Substitute Forms Update
Thank you for your partnership in certifying your Minnesota substitute tax forms. The 2017 substitute forms will have a few changes for next filing season.
We updated the look and feel of our returns:
- There is a new Minnesota Revenue logo available on our website.
- The font for substitute forms is now Calibri. Our instruction pages will include the Times New Roman font.
- There will no longer be informational sidebars on the left side of tax forms.
Based on your feedback, we’ve eliminated the “red drop out” forms. After eliminating the red drop out areas, we’ve updated:
- Demographics areas
- Form IDs
We will be enforcing the unique four-digit ID at the bottom of the substitute form this year. The four-digit ID identifies substitute forms created by unique software products. We will refer to this number as the “software ID” number this year.
Our near final forms will be available on our website in the beginning of August. Immediately after the near final forms are ready, we will begin accepting submissions for substitute form approval.
Thanks for your continued partnership.
