Your Wisconsin homestead refund status can be checked online at the Wisconsin Department of Revenue's website at https://ww2.revenue.wi.gov/RefundInquiry/application. The status can also be checked over the telephone. The numbers are (608) 266 8100 in Madison, (414) 227 4907 in Milwaukee or toll free (866) WIS RFND (947 7363) in other areas. In order to check on its status you will need to have your Social Security number, the tax year and the refund amount that is stated on your paperwork.
To check the status of your claim over the phone, you will also need a copy of you return to hand to provide details as requested. Both the online checking system and phone system are kept up to date and will provide the most recent record of your refund. The typical processing times for homestead refunds vary depending on the way that the claim was filed. An e-filed claim will take approximately one full week from the day that the acknowledgment was received. Paper returns can take up to 12 weeks after they have been posted.
Try to avoid contacting the Department of Revenue to complain about a delay in your refund until the suggested processing time has passed. The department are unlikely to be able to help speed up your claim until this deadline has been and gone. For information about any prior refund inquiries that are not available on the online or phone systems, there is an email inquiry form that can be filled out on the website at https://ww2.revenue.wi.gov/Internet/refund.html. If you require any information about refund interceptions, there is a frequently asked questions page online at http://www.revenue.wi.gov/faqs/ise/refintcp.html.
