Even though the school year is just wrapping up for the summer, we take a quick look ahead to next year. Wisconsin parents will get a break ahead of the fall. The $100 per-child tax rebate that the governor touted in his State of the State address was rolled out this week. After filling out an online form, parents will either be mailed a check or receive a direct deposit of $100 for each child. This rebate was announced in conjunction with an August sales tax holiday in an effort to help parents afford school-related items. The window to apply for the rebate is open now through July 2.
