Ordering Wisconsin Tax Forms

New Procedures for 2009

The department has implemented a new e-mail application for libraries to use in placing orders for 2009 Wisconsin tax forms. This new application is easier to use and offers a better process for monitoring library orders and tracking shipments. Although some libraries may have already placed their order for 2009 Wisconsin tax forms using the online ordering system, you must now resubmit your order using this e-mail application.

We Need Your Help!

Last year Wisconsin libraries ordered approximately 1.6 million tax forms and instructions (1 million forms + 600,000 instruction booklets). Based on the unique barcode assigned to forms provided to libraries, the department was able to determine that less than 75,000 of the 1 million forms were actually filed with the department. We know that some of the forms that were not submitted to the department are used for draft versions or kept as a copy, but certainly not all 925,000.

Help us reduce the number of forms that are being wasted. While we want to continue to provide forms to taxpayers who need them, we must reduce the waste associated with forms that are not being used. We urge you to order fewer forms this year!

More E-filing - Less Paper

More than 71% of Wisconsin taxpayers filed their income tax returns electronically. Last year the department introduced a new e-file application called Wisconsin e-file. This application is Free, Secure, and Accurate. Plus, refunds are available within 5 business days.

We encourage you to refer your customers to this free application. Wisconsin e-file is available from the department's web site at http://www.revenue.wi.gov/.

In addition, all Wisconsin tax forms are available online at http://www.revenue.wi.gov/html/formpub.html.
