No, you'll use Form 1.  On this site you can see who can file using Form 1A vs. Form 1 in Wisconsin:  https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/ise-which.aspx#w2.  If you actually open the forms up: Form 1 and Form 1A, you'll notice that line 2 on each form states something different.  On Form 1A it states "interest", whereas on Form 1 it states "state and municipal interest", which includes bond interest.  Bond interest must use Wisconsin's "long form", Form 1 to be reported.
