Eligible residents in Minnesota can expect to see tax rebates of up to $1,300 per family sent out via paper check in the coming weeks as the state wraps up direct deposit distribution.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue says direct deposit payment should have been sent out by the end of last week and will appear in bank accounts as "State of Minnesota 2021 Tax Rebate Program." All eligible residents who did not get a direct deposit will receive a paper check, which is in the process of being distributed.

The amount a family gets in the rebate varies depending on their tax situation. Married couples who file their taxes jointly receive a $520 rebate if they make a gross income of $150,000 or less, while individuals making $75,000 or less will receive $260 rebates.
Along with the base amount, an additional $260 is added to each rebate for each dependent an eligible Minnesota taxpayer claims, up to three. The maximum amount a family can receive from the 2021 tax rebate program is $1,300.

The state says the rebates cannot be tracked, but the Minnesota Department of Revenue says people should contact the agency if they have not received their payment by the month of October.
An estimated 2.1 million rebate payments will be sent out through the state, according to Minnesota officials. The rebates are coming as students are returning to classes, providing relief to families buying school supplies amid continued inflation.
