What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, an individual taxpayer may claim the income taxes paid to another state as a credit against the taxpayer's Wisconsin income tax liability. In order to calculate the taxpayer's tax liability, the taxpayer first claims all of the taxpayer's nonrefundable state income tax credits and then the credit for taxes paid to another state. If the amount of the credit for taxes paid to another state exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability, the taxpayer does not receive a refund of the excess amount and may not carry-forward the unused amount to subsequent taxable years.
This bill changes the computation order of tax credits for an individual taxpayer so that the dairy and livestock farm investment credit is claimed after the credit for taxes paid to another state. If the amount of the calculated credits exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability, the taxpayer does not receive a refund of the excess, but may carry-forward the unused amount to subsequent taxable years.
