  • How do I get a Minnesota Tax ID?Back to top

    Your Minnesota tax ID is the seven-digit number you’re assigned when you register with the Department of Revenue. Generally, this is the same as your sales and use tax or Minnesota employer’s withholding tax number.

    It’s important to include your Minnesota tax ID on your return so that any payments you make are properly credited to your account.
