Tax Return Templates
Templates are provided below if you choose to import your return (s).
ASR, Alcohol Sales on Reservations
LB37, Distilled Spirits and Wine Shipped into Minnesota
LB40, Malt Beverages Excise Tax Return
LB41, Excise Tax Return for Brewers
LB56DS, Distilled Spirits Excise Tax Return
LB56F, Farm Winery Tax Return
LB56W, Wine Excise Tax Return
Each template contains a separate tab for each form and schedule that needs to be filed for that return type.
NOTE: Complete the schedule tabs and not the main form. The template will automatically calculate the schedule and carry over the appropriate amounts to the main form. On the LB56DS, LB56F and the LB56W you will need to enter the beginning Inventory and ending inventory to the main tab. Once you’ve completed the schedules, you should always check the main form in the first tab to verify the amounts and the calculated tax due.
If you are a small brewer that qualifies for the qualified brewer tax credit, enter this amount on line 9 of the LB41 Form.
DO NOT:
Skip any rows or columns when entering or loading your return data
Include any special characters, such as underlines, parentheses, minus signs or dollar signs.
This will cause your return to error when it is loaded into our systems.
