My Tax Account – Your Way

Today, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue launched its upgrade of the online business tax system called My Tax Account. My Tax Account is a secure online system for filing and paying most Wisconsin business taxes, including sales and use tax and withholding tax. Customers have 24/7 access to their tax returns, payments, and account information.

“We continually look for ways to improve our customer service, and these upgrades are a direct result of suggestions made by our customers,” said Secretary Richard G. Chandler.

Last year, the department conducted a user survey and held several focus groups to solicit feedback from businesses and tax professionals about areas for improvement. Based on this feedback, My Tax Account was updated to make it easier for businesses to file and pay their taxes.

The My Tax Account improvements include:

* Easy, one step registration

* Faster tax return preparation

* Modern, intuitive navigation

* Improved help messages and training

* New functionality, such as electronically filing appeals and refund claims

Approximately 155,000 Wisconsin businesses use My Tax Account to file and pay their state taxes electronically. My Tax Account originally launched in February 2009.
