MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin taxpayers have a new way to file their state returns for free this year.
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue’s updated WisTax system is now live for the 2026 filing season, offering expanded eligibility for most full‑year residents with a Wisconsin ID. The platform now supports amended returns, Homestead Credit claims, and provides a smoother process for veterans and surviving spouses to apply for the property tax credit.
Revenue Secretary David Casey says the goal is to remove financial barriers and keep taxpayer data secure. WisTax works on phones, tablets, and desktops, and provides instant confirmation once a return is submitted.
