  • How do I reset my revenue recapture password, or who do I contact to have it reset?Back to top

    Note: e-Services users should contact the Income Tax helpline at 651-296-3781 for assistance with e-Services passwords.

    New Users - Once you receive an email sent from the Minnesota Department of Revenue with your name and authorization code you can log in to the department's TAP system.​ If someone within your agency added you as a user, obtain your temporary password from them.

    First time users need to enter their user ID, temporary password and authorization code included in the email. Note, the authorization code can only be used once. Please be patient and wait for your email before trying to log in.

    Forgotten Password - Before contacting the department, try clicking on the "Forgot Password". You will receive an authorization code by email. You will be asked to answer your security question and enter and confirm a new password before going to the login screen. At the login screen you will be asked for the authorization code emailed to you. Note, the authorization code can only be used once. Please be patient and wait for your email.

    Calling to Reset a Password - If the "Forgot Password" option did not work, or you have exceeded your attempts to enter your password and are now locked out, please contact the Revenue Recapture Unit to get a temporary password. When contacting the department, please include the following information:

    • Agency Name
    • Agency 10-digit ID
    • User ID

    The Revenue Recapture Unit can be reached by phone at 651-556-3037 or via email at revenue.recapture@state.mn.us. Someone in the Unit will either call or send you a temporary password.

  • When an agency receives an overpayment, how do they find out if the money should be returned to the department or refunded to the debtor?Back to top

    Contact us by:

    Please provide the debtor's name, SSN (or last four digits), the amount of your overpayment, and your agency's 10-digit revenue recapture account number.
