You have several options to file your state return, some of which won't cost you.
WisTax is the state's free software for filing state income taxes. It uses your My Tax Account profile.
If you opt for the IRS' Direct File program, federal form information will transfer into WisTax. You also won't need to attach forms like W-2s, 1099s or your federal return to state taxes.
The Department of Revenue recommends waiting until your federal return is accepted before beginning your Wisconsin return.
If your federal return gets rejected, you might have to update your state return, which can't be done through WisTax. In this case, you'd need to use third-party software, a paper form or find a tax professional.
Those who don't qualify for Direct File might still be eligible to use WisTax. You can view eligibility information on its website.

Biden's I.R.S. Doubled Audits on the Wealthy, Data Shows
It was a promise repeated many times by President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s administration: The Internal Revenue Service would conduct more audits of wealthy Americans, but audit rates would not rise for households earning less than $400,000 per year. Mr. Biden and the Democrats made that pledge as they bolstered funding for the I.R.S., hoping that more enforcement aimed at wealthy tax evaders would generate revenue to pay for climate and health care programs. Republican lawmakers warned that more money for the I.R.S. would lead to more audits across the board, and that middle-class taxpayers would be targeted. But new data released by the I.R.S. last week suggests that the agency upheld Mr. Biden's promise in 2024. With an audit rate of 0.8 percent, people making over $500,000 on their latest return were more than twice as likely to be audited compared with the same point in the audit cycle in previous years. Audit Rate of Returns Filed the Previous Year Calculations based on the I.R.S. audit rate of returns filed the previous year. The overall audit rate for recent years could change in the future, since the I.R.S. has three years to open audits. Source: I.R.S. Data Books By The New York Times Meanwhile, the matching audit rate for taxpayers making under $500,000 declined slightly. The figures covered 2022 tax returns that were filed in 2023 and audited during the 2024 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30. Note: Estimates are based on the 2019 tax year and reflect only closed audits. Numbers may change as more audits are completed. Tax rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. Includes both field and correspondence audits. Source: I.R.S. Annual Databook The New York Times Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
