Wisconsin Legal Residence Questionnaire for ProConnect Tax

If you're receiving the following diagnostic:

"If legal residence was established in another state for the Legal Residence Questionnaire on page 5 of Form 1NPR, each of lines 7a–7e must be completed. Either a date must be entered to indicate Yes or an explanation must be provided to indicate No." (ref. #16906)

This diagnostic appears when legal residence was established in another state, but lines 7a–7e of the questionnaire are not fully answered. These fields are required for Wisconsin Form 1NPR to be eligible for e-file.

Use the Legal Residence Questionnaire section, in Wisconsin Nonresident/Part-Year under State & Local to complete the Legal Residence (Domicile) Questionnaire on Form 1NPR Page 5. Depending on which situation applies, enter the information in the appropriate subsection.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Input Return ⮕ State & Local ⮕ Part-Yr./Nonres. Information ⮕ WI Part-Year/Nonresident Info.
2. Scroll to the Legal Residence Questionnaire section.
3. Complete all relevant fields, including:
   • Abandoned WI domicile
     • Inferred from overall section (enter move dates, family move, intent to return, etc.)
   • Date legal residence established
     • Date established legal residence
   • Registered to vote
     • Date registered to vote
     • Explain voter registration
   • Claimed homestead exemption
   • Receiving nonresident benefits (e.g., schooling, health)
     • Fill out any that apply:
       • Date purchased a home + Explain home purchase
       • Date obtained driver's license + Explain driver's license
       • Date of automobile registration + Explain automobile registration
       • Job was: 1=permanent, 2=temporary, 3=seasonal + Explain job length
4. For each line, either:
   • Enter a date (to indicate “Yes”), or
   • Enter an explanation (to indicate “No”)

Incomplete entries (such as a missing explanation for a field with no date) will also trigger the diagnostic and block e-filing.
