I thought I had to report the MN Tax Rebate from 2021 on my 2023 taxes. Why would I have to report this again?

If the state issued a 1099-MISC for 2024, then it would go on your tax return. It is taxable at the federal level but not the state level. If you received a 1099-MISC from MN for 2024, enter the 1099 under Other Common Income.

In MN, enter the same amount in the MN Tax Rebate box.

Your 2023 rebate would have been entered on your 2023 return. If the tax difference  (not income) is less than $25, you do not need to amend. If you need to amend your tax return, here is how.

Once your original return is accepted and the finances are settled, you can file an amended return. 

• Save a copy of the original return before doing an amended return. 
• See: 
  • how to file an amended return. - have to scroll down and open for your software type to see current year information.
  • I need to amend my state return.
  • Can I e-file my amended state return?
  • Can I e-file my 1040X to amend my return?
• Track amended return status online. Taxpayers can track the status of their amended tax return in English and Spanish using Where’s My Amended Return?  Amended returns take up to 16 weeks to process and up to three weeks from the date of mailing to show up in the system.
• Mail forms with tracking to ensure your privacy is protected and the documents safely reach their destination.
