Renter's Credit

When you file your 2024 taxes, if you are a renter, you can claim the Renter's Credit as part of your Minnesota Individual Income Tax return (Form M1). You will no longer file a Renter's Property Tax Refund return (Form M1PR).

More Information Coming Soon
We will update this page as we have more information to share.

How do I claim the credit?

To claim the credit, you must file an income tax return and provide your Certificate of Rent Paid (CRP) information.

• Electronically: Use tax software to file your Minnesota income tax return online.
• By mail: Download and complete Form M1, Schedule M1REF, and Schedule M1RENT. Mail us your completed return and include copies of all your CRPs from the past year, or your refund may be delayed or denied.

What's new for 2024?

Renters will no longer file a property tax refund return. Instead, the credit will be added to your income tax return. The Renter's Credit is a refundable credit on an income tax return. It will be part of the amount owed or refund. You will no longer get a separate refund later in the year. 

What if I have questions?
