Step 1: Obtain a WAMS ID
Each My Tax Account users needs his or her own personal WAMS ID. You will associate the business to your WAMS ID later. See Self Registration at https://on.wisconsin.gov/WAMS/SelfRegController and click on “Accept” at the bottom of the page.
Tips:
- The address fields for the WAMS application are not required fields.
- An owner of multiple businesses will need multiple WAMS IDs for registration purposes (one for each business).
- Each WAMS ID requires a unique email address
- If you held a WAMS ID previously, but don’t recall your information, go to the “Account Recovery” link on the Self Registration page.
Step 2: Associate your WAMS ID with your business.
Log into My Tax Account at https://tap.revenue.wi.gov with your WAMS ID. Complete the Customer Access Request using the business information. Sole proprietors may use their personal information.
Step 3: Add your business tax accounts.
After completing the Customer Access Request, select “Next.” Upon successfully requesting access to one of your business tax accounts, you will receive access to all of your business tax accounts. This access may be limited by the individual that holds the “Master” access level for the business.
Step 4: Use the system.
After completing the steps above, you may log into the My Tax Account website, https://tap.revenue.wi.gov, at any time. To file your return and pay an amount due, click on the desired account number listed below the “Authorized Web Accounts” heading.
Tips:
- You must submit two requests for each tax type (including withholding). One request to submit the return (File Now or File a Return link) and one request to submit the payment.
- You may view what you’ve submitted at the “View Requests” link.
- Payments submitted via My Tax Account will show on your account in 2-5 business days.
