundable credits, including but not limited to, earned income credit, homestead credit, or the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit. If you file a credit claim that is reckless or with intentional disregard of the income tax law, one or both of the following may apply: (1) You may not be allowed to claim that credit and any other refundable credit for the next two tax years (2) You may be subject to a penalty equal to 25% of the difference between the credit claimed on your return and the credit as properly calculated If you file a credit claim that is false or excessive and filed with fraudulent intent, one or both of the following may apply: (1) You may not be allowed to claim that credit and any other refundable credit for the next ten years (2) You may be subject to a penalty equal to 100% of the difference between the credit claimed on your return and the credit as properly calculated I. Amending Schedule H or H-EZ If you find that you made an error on your original Schedule H or H-EZ, fill in another Schedule H or H-EZ. Place a checkmark where indicated at the top of your corrected Schedule H or H-EZ to designate it as an amended return. Fill in lines 1a through 19 (lines 1a through 14 of Schedule H-EZ) using the corrected amounts of household income, property taxes, and rent. Include with your amended Schedule H or H-EZ a copy of the property tax bill(s) and/or the original rent certifi- cate(s) for any additional property taxes and/or rent that is claimed. If filing a paper return, send these documents with your return or with Form W-RA, if filing electronically. Note: You may be able to electronically file an amended homestead credit claim through your third-party software package. The department’s electronic filing software, WisTax, does not support filing amended claims.

If you owe an additional amount, include your check or money order, made payable to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

If married, fill in spouse’s age as of December 31, 2024, on line 1b. If either you or your spouse, if married, are age 62 or older as of December 31, 2024, you do not need to answer questions 1c or 1d. Question 1c If the answers to questions 1a and 1b are both under age 62, answer question 1c. If you answer 1c “yes”, you do not need to answer question 1d. Note: Only one spouse must meet the definition of disabled to qualify for the homestead credit. The spouse that meets this definition must be the claimant. Question 1d If the answer to question 1c is “no”, answer question 1d. If you and your spouse are under age 62 as of December 31, 2024, you and your spouse are not disabled, and you and your spouse do not have earned income, you do not qualify for the homestead credit. Note: Only one spouse must have earned income to qualify for the homestead credit. The spouse that meets this definition must be the claimant. Question 2 You are not a full-year legal Wisconsin resident if you moved here from another state after January 1, 2024, moved out of the state before January 1, 2025, or if you moved here from another state for educational purposes only and have not abandoned your other state’s residence. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you are not a legal Wisconsin resident unless (1) you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States (have been issued a green card or permanent residence card), a refugee, or have been granted asylum, and (2) you intend to remain permanently and indefinitely in Wisconsin. Question 4b It is not necessary to answer question 4b unless 4a is answered “Yes.” Question 5 If you became married or divorced during 2024, check “Yes.” Fill in the date and place a checkmark in front of the word “married” or “divorced.” See the “Special Instructions” on pages 23 and 24. Question 6a It is not necessary to answer question 6a if you were not married during any part of 2024. If one spouse was in a nursing home during 2024, you are considered to be maintaining separate homes, so answer “Yes” to question 6a. Question 6b If this applies to you, refer to the “Special Instructions” on pages 22 and 23 for additional information. n Lines 7 Through 12 – Household Income These instructions apply if during all of 2024 you were single or married and living with your spouse. If during 2024 you were separated, you became married or divorced, or your spouse died, read the applicable “Special Instructions” on pages 22 through 24 before you complete lines 7 through 12. |
