Information Requests

The Minnesota Department of Revenue offers resources for tax professionals to obtain client information to help prepare tax returns or resolve other tax situations.  

Call 651-296-3781 or email individual.incometax@state.mn.us to request any of these records. You will need the following information:

• A valid Power of Attorney
• Your client’s:
  • Name
  • Address
  • Taxpayer ID Number
  • Date of Birth
  • Phone Number 

Copies of State Tax Returns

We can provide copies of Minnesota Individual Income Tax or Property Tax Refund returns filed within the past six years. See Request Copies of Previous Returns for more information.

If you need federal tax returns, you will need to request them from the IRS.

State Withholding Amounts (W-2 and 1099 Forms)

We can provide copies of current- or prior-year Forms W-2 and 1099 on file with Revenue. Copies will only include information reported to Minnesota. We also recommend requesting a wage and income transcript from the IRS to verify amounts reported.

Payment History

We can provide a history of any state tax payments your client has made to Revenue by contacting us.

Your client may also access their payment history through their e-Services account. If they do not have an e-Services account, they can create one. Your client will not have access to their payment history until their account has been verified.
