There don't appear to be any .pdf requirements to file for your homestead credit.

Please see the Wisconsin Department of Revenue's E-Filing of Individual Income Tax Returns with Homestead Credit Claims page for filing guidance.

It's asking me the same thing and I am a homeowner, also for the state of Wisconsin. What document am I to add as a PDF?

As this is a public forum, we cannot see what was emailed. 

 

I can provide you the following link to help guide you though.  There is an option to obtain help with the credit as well as an email in the link under #7.

Here is the PDF that need to fill out:

https://www.revenue.wi.gov/TaxForms2020/2020-ScheduleH-EZf.pdf

 

"

Which form do I use to file my homestead credit claim (Schedule H-EZ or Schedule H)?

You may file Schedule H-EZ if:

  • You (and your spouse, if married) have taxable and nontaxable income only from the following sources:
    1. Wages, salaries, tips, etc. (if any of your wages, salaries, tips, etc., are not taxable to Wisconsin, you cannot file on Schedule H-EZ)
    2. Interest and dividends
    3. Unemployment compensation
    4. Pensions, annuities, and other retirement plan distributions
    5. Social security benefits (including federal and state SSI, SSI-E, SSD, and caretaker supplement payments)
    6. Railroad retirement benefits
    7. Alimony, child support, and family maintenance
    8. Wisconsin Works (W2), county relief, kinship care, and other cash public assistance
    9. Gambling winnings (if your gambling winnings are reported on federal Schedule C or C-EZ, you cannot file on Schedule H-EZ)

  • During 2020 you (and your spouse, if married) did not repay any amount that was included as nontaxable household income on a prior year's homestead credit claim
  • You did not become married or divorced during 2020
  • You (and your spouse, if married) were a legal resident of Wisconsin from January 1 through December 31, 2020
  • You (and your spouse, if married) did not maintain separate homes during any part of 2020 (including one spouse in a nursing home)
  • Your home was used only for personal purposes while you lived there in 2020 (for example, no rental or business use, or use of a separate unit by others rent free)
  • Your home was located on one acre of land or less
  • You did not sell your home during 2020

If you cannot file on Schedule H-EZ, you must file onSchedule H."
