SOUTH MILWAUKEE SCHOOL DISTRICT CODE

I am trying to do my state taxes for Wisconsin, but no matter what I enter for a school district code I get an error stating that it's an invalid code. I live in South Milwaukee and am using the correct code.

SOUTH MILWAUKEE SCHOOL DISTRICT CODE

The code for the South Milwaukee School District is 5439.

 

You can try a number of options to see if these fix an "invalid code" error.

 

1). Clear the "error" field.

  1. Delete the code entirely and leave the box blank. 
  2. Go to the next screen (just ignore any program "objections").
  3. Go back to the school district screen and try typing 5439 again.

2). Make sure you selected "City" for South Milwaukee.  If you accidentally selected "Town" or "Village," the software won't recognize "5439" as a valid match for that municipality type.

 

3). For TurboTax Online: Clear your browser cache and cookies (the software should pull the most recent validation rules from the server).  

 

Clear your Cache

 

Your browser stores recently visited webpages as temporary files in a cache, which enables the pages to load more quickly when revisited.

 

However, a full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, so sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).

Clear your Cookies

 

Cookies are small files that temporarily store data on your computer. We use them to personalize your experience so you see information you already entered and not items that are irrelevant or repetitive.

 

On rare occasions, they may make your browser think you already did something that you still need to do. To fix that, you'll need to delete (clear) the cookies from your browser.

For TurboTax Desktop: Go to Online menu (top), and Select Check for Updates (there was a recent Wisconsin residency and school district validation update).

 

Please let us know if none of these 'fixes" work, and we can explore other options.
