The Minnesota Department of Revenue will open the state Individual Income Tax filing season on Feb. 12. The date matches the opening day for the Internal Revenue Service.
The filing deadline to submit 2020 Minnesota income tax returns is April 15, the same deadline for 2020 federal income tax returns. Tax software providers and tax professionals may be accepting and preparing tax returns before Feb. 12 and will submit those returns when the IRS and state systems open in February.
“Filing electronically and choosing direct deposit for your refund is still the most convenient, secure, and accurate way to file your return and get any refund you may be entitled to,” said revenue commissioner Robert Doty.
Free electronic filing is available for Minnesotans who meet certain requirements. You may be eligible to file electronically for free if your income is $72,000 or under.
