Minnesota to distribute direct payments up to $1,300 by September’s end.

Minnesota​ Residents to Receive State-Funded Payments

Exciting news for Minnesota residents! By the end of September, thousands⁢ of individuals and ​families will be receiving ⁢state-funded, one-time direct payments.​ These‍ payments, worth up to $1,300‍ per family, are part of Minnesota’s efforts to support its residents during these challenging times.

Property Tax ‌Rebates and Budget‍ Surplus

In August, Minnesota began sending ‌out property tax rebates, and the state ⁣Department of Revenue has announced that all payments⁤ will‍ be initiated by the end of September. This initiative is ​made possible by ​the state’s multibillion-dollar‌ budget surplus law, signed by Governor⁤ Tim Walz (D-MN).

The⁣ $2 million one-time tax rebate will be based on Minnesotans’ 2021 ⁣income tax returns. The best part is that the money will be‌ automatically distributed either by check​ or direct deposit, making it ‍convenient for recipients.

Assistance for Everyday Expenses

Revenue Commissioner⁤ Paul Marquart expressed his enthusiasm⁤ for the ‌rebate,‍ stating, “This rebate will help millions of Minnesotans pay for everyday expenses such as groceries, school supplies, rent, or child care.”⁤ The impact of these payments will undoubtedly be valuable to many individuals⁣ and families.

Eligibility and ‌Payment Details

All Minnesotans who lived in the state in‌ 2021⁢ and filed⁣ an⁤ income⁢ tax return or property tax refund are ⁢eligible for this one-time rebate. The⁢ adjusted ⁤gross income limit is $75,000 for single ‌filers and $150,000 ‌for married ⁢couples who​ filed ‍together.

Single filers can expect to receive $260,‌ while married couples will receive⁢ $520. Additionally, there will be an⁢ additional $260⁢ per ‍dependent,⁢ up to three dependents. This means that married couples ⁤with⁣ the ‌maximum number of dependents could potentially receive up to $1,300.

It’s ⁤important to note that the⁣ rebate is being handled separately ‌from the typical tax refund processing system. Therefore, taxpayers will not be able to track the progress of their rebate. However,⁢ if you expect to receive a payment‍ and⁢ it has not‌ been issued by October, officials encourage⁣ you to contact the department’s customer service operations ⁤for assistance.
