The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 71.30 (11) of the statutes is created to read:
71.30 (11) VETERANS TRUST FUND. (a) Definitions. In this subsection, "veterans trust fund" means the fund under s. 25.36.
(b) Voluntary payments. 1. 'Designation on return.' A corporation filing an income or franchise tax return may designate on the return any amount of additional payment or any amount of a refund that is due the corporation as a donation to the veterans trust fund to be used for veterans programs under s. 25.36 (1).
2. 'Designation added to tax owed.' If the corporation owes any tax, the corporation shall remit in full the tax due and the amount designated on the return as a donation to the veterans trust fund when the corporation files a tax return.
3. 'Designation deducted from refund.' Except as provided under par. (d), and subject to ss. 71.75 (9) and 71.80 (3), if the corporation is owed a refund, the department shall deduct the amount designated on the return as a donation to the veterans trust fund from the amount of the refund.
(c) Errors; failure to remit correct amount. 1. 'Reduced designation.' If a corporation remits an amount that exceeds the tax due, after error corrections, but that is less than the total of the tax due, after error corrections, and the amount designated by the corporation on the return as a donation to the veterans trust fund, the department shall reduce the designation to reflect the amount remitted that exceeds the tax due, after error corrections.
2. 'Void designation.' The designation for a donation to the veterans trust fund is void if the corporation remits an amount equal to or less than the tax due, after error corrections.
(d) Errors; insufficient refund. If a corporation is owed a refund that is less than the amount designated on the return as a donation to the veterans trust fund, after attachment and crediting under ss. 71.75 (9) and 71.80 (3) and after error corrections, the department shall reduce the designation to reflect the actual amount of the refund the corporation is otherwise owed.
(e) Conditions. If a corporation places any conditions on a designation for a donation to the veterans trust fund, the designation is void.
(f) Void designation. If a designation for a donation to the veterans trust fund is void, the department shall disregard the designation and determine the amounts due, owed, refunded, and received.
(g) Tax return. The secretary of revenue shall provide a place for the designations under this subsection on the corporate income and franchise tax returns and the secretary shall highlight that place on the returns by a symbol chosen by the department of veterans affairs that relates to veterans.
(h) Certification of amounts. Annually, on or before September 15, the secretary of revenue shall certify to the department of veterans affairs and the department of administration:
1. The total amount of the administrative costs, including data processing costs, incurred by the department of revenue in administering this subsection during the previous fiscal year.
2. The total amount received from all designations to the veterans trust fund under this subsection made by corporations during the previous fiscal year.
3. The net amount remaining after the administrative costs under subd. 1. are subtracted from the total received under subd. 2.
(i) Appropriations. From the moneys received from designations to the veterans trust fund under this subsection, an amount equal to the sum of administrative expenses certified under par. (h) 1. shall be deposited into the general fund and credited to the appropriation under s. 20.566 (1) (hp), and the net amount remaining certified under par. (h) 3. shall be deposited into the veterans trust fund and used for the veterans programs under s. 25.36 (1).
(j) Refunds. An amount designated as a donation to the veterans trust fund under this subsection is not subject to refund to a corporation that designates the donation unless the corporation submits information to the satisfaction of the department within 18 months from the date that taxes are due from the corporation or from the date that the corporation filed the return, whichever is later, that the amount designated is clearly in error. A refund granted by the department under this paragraph shall be deducted from the moneys received under this subsection in the fiscal year that the refund is certified under 71.75 (7).