Line Instructions 11 Line 7 (Line 4 of Schedule H-EZ) – Income from Tax Return Fill in line 7 (line 4 of Schedule H-EZ) only if you or you and your spouse are filing or have already filed a 2024 Wisconsin income tax return. If you were married and lived with your spouse all year but file separate income tax returns, fill in the income from both of your tax returns. If you are filing your tax return with Schedule H or H-EZ, first complete the income portion of your tax return. Fill in the income from line 7 of Form 1 or line 30 of Form 1NPR, on line 7 (line 4 of Schedule H-EZ). Exception: If you are filing Form 1NPR and line 29, column B, is more than line 16, column B, subtract line 29 from line 16. Fill in the result on line 7 as a negative number. If you or you and your spouse have already filed your 2024 Wisconsin income tax return, see page 5, Part C.1, paragraph 3. If you fill in line 7 (line 4 of Schedule H-EZ), do NOT fill in line 8a, 8b, or 8c (line 5a, 5b, or 5c of Schedule H-EZ). Note: If scholarship or fellowship income was included in household income in a prior year, any portion of that income included on line 7 of your 2024 Schedule H may be subtracted on line 9h. Enter the amount of the sub- traction as a negative number. Line 8 (Line 5 of Schedule H-EZ) – Income – No Tax Return Fill in lines 8a, 8b, and 8c (lines 5a, 5b, and 5c of Schedule H-EZ) only if you or you and your spouse are not filing a 2024 Wisconsin income tax return. If you were married and lived with your spouse all year, fill in all of the income of both spouses. If you lived with your spouse for only part of the year, see the “Special Instructions” on pages 22 and 23. Line 8a (line 5a of Schedule H-EZ) Fill in the amount of wages, interest (including funeral trust interest), and dividends that are taxable to Wisconsin in the spaces provided. Fill in the total of these amounts on line 8a (line 5a of Schedule H-EZ).

Attach a schedule explaining the sources of income and the amount from each source. Qualified Wisconsin retirement income subtraction If you (and/or your spouse if married filing a joint return) were 65 years of age or older on December 31, 2024, and your federal adjusted gross income is less than $15,000 ($30,000 if married filing a joint return or, if married filing a separate return, the sum of both spouses’ federal adjusted gross income must be less than $30,000), you may deduct up to $5,000 of your qualified retirement income for Wisconsin purposes. If both spouses were 65 years of age or older, each spouse may deduct up to $5,000 of qualified retirement income. Do not include this amount on line 8b (line 5b of Schedule H-EZ). Instead, this amount should be included on line 9d (line 6d of Schedule H-EZ). Line 8c (line 5c of Schedule H-EZ) If you have income reportable on line 8 (line 5 of Schedule H-EZ) and paid for medical care insurance (including Medicare insurance deducted from your social security benefits and Medicare Supplemental insurance) or long-term care insurance in 2024, you may be able to claim a deduction for all or a portion of these costs: 1) Complete the worksheet below. If you purchased your medical care insurance through an Exchange (Market- place), the amount you paid is the amount paid after your premium was reduced for any advance payment of the premium assistance credit. |

Amount you paid for long-term care insurance in 2024 ............................... 2. 3. Add lines 1 and 2 ........................................................... 3. 4. Sum of lines 8a and 8b on Schedule H (lines 5a and 5b on Schedule H-EZ) .............. 4. 5. Smaller of line 3 or line 4. This is your subtraction ................................... 5. 2) The amount from line 5 of the worksheet above may be claimed against taxable income reported on line 8 of Schedule H (line 5 of Schedule H-EZ). Enter as a negative amount on line 8c of Schedule H (line 5c of Schedule H-EZ. Example 1 : You received $500 of taxable interest, $10,000 of gross social security benefits, and a $2,000 pension distribution in 2024. Medicare Part B premiums of $1,735 were deducted from the social security benefits received. As you were at least age 65 at the end of 2024, you are allowed a subtraction from Wisconsin income for the pension distribution (see the 2024 Schedule SB instructions for additional information concerning the retirement income subtraction). You elect to take a pension distribution subtraction of $765 in order to claim the full amount of the medical care insurance subtraction. Enter “500” on line 8a (line 5a of Schedule H-EZ), “1235” on line 8b (line 5b of Schedule H-EZ), “-1735” on line 8c (line 5c of Schedule H-EZ), “10000” on line 9b (line 6b of Schedule H-EZ) and “765” on line 9d (line 6d of Schedule H-EZ). Example 2 : You had $2,000 of self-employment income, $141 of self-employment tax deduction, $100 of inter est income, and $6,000 of railroad retirement benefits. You paid $3,000 in medical insurance premiums for the year. Enter “100” on line 8a (line 5a of Schedule H-EZ). Enter “1859” ($2,000 less $141 of self-employment tax deduction) on line 8b (line 5b of Schedule H-EZ). Enter “-1959” on line 8c (line 5c of Schedule H-EZ). Since your medical care insurance subtraction is limited to your taxable income, you may not claim the full amount of medical care insurance premiums paid for the year. Enter “6000” on line 9c of Schedule H (line 6c of Schedule H-EZ). n Lines 9a Through 11j Fill in all nontaxable household income received in 2024 from any of the sources indicated. If you are married, combine the incomes of both spouses and fill in the totals for each category. Do not include amounts already included on line 7, 8a, 8b, or 8c (line 4, 5a, 5b, or 5c of Schedule H-EZ). Repaid amounts Nontaxable income that was included in household income in a prior year and was required to be repaid in 2024 may be subtracted from household income on your 2024 Schedule H. Subtract the amount repaid on the income line of Schedule H to which the repayment relates. Attach an explanation indicating the amount of the repayment and the year it was included on a homestead credit claim. If the subtraction results in a negative amount, fill in that amount as a negative number. For example, fill in neg - ative 500 as -500. Example: Your 2023 Schedule H reported $8,000 of social security benefits received in 2023. In 2024 you received social security benefits of $9,000 but were required to pay back $3,000 of the benefits you received in 2023. Fill in “6000” on line 9b of the 2024 Schedule H. This is the social security received in 2024 ($9,000) less the amount repaid ($3,000). Line 9a (6a of Schedule H-EZ) Unemployment compensation Fill in the total amount of unemployment compensation received in 2024 that is not already included on line 7 or 8b (line 4 or 5b of Schedule H-EZ). Both taxable and nontaxable unemployment compensation must be included in household income. |
Line Instructions 13 Line 9b (6b of Schedule H-EZ) Social security, SSI, SSI-E, SSD, and CTS Fill in the total amount (not the monthly amount) of social security benefits received in 2024. Include the premium amounts deducted for Medicare Parts A through D (generally, $174.70 per month, per person for Medicare Part B, unless Social Security advises of a different amount), and any social security death benefit ($255) received. Also fill in federal and state SSI (supplemental security income), SSI-E (supplemental security income – exceptional expense), SSD (social security disability), and CTS (caretaker supplement) payments ($275 per month for the first child and $165 per month per additional child). Do NOT include Title XX benefits (payments for services). Also do not include your children’s social security or SSI benefits, whether paid to them directly or to you on their behalf. If you or your spouse are age 65 or over and received no social security, SSI, or railroad retirement benefits in 2024, attach a note stating that you did not receive income from any of these sources. Line 9c (6c of Schedule H-EZ) Railroad retirement Fill in the total amount of railroad retirement benefits received in 2024. Include the premium amounts deducted for Medicare Parts A through D (generally, $174.70 per month, per person for Medicare Part B, unless the Railroad Retirement Board advises of a different amount.) If you or your spouse are age 65 or over and received no social security, SSI, or railroad retirement benefits in 2024, attach a note stating that you did not receive income from any of these sources. Line 9d (6d of Schedule H-EZ) Pensions and annuities, including IRA, SEP, SIMPLE, and qualified plan distributions Fill in the GROSS amount of ALL pensions and annuities received in 2024 and not included elsewhere. Include veterans’ pensions, disability payments, any amounts you contributed to a pension fund, and nontaxable IRA, SEP, SIMPLE, and qualified plan distributions. Both taxable and nontaxable amounts must be included in household income. Exceptions: Do not include nontaxable