71.05 Annotation The fact that federal employees whose service is interrupted can repurchase prior years of employment for benefit determination purposes does not erase their absence from employment on December 31, 1963 so that they may be considered to have been employed on that date under sub. (1) (a). Hafner v. Department of Revenue, 2000 WI App 216, 239 Wis. 2d 218, 619 N.W.2d 300, 00-0511.
71.05 Annotation Sub. (6) (a) 1. requires adding to Wisconsin income all types of interest excluded from federal interest.

Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission, 2002 WI App 14, 250 Wis. 2d 624, 639 N.W.2d 757, 01-0488.
71.05 Annotation When an agreement is silent on the allocation of a payment between a covenant not to compete and other claims or compensation, the commission may make a reasonable allocation if it is: 1) based on credible evidence; 2) the parties intended a portion of the payment as compensation for the covenant not to compete; and 3) the payment is economically reasonable. Schwartz v. Department of Revenue, 2002 WI App 255, 258 Wis. 2d 112, 653 N.W.2d 150, 02-0372.
