First thought is no, but you could have a one off situation. Maybe, if you have income from WI sources, you need to file a WI return. From WI non-resident instructions:
■ What is income from Wisconsin sources?
Income from Wisconsin sources includes:
• Wages, salaries, commissions, and other income for services performed in Wisconsin (see the exceptions under line 1 instructions on page 16).
• Rents and royalties from real or tangible property located in Wisconsin, such as land, buildings, and machinery.
• Gains or losses from sales or other dispositions of real or tangible property located in Wisconsin, such as land, buildings, and machinery.
• Profits or losses from businesses, professions, and farm operations conducted in Wisconsin, including sole proprietorships, trusts, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), and tax-option (S) corporations. For tax-option (S) corporations, this includes capital gains, interest, and dividends passed through from a tax-option (S) corporation that is engaged in business in Wisconsin.
• Income from the Wisconsin state lottery, a multijurisdictional lottery if the winning lottery ticket or lottery share was purchased from a Wisconsin retailer, or Wisconsin pari-mutuel wager winnings and purses. This includes all income realized from the sale of or purchase and subsequent sale or redemption of lottery prizes if the winning tickets were originally purchased in Wisconsin.
• Winnings from a casino or bingo hall located in Wisconsin and operated by a Native American tribe or band.
• Income derived from a covenant not to compete to the extent the covenant was based on a Wisconsin-based activity.
