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 credit under this subsection on a joint return shall be limited to the fraction of the amount so determined that their joint Wisconsin adjusted gross income is of their joint federal adjusted gross income.
71.07(6) (6)Married persons credit.
71.07(6)(a)(a) Married persons filing a joint return, except those who reduce their gross income under section 911 or 931 of the internal revenue code, may claim as a credit against, but not to exceed the amount of, Wisconsin net income taxes otherwise due an amount equal to 2% of the earned income of the spouse with the lower earned income, but not more than $300. In this paragraph, "earned income" means qualified earned income, as defined in section 221 (b) of the internal revenue code as amended to December 31, 1985, plus employe business expenses under section 62 (2) (B) to (D) of that code, allocable to Wisconsin under s. 71.04, plus amounts received by the individual for services performed in the employ of the individual's spouse minus the amount of disability income excluded under s. 71.05 (6) (b) 4. and minus any other amount not subject to tax under this chapter. Earned income is computed notwithstanding the fact that each spouse owns an undivided one-half interest in the whole of the marital property. A marital property agreement or unilateral statement under ch. 766 transferring income between spouses has no effect in computing earned income under this paragraph.
71.07(6)(b) (b) A claimant who has filed a timely claim under par. (a) may file an amended claim with the department of revenue within 4 years of the last day prescribed by law for filing the original claim.

71.07(7)(a)(a) In this subsection, "state" includes the District of Columbia, but does not include the commonwealth of Puerto Rico or the several territories organized by Congress.
71.07(7)(b) (b) If a resident individual, estate or trust pays a net income tax to another state, that resident individual, estate or trust may credit the net tax paid to that other state on that income against the net income tax otherwise payable to the state on income of the same year. 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 paragraph, amounts declared and paid pursuant to the income tax law of another state shall be deemed 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. Income and franchise taxes paid to another state by a tax-option corporation or limited liability company that is treated as a partnership may be claimed as a credit under this paragraph by that corporation's shareholders or that limited liability company's members who are residents of this state and who otherwise qualify under this paragraph.
71.07(8) (8)Personal exemptions credit for natural persons. On income of calendar year 1986 and corresponding fiscal years and thereafter, there may be deducted from the tax after it has been computed according to the rates of this section personal exemptions for natural persons as follows:
71.07(8)(a) (a) An exemption of $25 if the taxpayer has reached the age of 65 prior to the close of the calendar or fiscal year.
71.07(8)(b) (b) An exemption of $50 for each person for whom the taxpayer is entitled to an exemption for the taxable year under section 151 (c) of the federal internal revenue code.
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.

71.07(9)(a)1. 1. "Claimant" means a natural person who files a claim or on whose behalf a claim is filed under this subsection but does not include an estate, fiduciary or trust.

71.07(9)(a)3. 3. "Property taxes" means real and personal property taxes, exclusive of special assessments, delinquent interest and charges for service, paid by a claimant on the claimant's principal dwelling during the taxable year for which credit under this subsection is claimed, less any property taxes paid which are properly includable as a trade or business expense under section 162 of the internal revenue code. If the principal dwelling on which the taxes were paid is owned by 2 or more persons or entities as joint tenants or tenants in common or is owned by spouses as marital property, "property taxes" is that part of property taxes paid that reflects the ownership percentage of the claimant. If the principal dwelling is sold during the taxable year the "property taxes" for the seller and buyer shall be the amount of the tax prorated to each in the closing agreement pertaining to the sale or, if not so provided for in the closing agreement, the tax shall be prorated between the seller and buyer in proportion to months of their respective ownership. "Property taxes" includes monthly parking permit fees in respect to a principal dwelling collected under s. 66.058 (3) (c).
71.07(9)(a)4. 4. "Rent constituting property taxes" means 25% of rent if heat is not included, or 20% of rent if heat is included, paid during the taxable year for which credit is claimed under this subsection, at arm's length, for the use of a principal dwelling and contiguous land, excluding any payment for domestic, food, medical or other services which are unrelated to use of the dwelling as housing, less any rent paid that is properly includable as a trade or business expense under the internal revenue code. "Rent" includes space rental paid to a landlord for parking a mobile home. Rent shall be apportioned among the occupants of a principal dwelling according to their respective contribution to the total amount of rent paid. "Rent" does not include rent paid for the use of housing which was exempt from property taxation, except housing for which payments in lieu of taxes were made under s. 66.40 (22).
71.07(9)(b) (b) Subject to the limitations under this subsection, a claimant may claim as a credit against, but not to exceed the amount of, taxes under s. 71.02, 10% of the first $2,000 of property taxes or rent constituting property taxes, or 10% of the first $1,000 of property taxes or rent constituting property taxes of a married person filing separately.
71.07(9)(c) (c) For an unmarried person or a married person filing a separate return who is a part-year resident of this state, the credit under this subsection is limited to that fraction of the amount determined under this subsection that Wisconsin adjusted gross income is of federal adjusted gross income. No credit is allowed under this subsection for unmarried persons or married persons filing separate returns who are nonresidents of this state. If one spouse is not domiciled in this state during the entire taxable year, the credit on a joint return is determined by multiplying the school property tax credit that would be available to them if both spouses were 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. No credit is allowed under this subsection on a joint return if both spouses are nonresidents of this state.
71.07(9)(d) (d) No credit may be allowed under this subsection unless it is claimed within the period specified in s. 71.75 (2).
71.07(9)(e) (e) In any case in which a principal dwelling is rented by a person from another person under circumstances deemed by the department of revenue to be not at arm's length, the department may determine rent at arm's length, and, for purposes of this subsection, such determination shall be final.
