Eligible Minnesota taxpayers who qualify will be sent property tax rebates of up to $1,300 per family by the end of September, and the state began distributing payments last month.

Part of the state's multibillion-dollar budget surplus signed into law by Gov. Tim Walz (D-MI), the state approved an over $2 million one-time tax rebate. Based on Minnesotans' 2021 income tax returns, money will be automatically disturbed either by check or direct deposit.

“This rebate will help millions of Minnesotans pay for everyday expenses such as groceries, school supplies, rent, or child care,” Revenue Commissioner Paul Marquart said. “We know it will be very valuable to a lot of people, and we look forward to sending payments out in early fall.”

Any Minnesota resident who lived in the state in 2021 and filed an income tax return or property tax refund will be eligible for the one-time rebate. The adjusted gross income limit is $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for married couples who filed together. Single filers will see $260, and married couples will receive $520, with $260 per dependent, up to three, meaning married couples with the maximum number of dependents could see up to $1,300.

The Minnesota Department of Revenue said all payments are expected to be initiated by the end of September. The rebate is being handled outside the typical tax refund processing system, so taxpayers cannot track where their rebate is. However, it encourages those who expect a payment to contact the department’s customer service operations if the rebate is not issued by October.
