Wisconsin Child Sales Tax Rebate

Are you a Wisconsin resident with a child under 18 whom you claim as a dependent on your tax return? If so, you may be entitled to a $100 rebate per child from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

Due to sound fiscal management and a strong economy, Wisconsin has a state budget surplus of almost $400 million. The Governor and State Legislature have determined that some of the surplus be returned to taxpayers in the form of a Child Sales Tax Rebate. This is a $100 rebate for sales and use tax paid on purchases made for raising a dependent child in 2017.
