I’m in the process of filing my state taxes for this year. Join the Homestead Credit check up it says something about entering the income amount receivedfor mychild support. Child Support is not normally added to tax forms, so I don’t know if I’m required to enter the amount or if I can just get by it

Child support is not taxable to the State of Wisconsin but it is considered household income for claiming the Homestead Credit as well as other non-taxable income such as Social Security, , Unemployment Compensation,  IRA contributions, and nontaxable scholarships.
