Wisconsin Personal Property Tax

Show expandable text

The UltraTax/Wisconsin Personal Property Tax application supports 1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120S, and 990 entities. It prepares the personal property tax returns from depreciation data entered in the Asset Detail dialog.


Wisconsin forms

  • Form PA-003 - Statement of Personal Property
  • Form M-P - Manufacturing Personal Property Return

Depreciation treatments required for all WI PPT assets

The Book or WI treatment must be entered for Wisconsin Personal Property Tax returns. By default, the Book treatment transfers to the return. However, if the Complete return using the WI treatment within the Asset module field is marked on Screen Gen in the General folder for UltraTax/Wisconsin Personal Property Tax, the WI treatment will transfer to the return.

Note: If you previously entered depreciation data for only the Tax treatment, you can copy asset data from the Tax treatment to the Book treatment or to the WI treatment.

Associations required for all WI PPT assets

  • Situs: Each asset must have Wisconsin selected in the Situs field to transfer to the Wisconsin Personal Property Tax return.
  • Location: Enter the street address of the company where the assets are located. A property tax return is created for each location entered.
