Withholding Tax Audits
field_block:node:page:body
During an audit, the Minnesota Department of Revenue reviews withholding tax returns to make sure we’re collecting the right amount of tax.
field_block:node:page:field_paragraph
We’ll send you a letter explaining our findings. If we made changes to your returns, we’ll explain them in the letter.
If you agree with the changes, review withholding tax returns filed for other tax years for similar errors on those returns. If you find more errors, you must file amended returns for those years.
If you disagree with any changes, you may appeal. For details, see Appeals Information.
We may audit your return within 3½ years after it is due or filed, whichever is later. We can extend this time limit in certain situations.
There is no time limit for audits if you have not filed a return.
If you have tried every option to resolve a tax issue, you may contact the Taxpayer Rights Advocate. Contacting the Taxpayer Rights Advocate is not an appeal and will not extend your appeal period.
