Recent Law Changes

Minnesota tax code changes were signed into law on July 1, 2021. The changes relate to unemployment compensation, Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness, and other provisions affecting tax years 2017 to 2020. For the latest information, see Tax Law Changes and subscribe to our Tax Law Changes email list.

If You Cannot File or Pay by the Due Date

You may ask us to cancel or reduce penalties, additional tax charges, and interest for late filing or payment if you have a reasonable cause or are negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

You may request this relief, called an abatement, after we notify you of a penalty. See Penalty Abatement for Individuals or Penalty Abatement for Businesses.

You should pay your tax by the due date unless you are financially unable to make the payment.

Beware of COVID-19 Stimulus Payment Scams
The IRS will issue COVID-19 economic impact payments to individual taxpayers; check the IRS Get My Payment page for updates. The Minnesota Department of Revenue does not have a role in issuing these or other federal payments.

Be on the lookout for potential fraud. The department and IRS will never call, text, or email you to verify your banking information for any stimulus payment or refund. See Fraud and Scam Alerts for more information.
