Wisconsin lawmakers want to reestablish income tax deal with Minnesota

(St. Paul, MN) --Wisconsin lawmakers want to revive an agreement to make it easier for people to pay income taxes when they have jobs in Minnesota.

The two states used to allow workers to file one tax return when they lived in one state but worked in the other. Minnesota ended an agreement in 2010 because Wisconsin missed deadlines to pay owed income tax revenue. Wisconsin lawmakers are continuing to push for a study to determine the benefits of reviving that agreement, saying it would save both time and money for taxpayers. 

Minnesota has resisted attempts to revive the agreement and started giving tax credits to residents who work in Wisconsin in 2017.
