Did I receive the Lottery and Gaming Credit?

To see if you received the credit, review your property tax bill. The Lottery and Gaming Credit is located below the Total (tax) and First Dollar Credit lines on your tax bill. If an amount is listed on this line, the property received the credit.

Who qualifies for the Lottery and Gaming Credit?

To qualify for the Lottery and Gaming Credit, you must be a Wisconsin resident, own a dwelling and use it as your primary residence as of the January 1 certification date of the year the property taxes are levied.

Do I have to apply for the Lottery and Gaming Credit?

Yes, but only if you did not receive the Lottery and Gaming Credit on your most recent tax bill. To receive the credit, an eligible property owner must file an application with the city treasurer if the property is located in a city that collects taxes under state law (sec. 74.87, Wis. Stats.)

If you are eligible for the credit as of the January 1 certification date, but your property tax bill does not show the credit, you may:

• Claim the credit by applying to the municipal (town, village or city) treasurer where the property is located, by January 31 after you receive your property tax bill
• File a late claim application (if you missed the January 31 deadline) with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue by October 1, after your property tax bill is issued
• Lottery and Gaming Credit applications forms are located at: revenue.wi.gov/Pages/Form/lottery-home.aspx
