After you file

It depends.  Wisconsin (WI) accepts the federal extension if you are approved by the IRS. 

 

Per the Wisconsin (WI) FAQs:

 

  1. Am I subject to interest or penalties if I don't file my Wisconsin income tax return by the due date?

If your 2023 individual income tax return is not filed by April 15, 2024, you may be subject to the following charges:

  • Late-filing fee: $50
  • Delinquent interest: 1.5% per month (18% per year).
    Note: During an extension period, interest is charged at 1% per month (12% per year) on any unpaid tax due
  • Negligence penalty for failure to timely file: 5% per month of the tax required to be shown on the return, up to a maximum of 25%
  1. Will I be assessed a late filing fee if I qualify for an extension of time to file?

Wisconsin allows a 180-day extension period (same as for federal tax). You will not be assessed a late filing fee if you file within the extension period. You may be assessed interest if tax is due.
