To qualify for a lottery credit you must own your home and use it as your primary residence as of January 1, 2021. If your home was newly built and completed after January 1, 2021, your tax bill does not qualify for a credit in 2021.
If you received a lottery credit penalty on your tax bill, please contact the Wisconsin Department of Revenue at 608-266-0772 or 608-266-9457 for more information.
Did you receive the lottery credit for your 2021 taxes?
If your current property was your primary residence as of January 1, 2021 you qualify for a lottery credit. This is a credit that all Wisconsin property owners receive for their primary residence. You should see it in this section of your tax bill:
If you did not receive it, you can download a copy of the 2021 Late Lottery Credit Application (PDF) and submit it to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to receive the credit.
Every taxable parcel in the State of Wisconsin qualifies for the First Dollar Credit provided that parcel contains real property improvement. This includes business, commercial and private property. Unlike the Lottery and Gaming Credit, the property does NOT need to be the primary residence of the owner. This credit should be automatically applied to all qualifying properties. If the property tax bill has an amount shown in the "Ass'd Value Improvements" boxes, then that property should receive the credit.
