Wisconsin Code § 77.27

Penalty for falsifying value
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Any person who intentionally falsifies value on a return required to be filed under this
subchapter may for each such offense be fined not more than
$1,000 or imprisoned in the county jail not more than one year, or
both.
This section is violated when a value is intentionally falsified on a Wisconsin real
estate transfer return. Falsely declaring a transfer as a sale when it is in fact a gift
does not constitute a violation, nor will it support the issuance of a false swearing
complaint under s. 946.32, but it may constitute a gift tax avoidance in violation of
former s. 72.86 (6), 1989 stats. 62 Atty. Gen. 251.