rollovers (amounts transferred from one retirement plan to another) or tax-free Section 1035 insurance contract exchanges. If all or a part of a pension or annuity distribution in 2024 includes a rollover amount or a tax-free exchange, write “Rollover” or “Tax-Free Exchange” near line 9d (line 6d of Schedule H-EZ). Attach a copy of federal Form 1099-R. Example: In 2024, you received pension income of $3,500, $2,700 of which is taxable income and is included on line 7 (line 4 of Schedule H-EZ). No portion of the $3,500 was a rollover. Enter “800” ($3,500 - $2,700) on line 9d (line 6d of Schedule H-EZ). Note: Taxable rollovers or conversions from one retirement plan to another, such as from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, should have been included as income on your Wisconsin return and may not be subtracted in determining household income. Line 9e (6e of Schedule H-EZ) Contributions to deferred compensation plans Fill in contributions to deferred compensation plans that were excluded from income on the income tax return (do not include nondeductible contributions). Excluded deferred compensation is generally reported in box 12 of the wage and tax statement, Form W-2, preceded by the prefix D, E, F, G, H, S, or Y. Line 9f (6f of Schedule H-EZ) Contributions to IRA, self-employed SEP, SIMPLE, and qualified plans Fill in contributions to these plans that were deducted from income on the income tax return (do not include rollover contributions or nondeductible contributions).

Bill benefits, pay from duty in a combat zone, pay received by certain members of a reserve component of the armed forces, or active duty pay received by a member of the U.S. Armed Forces). Nontaxable pay from duty in a combat zone is generally reported in box 12 of the wage and tax statement, Form W-2, preceded by the prefix Q. Do not include student loans or amounts included elsewhere. Line 9i (6h of Schedule H-EZ) Child support, maintenance payments, and other support Fill in the total amount of any court ordered support payments received in 2024, including child support and family maintenance. Do not include foster care, voluntary support, or amounts included elsewhere. Note: For divorce or separation agreements executed after December 31, 2018, or for divorce or separation agree- ments ex ecuted on or before December 31, 2018, and modified after that date, alimony and separate maintenance payments are no longer included in federal adjusted gross income. Even though these payments are no longer taxable, they must be included in household income on line 9i (line 6h of Schedule H-EZ). Line 9j (6i of Schedule H-EZ) Wisconsin Works (W2), county relief, kinship care, and other cash public assistance Fill in the total amount of any Wisconsin Works (W2), county relief, kinship care, and other cash public assistance payments (such as adoption assistance and federal or state disaster grants) received in 2024.

Line 11b Workers’ compensation, income continuation, and loss of time insurance (for example, sick pay) Fill in the total amount received in 2024 from these sources. Nontaxable sick pay is generally reported in box 12 of the wage and tax statement, Form W-2, preceded by the prefix J. Line 11c Gain from sale of home Fill in the gain from the sale or exchange of a principal residence excluded for federal tax purposes. Attach Schedule GL, Gain or Loss on the Sale of Your Home, showing the computation of the gain (selling price minus adjusted basis minus expense of sale). CAUTION: Do not include nonrecognized gain from an involuntary conversion (for example, destruction or con- demnation) of a principal residence. Line 11d Other capital gains not taxable Include the capital gain exclusion on assets held more than one year, gain deferred or excluded on the sale of capital assets, plus any other nontaxable capital gains that are not reported elsewhere. Example: You reported net long-term capital gains of $3,000 on federal Schedule D. In computing Wisconsin taxable income, you subtracted $900 ($3,000 x 30%) of this gain. Enter “900” on line 11d. Line 11e Net operating loss carryforward or carryback and capital loss carryforward Fill in any net operating loss carryforward or capital loss carryforward (one incurred in a prior year and not used in that year to offset taxable income) or net operating loss carryback deducted in computing 2024 Wisconsin taxable income. |
