Minnesota Tax Rebate: How to Secure Your Payment

Minnesotans who have moved or changed banking information since filing their 2021 taxes must update their details with the state to receive a rebate check this fall. The Department of Revenue has opened a portal for eligible individuals to enter their new address or banking information. The rebate amounts range from $260 for individuals to $1,300 for a family of five, based on income thresholds.
