How Do I Check the Status of My Wisconsin State Refund?

Wisconsin residents file state tax returns as well as federal tax returns.

Residents of Wisconsin are required to file both a federal and a state income tax return each year.

State refund statuses can be tracked once tax returns have been filed through the Wisconsin Department of Treasury.
