Part-year and nonresident taxpayers are not required to file Form 1NPR if gross income reportable to Wisconsin is less than $2000. Make an entry in "1=Wisconsin gross income requires filing of Form 1NPR" to force the calculation of Form 1NPR. (WI - Ref #4773)

How to generate Wisconsin Form 1NPR:

2. Select General.
3. Select Misc. Info./Direct Deposit.

• Your only income taxable to WI was from wages, salaries, tips, interest, and dividends.
• Your only deductions are the standard deduction and personal exemptions.
• You only qualify to claim the school property tax credit, armed forces member credit, working families credit, married couple credit, WI withholding, or estimated tax.
