The credit may not be allowed unless the income taxed by the other state is also considered income for Wisconsin tax purposes. The credit may not be allowed unless claimed within the time provided in s. 71.75 (2), but s. 71.75 (4) does not apply to those credits. For purposes of this subdivision, amounts declared and paid under the income tax law of another state are considered a net income tax paid to that other state only in the year in which the income tax return for that state was required to be filed.
71.07(7)(b)2. 2. Income and franchise taxes paid to another state by a tax-option corporation, partnership, or limited liability company that is treated as a partnership may be claimed as a credit under this paragraph by that corporation's shareholders, that partnership's partners, or that limited liability company's members who are residents of this state and who otherwise qualify under this paragraph, unless the tax-option corporation, partnership, or limited liability company has made an election under s. 71.21 (6) (a) or 71.365 (4m) (a).

The credit may not be allowed unless the income taxed by the other state is also considered income for Wisconsin tax purposes and is otherwise attributable to amounts that would be reportable to this state by shareholders, partners, or members of the tax-option corporation, partnership, or limited liability company that are residents of this state if the election under s. 71.21 (6) (a) or 71.365 (4m) (a) was not made. The credit may not be allowed unless claimed within the time provided in s. 71.75 (2), but s. 71.75 (4) does not apply to those credits.

71.07(8)(a)1. 1. If the taxpayer is an individual, the taxpayer files an individual return, and has adjusted gross income of less than $30,000 in the year to which the claim relates, $25.

71.07(8)(c) (c) With respect to persons who change their domicile into or from this state during the taxable year and nonresident persons, personal exemptions shall be limited to the fraction of the amount so determined that Wisconsin adjusted gross income is of federal adjusted gross income. In this paragraph, for married persons filing separately “adjusted gross income" means the separate adjusted gross income of each spouse and for married persons filing jointly “adjusted gross income" means the total adjusted gross income of both spouses. If a person and that person's spouse are not both domiciled in this state during the entire taxable year, their personal exemptions on a joint return are determined by multiplying the personal exemption that would be available to each of them if they were both domiciled in this state during the entire taxable year by a fraction the numerator of which is their joint Wisconsin adjusted gross income and the denominator of which is their joint federal adjusted gross income.
