Sorry for the late arrival but here is Julie's info from her visit.
SENIOR MOMENT UPDATE
The Wisconsin Homestead Credit is a tax benefit for renters and homeowners with low or moderate incomes. It is designed to lessen the impact of rent and property taxes. Property taxes do not need to be paid before filing for Homestead Credit. Qualifying persons can get back some or all of their state taxes withheld during the year. Household income that is reported includes all income for tax purposes plus certain nontaxable income. Nontaxable income include gross Social Security, SSI, Railroad Retirement, pensions, IRA income and income from investments, etc. You have until April 15, 2014 to file for your 2009 homestead credit, and after April 16, 2010, you can receive credit back to 2006. The maximum amount of Homestead Credit can be as high as $1,160. Expect to wait six (6) to ten (10) weeks for the payment from the time it is submitted.
To qualify for Homestead credit you must:
Be a legal Wisconsin resident for all of 2009
Have a household income less than $24,500
Be a owner or renter of the homestead during 2009
Not be claiming farmland preservation credit for 2009
Not be living in a nursing home and receiving medical assistance
No claim may be filed on behalf of a person after his or her death
