Beginning May 15, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue will be allowing parents to claim a $100 rebate per child. Look for a Department of Revenue website to go live the 15th. Parents should have their child’s social security number, date of birth, and banking information ready when they visit.
In order to qualify for the rebate, children must be:
- Under age 18 on December 31, 2017
- A dependent of the claimant for tax year 2017
- A Wisconsin resident on December 31, 2017
- A United States resident
Parents can expect rebates to be issued by August of this year, when Wisconsin will also have a sales tax holiday. From August 1st to August 5th, school-related purchases will be sales tax free.
During that period of time, items free of sales tax are:
- Clothing with a sales price of up to $75 per item
- School supplies with a sales price of up to $75 per item
- Computers with a sales price of up to $750
- Computer supplies with a price of up to $250 per item
