Beginning with tax year 2025, the Minnesota Department of Revenue will accept electronically submitted amended Minnesota Income Tax returns. This was a popular request over the last few years, and we’re excited we can now offer this option! Amended Homestead Credit and business income tax returns are not eligible for e-file.
Software providers are not required to offer electronic filing for amended income tax returns. Some but not all providers plan to offer this option for 2025. Check with your software provider if this feature is important to you.
You must file an amended Minnesota return on Form M1X if any of these apply:
- An error is discovered on your client’s Minnesota return.
- The IRS made changes to your client’s federal return.
- You amend your client’s federal return.
What should I know about amending Minnesota returns?
- Each tax year has its own amended tax return form. Tax years 2024, 2023, and 2022 amended tax returns must still be paper filed.
- Generally, your clients must file amended returns within 3½ years of the due date of the original return.
- If your client filed as Married Filing Jointly, you cannot change the filing status to Married Filing Separately after the return’s due date.
- If changes require an additional schedule or form, or if a schedule or form changes, attach it to the amended return.
- If both the original and amended returns result in a refund, wait until your client gets their original refund before filing the amended return.
- Review our Amending a Return in Special Circumstances page if your client is divorced or filing a protective claim.
- You cannot choose to receive advance payments of the Child Tax Credit on an amended return.
- To add the Renter’s Credit, file Form M1X and include Schedule M1RENT and a copy of the CRP. Do not mail a loose M1RENT or CRP without Form M1X.
