To receive free or reduced rate electronic filing described below, you must go to the IRS Free File Alliance web page and select your software vendor through the IRS web site.

If you file your federal and state returns together, some vendors will not charge a fee for the Wisconsin tax return. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue encourages you to investigate and make an informed decision before you begin filing. See the table below for more information.
Wisconsin Free-File provides free electronic filing of only your Wisconsin state income tax return, provided you meet certain requirements. For example, you cannot have certain business income, use certain schedules, or claim noncash donations of more than $500.
