Forms W-RA Transmitted Electronically

DOR is receiving a large number of Form W-RAs electronically outside of WI e-File that are not uploading correctly into our processing system. If the preparer does not save and name the Form W-RA and attachments (e.g., rent certificate, property tax bill, etc.) per the instructions at www.revenue.wi.gov/eserv/w-ra.html, the W-RA and attachments will not load into our processing system. As a result, DOR has no record of the documents. DOR will take no action on the homestead credit claim until the claimant resubmits the Form W-RA and attachments. Generally this happens after the claimant contacts DOR as to why their refund has not been granted or DOR sends a letter 30 days after receiving the claim that we have not received the W-RA and attachments. Please follow the linked instructions carefully. Thank you for electronically filing.
