For example, if filing for this credit and you are a Wisconsin resident: "If you do qualify for a credit, you may be required to submit a copy of your 2017 property tax bill (if you owned and occupied your home) or an original rent certificate signed by your landlord (if you rented your home) along with your Schedule H or H-EZ. The filing deadline for a 2017 claim is April 15, 2022, for most claimants. Do not file your 2017 Schedule H or H-EZ before January 1, 2018."
What should I do if I already filed my Wisconsin income tax return and now want to file my homestead credit claim? What should I attach to my separately filed homestead credit claim?
"If you previously filed your Wisconsin income tax return and now wish to file a claim for homestead credit, you should write "Income Tax Return Separately Filed" on the top of your Schedule H or H-EZ. Before mailing your Schedule H or H-EZ, attach the following behind your claim:"
- Your completed 2017 rent certificate(s) and/or a copy of your 2017 property tax bill(s).
- Other homestead credit notes, schedules, or legal documents.
- Schedule GL, Gain or Loss on the Sale of Your Home, if you sold your principal residence during 2017.
- Copies of any wage statements, Forms W-2, W-2G, 1099-R, and 1098-T.
Delays to your refund will happen if all the proper documents are not attached to your Homestead Credit claim.
