MADISON, WI (WHBL) — The Wisconsin Department of Revenue has announced that the state’s tax season is officially open. In concert with the IRS, tax filing began Monday and will reach the deadline on Wednesday, April 15th.
Wisconsin Revenue Secretary Peter Barca said that last year just under 88 percent of state returns were filed electronically – a number Barca hopes someday reaches 100 percent because it’s secure, accurate and almost always results in a faster refund.
A free online e-file tool that does the math for you and allows direct deposit or bank account withdrawal is available on the Department of Revenue’s website. That site also lists free tax help sites and other helpful tools.