Line Instructions 15 Line 11e Instructions - continued Example: You have a $2,000 capital loss carryforward from 2023 to 2024, and a $1,900 capital gain for 2024. On Schedule WD, you compute a $100 net capital loss deduction ($2,000 carryforward less $1,900 gain). Enter “2000” on line 11e (the $1,900 loss offset against capital gain, plus the $100 loss applied against other income). Line 11f Income of nonresident spouse or part-year resident spouse and nontaxable income from sources out- side Wisconsin Fill in the income of your nonresident or part-year resident spouse for the time you resided in the same homestead. Also fill in the income received from sources outside Wisconsin that was excluded from Wisconsin taxable income. Example: While a nonresident of Wisconsin, you sold property located outside Wisconsin on the installment basis. In 2024 you are a Wisconsin resident. The gain on the sale of the property sold while you were a nonres- ident is not taxable to Wisconsin. However, it must be included on line 11f. Resident manager’s rent reduction, clergy housing allowance, and nontaxable Native American income Fill in the amount that a resident manager’s rent is reduced in return for services, the nontaxable housing allowance provided to a member of the clergy, and nontaxable income of a Native American. Line 11g Partners, LLC members, and tax-option (S) corporation shareholders Fill in the distributive share of partnership, limited liability company (LLC), and tax-option (S) corporation depreciation, Section 179 expense, depletion, amortization, and intangible drilling costs. This information will not be on the reporting form (Schedule 3K-1 or 5K-1) that you receive from the partnership, LLC, or tax-option (S) corporation. It must be obtained either by contacting the partnership, LLC, or tax-option (S) corporation, or, if available to you, from the tax return of the partnership, LLC, or tax-option (S) corporation. If any amount included on line 11g is from an activity that produced a net loss, see the instructions for line 11j. If the partnership, LLC, or tax-option (S) corporation did not claim any of these expenses, write “None” in Part II of federal Schedule E, near the entity’s name. Line 11h Car or truck depreciation (standard mileage rate) If car or truck expenses were claimed using the standard mileage rate, 30¢ per mile is considered depreciation. Multiply the number of miles claimed by 30¢, and include that amount on line 11h. Write the number of miles next to the deduction on Schedule C, E, or F. Example: On a farm schedule you claimed automobile expenses, based on the standard mileage rate for 5,000 business miles. Enter “1500” on line 11h (5,000 miles x 30¢ = $1,500). Fill in “5000” next to the deduction on Schedule F. Exception: The 30¢ per mile income adjustment is not required for miles claimed after the adjusted basis of your car or truck reaches zero. If this applies to you, attach a note explaining the situation. If any amount included on line 11h is from an activity that produced a net loss, see the instructions for line 11j. Line 11i Other depreciation, Section 179 expense, depletion, amortization, and intangible drilling costs Fill in any depreciation, Section 179 expense, depletion, amortization, and intangible drilling costs claimed in computing Wisconsin taxable income, except amounts already filled in on line 11g or 11h. (See note below regarding actual car/truck expenses.) Example: You filed a 2024 Wisconsin income tax return and claimed $1,500 of depreciation on federal Schedule F. Enter “1500” on line 11i. If any amount included on line 11i is from an activity that produced a net loss, see the instructions for line 11j. |
16 Line Instructions Line 11i Instructions - continued Note: If car or truck expenses were claimed on federal Schedule C, C-EZ, E, or F using the actual expense method, depreciation would be claimed on the depreciation line and would be included on line 11i. In this case, write “actual” next to the car/truck expense line on Schedule C, E, or F, or near where the total number of busi- ness miles are reported on Schedule C-EZ. Line 11j Disqualified Losses Fill in any disqualified losses (see section F. Definitions, #3) reported on your Wisconsin income tax return that were included in your Wisconsin income on line 7 or 8b of Schedule H. To determine the amount of disqualified losses to fill in on line 11j, complete Schedule 4 on page 4 of Schedule H. The amount from line 13 of Schedule 4 should be filled in on line 11j. When figuring the amount of disqualified losses to be added back to household