If I include the Wisconsin School District Property Tax but not Homestead Credit on my tax returns, do I need to fill out Schedule H (EZ in my case) in to the IRS?

[scapriles42]

I'm not getting much back from my homestead credit this year, and I don't think I'm going to be able to get my Schedule H-EZ form to my landlord and back to me in time before the tax filing deadline, anyway. However, I noticed that I can claim my School District Property Tax and I can't find anything about it requiring a form to be sent in. I don't want to make a mistake when filing, so can someone tell me if I need to do something similar to that of my homestead credit? I can't afford to go through that red tape right now, I don't have the time...

The directions for claiming the Wisconsin School District Property Tax do no include completing Schedule H or mailing anything in. Please view pages 33-35 in the Wisconsin link below.
