How to Pay Your Taxes Online in Wisconsin

Even though Wisconsin offers a centralized portal for many state tax types, the process is still far from seamless. Navigating clunky interfaces, juggling passwords, and manually entering information each filing period can be a repetitive headache, especially if you run a small business or manage multiple tax accounts.

If you’re a business owner, freelancer, or landlord in Wisconsin, here’s how the traditional tax payment process works, and how Remitian makes it significantly easier.


The Traditional Way: Paying Wisconsin Taxes Manually

Wisconsin businesses typically deal with several types of tax obligations, including:

  • Sales and Use Tax

  • Withholding (Payroll) Tax

  • Corporate or Partnership Tax

  • Individual Income Tax (if sole proprietor)

All of these are handled through Wisconsin’s My Tax Account (MTA) portal,  a single point of access, but with a steep learning curve.

1. Go to My Tax Account

🔗 https://tap.revenue.wi.gov/MyTaxAccount/

This portal is used for business and individual tax payments, filing returns, and managing state tax accounts.

2. Log In (or Recover Your Account)

If it’s your first time logging in for the year — or since last quarter — you may need to recover your credentials. Password resets, multi-factor authentication, and user ID lookups are common roadblocks.

3. Select the Right Tax Account

From the dashboard, you’ll need to choose the correct account:

  • Sales and Use Tax

  • Withholding Tax

  • Corporate Income/Franchise Tax

  • Partnership Return, etc.

It’s easy to click the wrong section or overlook something if you’re managing multiple business entities.

4. Enter Your Tax Info by Hand

Be ready to input:

  • FEIN or SSN

  • Filing period

  • Amount owed

  • Payment source (bank account or credit card, fees may apply)

Each time you file, it’s the same repetitive process, with no memory of prior payments unless you manually dig for them.

5. Save or Screenshot the Confirmation

While the MTA portal provides a confirmation number, you have to remember to save or email it yourself. Receipts aren’t always easy to retrieve later, especially if you didn’t store them during submission.


The Remitian Way: Wisconsin Tax Filing Without the Busywork

Why do this over and over again when Remitian automates the most frustrating parts of tax compliance?

Remitian helps Wisconsin taxpayers:

  • Connect securely to My Tax Account and other state portals

  • Track due dates for all filing types, including sales, payroll, income, and franchise taxes

  • Eliminate redundant data entry with smart autofill and saved profiles

  • Centralize payment history and confirmation receipts

  • Collaborate securely with bookkeepers, accountants, or internal finance teams


Why It Matters

If you’re running a café in Milwaukee, managing rental properties in Madison, or freelancing across the state, you shouldn’t have to juggle spreadsheets, passwords, and submission screenshots just to stay compliant.

Wisconsin’s tax system has the right tools, but not the best experience. Remitian brings structure, visibility, and automation to the entire process.
