State tax filing

If you are filing as a nonresident, all WI income needs to be reported. If the tenant in your place made any payments, you would claim it as a rental with the income and expenses. Even if your B rental loss exceeds your A income, you need to file the WI return. For a single person, $2,000 of gross income requires you to file.

 

From WI FAQs:

Gross income means all income (before deducting expenses) reportable to Wisconsin. The income may be received in the form of money, property, or services.

 

 

If your house is in WI and you intend to return there, it sounds like you are a WI resident.  Here are some things states look at when determining residency from The Tax Book:

  • Registering to vote and voting in the new state.
  • Purchasing residential property.
  • Titling and registering vehicles.
  • Paying state income tax to another state
  • Notifying the state of previous legal residence/domicile of the change in state of legal residence/domicile.
  • Preparing a last will and testament which indicates the new state of legal residence/domicile
