Dear Neighbors,
You have likely already heard about new tax cuts that were recently approved by the Legislature and Governor Dayton. The Minnesota Department of Revenue has also released the following guidance for tax filers.
If you have not yet filed your 2013 Minnesota tax return, you should wait until April 3, 2014 to do so. The Department of Revenue will complete updates to their online systems by that date to account for tax refund changes.
If you already filed your 2013 Minnesota tax return, you don’t need to do anything right now. The Department of Revenue will continue mailing refunds as usual. After the April 15 filing deadline, they will review tax returns received before tax refund changes took effect then send any refund increase the same way you elected to receive your refund.
If you qualify for a bigger refund, the Department of Revenue will be able to make the necessary changes to your return using the tax documents you provided. If they are unable to do so, they will individually contact you by postal mail to request documents needed to amend your return.
For more information, click here to open an attachment with general guidance from the Department of Revenue. You can also contact me by phone at (651) 296-0573 or by email at rep.tina.liebling@house.mn with any questions.
Sincerely,
Tina Liebling
State Representative, District 26A
Chair, Health and Human Services Policy Committee