income, consider each busi- ness individually. Do not net a business with a gain against a business with a loss to figure the amount of loss to add back to household income. Example 1: You have two sole proprietorships reported as separate businesses on federal Schedule C. Business A reports a net profit of $20,000 on line 31 of federal Schedule C. Business B reports a net loss of ($30,000) on line 31 of federal Schedule C. The amount of disqualified loss to be reported on line 2 of Schedule 4, on page 4 of Schedule H, is $30,000. Example 2: You reported two rental properties on federal Schedule E. Rental Property A has a net profit of $15,000 on line 21 of federal Schedule E. Rental Property B has a net loss of ($26,000) on line 22 of federal Schedule E. You must report $26,000 as the add-back for disqualified losses on line 4 of Schedule 4, on page 4 of Schedule H. If your loss is limited due to the passive activity loss limitation, only add back the amount of loss reported for each activity (e.g. rental property or partnership) in computing Wisconsin income. Any passive activity loss suspended in a prior year and deducted in 2024 is treated as a separate disqualified loss and is not netted with any income or gain during the year from that activity. If you reported any depreciation, Section 179 expense, depletion, amortization, or intangible drilling costs on line 11g, 11h, or 11i that was included in the amount of net losses reported on lines 2 through 10 of Schedule 4, these amounts are not included in the total disqualified losses to be added back. Report these amounts on line 12 of Schedule 4. Example 3: You reported $15,000 on line 11i that included depreciation of $10,000 from a sole proprietorship that generated a loss of ($40,000), and depreciation of $5,000 from a rental real estate activity that produced a profit of $20,000. Report $40,000 on line 2 of Schedule 4 and $10,000 of depreciation on line 12 of Schedule 4. If your primary income was from farming, and the farming generated less than $250,000 in gross receipts in 2024, you do not have to complete Schedule 4 on page 4 of Schedule H. Your net losses do not have to be added back. See section F. Definitions, #6, 7, and 8. Your primary income is from farming if your gross income from farming for the year is greater than 50 percent of your total gross income from all sources for the year. Gross income from farming is the amount of your gross receipts from farming without reduction for cost of goods sold, expenses, or any other amounts. Example 4: Your farming activity produced gross receipts of $50,000 and a net loss of ($10,000) and you had wages of $8,000. Your primary income is from farming and, therefore, you qualify for the exclusion. You do not have to add back your disqualified loss on line 11j. Example 5: Your sole proprietorship produced a profit of $25,000. Your farming activity produced gross receipts of $10,000 and a net loss of ($20,000). Your primary income is from your sole proprietorship and, therefore, you do not qualify for the exclusion. You must add back your disqualified loss on line 11j. |
Line Instructions 17 n Lines 12a Through 12c – Total Household Income Line 12a (7a of Schedule H-EZ) Fill in the total of lines 11a through 11j (lines 6a through 6i of Schedule H-EZ). If the amount on line 12a (line 7a of Schedule H-EZ) is less than your rent or property taxes, attach a note explaining how you paid your rent or property taxes and your other living expenses (food, utilities, clothing, etc.). If you received loans (including student loans) or gifts, indicate the approximate amount received, but do not include these in household income. Line 12b (7b of Schedule H-EZ) You may claim a “dependent deduction” by filling in the number of “qualifying dependents” and multiplying that number by $500. A qualifying dependent is a person who: a) is or may be claimed as a dependent on your federal income tax return; and b) occupied your (the claimant’s) homestead for more than six months during 2024. A dependent is considered to have occupied your homestead during temporary absences for reasons such as school, illness, or vacations. The six-month occupancy requirement is considered to have been met if: a) the dependent was born or died during 2024 and occupied your homestead during the entire time he or she lived in 2024; or b) during 2024 the dependent was adopted by you, was placed with you for adoption, or became your stepchild, and he or she oc- cupied your homestead