The Earned Income Tax Credit

The earned income tax credit (EITC) is a refundable income tax credit for low to moderate income working individuals and families.

Wisconsin Taxpayers may be eligible for both the Wisconsin EITC and the Federal EITC.

Homestead Credit

The homestead credit is designed to soften the impact of property taxes and rent on persons with lower incomes. The benefit available may take the form of an income tax credit or a direct refund. The credit is based on the relationship of your household income to the amount of your allowable property taxes and/or rent for the calendar year.

Wisconsin taxpayers can apply for the Homestead Credit on the state level.
