Rent paid for the ground lease of your mobile home is not deductible on your federal tax return.
If the manufactured home is your principal residence (i.e. "homestead"), then the rent you pay you would qualify for the following Wisconsin tax credits:
School Property Tax Credit: Available if you paid rent during 2020 for living quarters that was used as your primary residence OR you paid property taxes on your home. Not available if you or your spouse claims the veterans and surviving spouses property credit.
Special conditions may apply. Visit the Wisconsin Instructions for more information.
Homestead Tax Credit: This credit is designed to provide relief to homeowners and renters. For more information pertaining to this credit, click here.
If you do qualify for a credit, you must submit a copy of your 2020 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.
