Education and Outreach Programs

field_block:node:page:body

The Minnesota Department of Revenue offers tax education and outreach for taxpayers requesting information and resources on Individual Income Tax, Withholding Tax, and Property Tax Refund.

Through education and outreach, we build partnerships with individuals, businesses, and tax professionals so we can understand their needs and provide tailored assistance, updates, and information. This ensures that taxpayers who must file and pay taxes are fulfilling their requirement.
