An amount paid by a claimant for tuition expenses and mandatory student fees for a student who is the claimant or who is the claimant’s child and the claimant’s dependent, as defined under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code, to attend any university, college, technical college or a school approved under s. 440.52, that is located in Wisconsin or to attend a public vocational school or public institution of higher education in Minnesota under a reciprocity agreement under s. 36.27 (2r) or 39.47, calculated as follows: a.
Subject to subd. 28. am., an amount equal to $6,000 per student for each year to which the claim relates.
Notwithstanding subd. 28. a., for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008, the department of revenue and the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System shall continue making the calculation described under subd. 28. a. Notwithstanding subd. 28. a., once this calculation exceeds $6,000, the deduction for tuition expenses and mandatory student fees, as described in subd. 28. (intro.), shall be based on an amount equal to not more than twice the average amount charged by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System at 4-year institutions for resident undergraduate academic fees for the most recent fall semester, as determined by the Board of Regents by September 1 of that semester, per student for each year to which the claim relates, and the deduction that may be claimed under this subd. 28. am. first applies to taxable years beginning on the January 1 after the calculation of the Board of Regents, that must occur by September 1, exceeds $6,000.
From the amount calculated under subd. 28. a. or am., if the claimant is single or married and filing as head of household and his or her federal adjusted gross income is more than $50,000 but not more than $60,000, subtract the product of the amount calculated under subd. 28. a. or am. and the value of a fraction, the denominator of which is $10,000 and the numerator of which is the difference between the claimant’s federal adjusted gross income and $50,000.
From the amount calculated under subd. 28. a. or am., if the claimant is married and filing jointly and the claimant’s and his or her spouse’s federal adjusted gross income is more than $80,000 but not more than $100,000, subtract the product of the amount calculated under subd. 28. a. or am. and the value of a fraction, the denominator of which is $20,000 and the numerator of which is the difference between the claimant’s and his or her spouse’s federal adjusted gross income and $80,000.
From the amount calculated under subd. 28. a. or am., if the claimant is married and filing separately and the claimant’s federal adjusted gross income is more than $40,000 but not more than $50,000, subtract the product of the amount calculated under subd. 28. a. or am. and the value of a fraction, the denominator of which is $10,000 and the numerator of which is the difference between the claimant’s federal adjusted gross income and $40,000.
For an individual who is a nonresident or part-year resident of this state, multiply the amount calculated under subd. 28. a., am., b., c. or d. by a fraction the numerator of which is the individual’s wages, salary, tips, unearned income and net earnings from a trade or business that are taxable by this state and the denominator of which is the individual’s total wages, salary, tips, unearned income and net earnings from a trade or business. In this subd. 28. e., for married persons filing separately “wages, salary, tips, unearned income and net earnings from a trade or business” means the separate wages, salary, tips, unearned income and net earnings from a trade or business of each spouse, and for married persons filing jointly “wages, salary, tips, unearned income and net earnings from a trade or business” means the total wages, salary, tips, unearned income and net earnings from a trade or business of both spouses.
Reduce the amount calculated under subd. 28. a., am., b., c., d. or e. to the individual’s aggregate wages, salary, tips, unearned income and net earnings from a trade or business that are taxable by this state.
No modification may be claimed under this subdivision by a claimant who is single or married and filing as head of household if the claimant’s federal adjusted gross income is more than $60,000, by a claimant who is married and filing jointly if the claimant’s and his or her spouse’s federal adjusted gross income is more than $100,000 or by a claimant who is married and filing separately if the claimant’s federal adjusted gross income is more than $50,000.
No modification may be claimed under this subdivision for an amount paid for tuition expenses and mandatory student fees, as described under this subdivision, if the source of the payment is an amount withdrawn from a college savings account, as described in s. 224.50, and if the owner of the account or another individual who contributed to the account has claimed a deduction under subd. 32. that relates to such an amount.
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, the dollar amounts in subd. 28. b., c., d., and g. shall be increased each year by a percentage equal to the percentage change between the U.S. consumer price index for all urban consumers, U.S. city average, for the month of August of the previous year and the U.S. consumer price index for all urban consumers, U.S. city average, for the month of August 2011, as determined by the federal department of labor, except that the adjustment may occur only if the resulting amount is greater than the corresponding amount that was calculated for the previous year. Each amount that is revised under this subd. 28. i. shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $10 if the revised amount is not a multiple of $10 or, if the revised amount is a multiple of $5, such an amount shall be increased to the next higher multiple of $10. The department of revenue shall annually adjust the changes in dollar amounts required under this subd. 28. i. and incorporate the changes into the income tax forms and instructions.
