Tax Treatment of Federal Relief Funds
The American Rescue Plan Act excluded funds from some COVID-19 business relief programs from federal income for tax purposes. Minnesota has not conformed to these provisions, which means the funds are taxable for state tax purposes. For details, go to Tax Law Changes.

COVID-19 Frontline Worker Pay
The state has processed and sent Frontline Worker Payments to applicants who qualified for the program. The application period is closed. For program information and updates, go to the state Frontline Worker Pay website or Program FAQs (PDF).

COVID-19 and Telecommuters
From March 13, 2020, to June 30, 2022, Minnesota will not seek to establish nexus for business income tax or sales and use tax solely because an employee is temporarily telecommuting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
