Every individual filing an income tax return who has a tax liability or is entitled to a tax refund may designate on the return any amount of additional payment or any amount of a refund due that individual for the prostate cancer research program.

1. The department shall reduce the designation for the prostate cancer research program to reflect the amount remitted in excess of the actual tax due, after error corrections, if the individual remitted an amount in excess of the actual tax due, after error corrections, but less than the total of the actual tax due, after error corrections, and the amount originally designated on the return for the prostate cancer research program.
2. The designation for the prostate cancer research program is void if the individual remitted an amount equal to or less than the actual tax due, after error corrections.
(d) Errors; insufficient refund. If an individual is owed a refund that does not equal or exceed the amount designated on the return for the prostate cancer research program, after crediting under ss. 71.75 (9) and 71.80 (3) and (3m) and after error corrections, the department shall reduce the designation for the prostate cancer research program to reflect the actual amount of the refund that the individual is otherwise owed, after crediting under ss. 71.75 (9) and 71.80 (3) and (3m) and after error corrections.
(e) Conditions. If an individual places any conditions on a designation for the prostate cancer research program, the designation is void.

2. The total amount received from all designations for the prostate cancer research program made by taxpayers during the previous fiscal year.
3. The net amount remaining after the administrative costs, including data processing costs, under subd. 1. are subtracted from the total received under subd. 2.

From the moneys received from designations for the prostate cancer research program, an amount equal to the sum of administrative expenses, including data processing costs, certified under par.

Amounts designated for the prostate cancer research program under this subsection are not subject to refund to the taxpayer unless the taxpayer submits information to the satisfaction of the department, within 18 months after the date on which the taxes are due or the date on which the return is filed, whichever is later, that the amount designated is clearly in error. Any refund granted by the department under this paragraph shall be deducted from the moneys received under this subsection in the fiscal year for which the refund is certified.
