What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a onetime sales and use tax rebate to be paid by September 1,

2018, as an approximation of nonbusiness Wisconsin sales tax paid in 2017 for

raising children. An individual may claim a rebate equal to $100 for each qualifying

child of the individual. For purposes of claiming the rebate, a qualified child is an

individual who is under 18 years of age for the entire year of 2017, a United States

citizen, a resident of this state on December 31, 2017, and the claimant's dependent,

as determined under the Internal Revenue Code. An individual who is a full-year

resident, nonresident, or part-year resident is eligible to claim the rebate if he or she

completes an online application for the rebate on a form prepared by the Department

of Revenue. A nonresident or part-year resident may claim the rebate if the claimant

verifies his or her nonbusiness Wisconsin sales taxes paid in 2017, and the verified

amount is at least $100 for each qualified child.
