MADISON (WSAU) Starting in 2011, Wisconsin residents working in Minnesota will have to file income tax returns in both states.
The neighboring states have had a reciprocal agreement for more than 40 years, letting taxpayers who live on one side of the border and work on the other to file their one return in the state where they live. Minnesota is pulling out of that arrangement at the end of the year. It says it has to wait too long to get its money. That delay is usually nearly a year and a half as the agreement stands now.
When it goes away, Minnesota officials say they will generate more than 130 million dollars over a two-year period because it will get the money quicker. An estimated 57 thousand Wisconsin residents work in Minnesota.
