Form 5E Instructions
General Instructions
Purpose of Form ­ A corporation that is an S corporation for federal income tax purposes uses Form 5E to elect not to be a tax-option corporation for Wisconsin tax purposes. How to Elect ­ The election not to be a tax-option corporation for Wisconsin requires the consent of persons who hold more than 50% of the shares of the tax-option (S) corporation on the day the election is made. Note: If an S corporation has a qualified Subchapter S subsidiary (QSub) for federal purposes, neither the S corporation nor the QSub may elect out of Wisconsin tax-option (S) treatment. When to Elect ­ You must make the election on or before the due date, or extended due date, of the first Wisconsin corporation franchise or income tax return affected by the election. The election is completed by the filing of a Wisconsin franchise or income tax return in accordance with the election. Use Wisconsin Form 4 or Form 5, as appropriate. Caution: Since the corporation will be filing federal Form 1120S, special adjustments may be required to properly determine Wisconsin net income. Revoking the Election ­ You may withdraw the "opt-out" election prior to the date of filing the corporation's Wisconsin franchise or income tax return by sending a letter, signed by shareholders holding more than 50% of the corporation's stock, to the Department of Revenue on or before the due date, including extensions, of the corporation's return. If the corporation's return was filed before the due date, or extended due date, you may withdraw the election by filing an amended Wisconsin franchise or income tax return, Form 5S, along with a letter requesting the withdrawal of the "opt-out" election on or before the due date or extended due date. After the due date, or extended due date, for filing the corporation's Wisconsin franchise or income tax return has passed, the "opt-out" election cannot be withdrawn, and it remains effective for the corporation and any successors for at least the next 4 taxable years after the taxable year to which the election first applies. After the 5-year period, you may revoke the "opt-out" election by filing Wisconsin Form 5R, Revocation of Election by an S Corporation Not to Be a Tax-Option Corporation. Exception: The "opt-out" election is automatically revoked for the taxable year in which a federal S corporation acquires a QSub. In this case, it is not necessary to file Form 5R. You must use Wisconsin Form 5S to report the income of the corporation and its QSub.
