Signature of Officer Date Title Officer’s State of Residence Mail to: Wisconsin Department of Revenue, PO Box 8908, Madison, WI 53708-8908. Instructions for Form 4H General Instructions Purpose of Form 4H A corporation that has been completely inactive both in and outside Wisconsin for an entire taxable year may file Form 4H instead of filing a corporate franchise or income tax return. If the corporation is a combined group member, it may file Form 4H instead of being included in the combined return. Thereafter, the corporation need not file a corporate franchise or income tax return, be included in a combined return, or file Form 4H for any subsequent year unless requested to do so by the Department of Revenue or unless, in a subsequent year, the corporation is activated or reactivated. Note: By filing Form 4H, a corporation is relieved of the requirement to file an annual franchise or income tax return with the Department of Revenue. This exemption does not extend to reports required by other agencies. In order for the corporation to continue in good standing, it must continue to file a Wisconsin Corporation Annual Report each year with the Corporations Bureau, Division of Corporate and Consumer Services, Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to file this report within a specified period of time may subject the corporation to administrative dissolution. Applicable Laws and Rules This document provides statements or interpretations of the following provisions of Wisconsin Statutes in effect as of September 5, 2023: chs. 71 and 77, Wis. Stats. and chs. Tax 1, 2 and 3 Wis. Adm. Code. Return to Page 1 Who May Not File Form 4H A corporation must file a corporate franchise or income tax return instead of Form 4H in either of the following cases: • The corporation’s balance sheet for the end of the taxable year differs from its balance sheet for the beginning of the taxable year. • The corporation liquidates during the taxable year. When to File File Form 4H on or before the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year. Any extension of time allowed by either the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Revenue to file your return extends the due date for filing Form 4H, provided you check line C, enter the extended due date, and attach a copy of your extension to Form 4H. If Form 4H is not filed on or before the due date or extended due date, a $150 late filing fee applies.

A FEIN is not required to file this form if you have a WTN. Balance Sheets Complete the balance sheets for the first day and last day of the taxable year indicated at the top of Form 4H. If the corporation had no assets or liabilities and capital on either the first day or the last day of the taxable year, enter zero (0) on line 14 and on line 27. Signature on Form 4H The corporation president must sign Form 4H if the president is a resident of Wisconsin. Otherwise, another officer who is a Wisconsin resident should sign Form 4H. If none of the officers are residents of Wisconsin, Form 4H may be signed by any duly authorized officer.

About the Corporate Income Tax
The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.
Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).
Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
