Wisconsin Lottery and Gaming Credit

As the property owner, you are responsible for notifying the Wisconsin Department of Revenue whether or not you are entitled to receive the Lottery and Gaming Credit.  To be eligible for the credit, you are required to reside in the residence on January 1st of the tax year and cannot claim more than one credit per year.  

You are not longer eligible for the credit if it is no longer your primary residence, you lease or rent the property, or if it is vacant or sold.

If you find the error during tax season, you can download and complete the appropriate form and include it with your tax payment.  If you are making the change any other time you can use the state's online portal.  All options are available by visiting https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/Form/lottery-home.aspx.

You cannot use the lottery credit form to change your property address for tax purposes or utility payments.
