How to Find Out How Much My Wisconsin State Refund Was Last Year
Taxpayers often need to have information from prior year tax returns for various reasons, such as enrolling in school or applying for a loan. When a taxpayer cannot locate their copy of a previous tax return to obtain the information needed, he can contact the Internal Revenue Service for assistance. Wisconsin taxpayers that need to know the amount of their state tax refund from the previous year must contact the Wisconsin Department of Revenue with their inquiry.
