I'm eligible for a homestead credit in Wisconsin, and since I had roommates the form wants me to put down what percentage I paid in food, rent, and utilities. The rent is no problem because I can add, but what about food and utilities? We all bought our own food, and for utilities we'd just pay our share to the roommate in whose name they were. Can I just put down the rent and leave the others blank?

It sounds like this is actually pretty easy. If there were four of you, and you each bought your own food, then you paid for 25% of the food. If your utilities were divided evenly, then you paid 25% of the utilities, too.

I understand that, but the problem is that it wants the complete sum of utilities and food for the year, and I don't think any of us knows how much we spent in food or utilities in total. We never kept track. I know that I personally never tracked how much I spent on food, and I don't think my roommates did, and we certainly don't know how much we paid in total. Same with utilities; I'm pretty sure we junked our bill receipts once we paid them, so I'm not sure what we paid in total.


Edit: They want a specific dollar amount, not a percentage.
Edit 2: Found the Wisconsin Department of Revenue number. I can estimate!
