Wisconsin and the IRS combined program
Publication 117 (01/26): CF/SF participants 'are not required to file Forms 1099 with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue,' because the department gets the information from the IRS, but 'Any Form 1099 reporting Wisconsin withholding must be filed directly with the department by January 31.' Wisconsin is on the IRS participating-state table in Publication 1220.
Rather not file them yourself? 1099-NEC preparation and filing, or a free bookkeeping health check.
Worth knowing in Wisconsin
- The $600 figures are from the Department's February 2026 guidance, written for tax year 2025; check whether Wisconsin changes them for 2026 payments.
- The 2025 WT-7 instructions (R. 08-25) list 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R and W-2 as generally required for payments to Wisconsin residents and to nonresidents for services in Wisconsin; 1099-DIV, 1099-INT and 1099-K only when Wisconsin tax is withheld. Ten or more of any one information return type must be e-filed.
