Quarterly Payments
A pass-through entity is required to make quarterly withholding tax payments on a nonresident member's share of income attributable to Wisconsin. The pass-through entity must make quarterly payments of withholding tax on or before the
15th day of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th month of the taxable year. If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date becomes the business day immediately following the weekend or holiday.
You must make your payments electronically. See the department's
Make a Payment webpage and
My Tax Account for more information.
Pass-Through Entities Use Form PW-1
Pass-through entities must also file Form PW-1 annually to report estimated withholding tax paid and pay any additional withholding tax due on behalf of their nonresident shareholders, partners, members, or beneficiaries.
You must file Form PW-1 electronically. You can file Form PW-1 through the
Federal/State E-File Program, which uses approved third-party vendor software. If you choose not to use this program, you may use the department's free e-file program, My Tax Account.
Note: To file Form PW-1, you will need to view or print the Form PW-1
Instructions.
