Minnesota residents are receiving renewed tax rebates up to $1,300
The Minnesota Department of Revenue is Sending Out Rebate Checks to Eligible Residents
The Minnesota Department of Revenue is taking action to ensure that eligible residents receive their rebate checks. In the coming weeks, they will be reissuing uncashed and expired checks to those who qualify.
Approximately 128,000 one-time checks will be mailed out by mid-March. These checks can provide a rebate of up to $1,300 per family, offering much-needed financial relief.
Last year, the state distributed rebates to 2.1 million residents through direct deposit or paper checks. The amount of the rebate varied based on each individual’s tax status.
How the Rebate Works
- Joint tax filers with a gross income of up to $150,000 can receive a $520 rebate.
- Individual filers making up to $75,000 are eligible for a $260 rebate.
- For each dependent claimed, an additional $260 is added to the rebate, up to three dependents.
- This means that a family of five can potentially receive a $1,300 rebate for their 2021 taxes.
It’s important to note that while the payments are not taxable for state income, they are taxable on federal tax returns. This decision by the federal government has caused frustration for Governor Tim Walz, who expressed his dissatisfaction in December 2023.
If you believe you are eligible for a rebate but have not received it by May 1, it is recommended to contact the state for assistance. Details on how to file the payment on your federal tax return can be found on the state’s website.
