December 12, 2018: Minnesota Department of Revenue offers information and resources ahead of 2019 Filing Season for Tax Year 2018

Since the end of the 2018 Legislative Session, the Minnesota Department of Revenue has been working to update the state tax filing systems for taxpayer use in 2019. This process happens annually, starting after the end of the legislative session. This year, we are updating the tax filing systems to accommodate the differences between the federal and Minnesota tax laws.  There were significant revisions to the federal tax laws, but Minnesota’s tax laws have not significantly changed.