from that date to the end of 2024. Caution: The term “dependent” does NOT include you or your spouse. Do not count yourself or your spouse in the number you fill in on line 12b (line 7b of Schedule H-EZ). Line 12c (7c of Schedule H-EZ) Subtract the amount on line 12b (line 7b of Schedule H-EZ) from the amount on line 12a (line 7a of Schedule H-EZ). Fill in the result on line 12c (line 7c of Schedule H-EZ). This is your total household income. If you or your spouse are age 65 or over and received no social security, SSI, or railroad retirement benefits in 2024, attach a note stating that you did not receive income from any of these sources. n Lines 13 Through 15 – Taxes and/or Rent If any of the four statements above line 13 apply to you, place a checkmark in the designated area(s) and, if applicable, refer to the schedule(s) on pages 3 and 4 of Schedule H. Line 13 (8 of Schedule H-EZ) – Homeowners If you or you and your spouse lived in your homestead during all of 2024 and were the sole owner(s), fill in on line 13 (line 8 of Schedule H-EZ) the net property taxes from your 2024 property tax bill(s) (payable in 2025 – the taxes do not have to be paid to claim the credit). “Net property taxes” means the net taxes after state aids, school tax credits, the first dollar credit, and the lottery and gaming credit (if applicable). Net property taxes do NOT include special assessments or charges, delinquent interest, or woodland, forest croplands, or managed forest land taxes. Attach (paper clip) to your Schedule H or H-EZ a legible copy of the 2024 property tax bill(s) (payable in 2025) for your homestead, or a computer printout obtained either directly from the county or municipal treasurer or from their website. If you file electronically, mail the property tax bill or computer printout, not the summary generated by the software, with Form W-RA, attach them electronically to the homestead credit claim (if permitted by the software), or submit them electronically on our website at https://tap.revenue.wi.gov/WRA/. Also, a mortgage statement, canceled check, installment tax stub, or money order receipt cannot be accepted. The property tax bill copy or computer printout must show the year, name of the owner(s), assessed value of land and improvements, legal description or property address, and taxes before and after state aids and credits. It must have lines for special assessments and the lottery and gaming credit. In certain cases you must reduce your net property taxes or attach additional information. Schedule H and H-EZ filers should see the exceptions on pages 18 through 20. |

It is not necessary to read all 5 Parts of the Special Instructions; refer only to the Part or Parts that pertain to your situation. In these instructions, “your own income” or “your own marital property income” means income or marital property income generated by your services and property. “Your spouse’s income” or “your spouse’s marital property income” means income or marital property income generated by your spouse’s services and property. For more information about Wisconsin’s marital property law or about other terms used in these instructions, such as “notification,” “marital property” income, “nonmarital property” income, and “individual property,” refer to Publication 109, Tax Information for Married Persons Filing Separate Returns and Persons Divorced in 2024, which is available on the department’s website at revenue.wi.gov. Part 1 Married but Separated ALL of 2024 (including one spouse in a nursing home) Income – a) Neither spouse notified the other of income – If you and your spouse were married but you lived apart during the entire year, and neither spouse notified the other of the amount and nature (type) of marital property income, report all of your own household income on Schedule H, and none of your spouse’s income. If your spouse was in a nursing home and you received a “community spouse income allowance” under the Spousal Impoverishment Program, that income is not includable in your household income. Answer “No” to question 6b on Schedule H. b) One or both spouses notified other spouse – If you and your spouse were married but you lived apart during the entire year, and either spouse (or both) notified the other of marital property income, compute household income as explained in Part 2.b.

If you did not notify your spouse, report all of your own marital property income. If you did notify your spouse, report one-half of your own marital property income. 2.
