Wisconsin’s tax season entered its seventh week this past week, and so far 1.3 million tax filers have submitted returns out of an expected 3 million. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) expects filing activity will be brisk the last few weeks of the season and encourages people to file now. This year’s individual income tax filing deadline is Monday, April 15. There are advantages to filing sooner rather than later.
- Those who files early are less likely to become a victim of identity theft or tax fraud.
- Those who file early are more likely to get receive their refund faster, if they have one coming.
- For those who may owe taxes, you may still file now and wait until April 15 to pay.
- For those with questions or in need of assistance, DOR customer service staff are ready to quickly assist, and there will likely be less waiting time, than filing just before the deadline.
