FAQs

How long to get Minnesota tax refund?

The fastest way to get your refund is to e-file your Minnesota state income tax return and choose direct deposit. However, if your return is incorrect, incomplete, or you filed a paper return, expect to wait a bit longer.

How to check Minnesota tax refund?

You can check your refund online using the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on the Minnesota Department of Revenue’s website. To use the tool, you’ll need your Social Security number or ITIN, return type, date of birth, tax year, and expected refund amount.

When does Minnesota release tax refunds?

Minnesota processes refunds after returns are received and accepted. While there’s no set issue date for all refunds, most e-filed refunds are issued within a few weeks of filing (paper returns may take several more weeks).

Note that these are general guidelines. Timing may vary depending on the type of return and the volume of returns being processed by the state tax department at the time. If you have waited longer than the expected timeframe and still haven’t received your refund, use your state’s refund status tracking tool (linked above) or contact your state department of revenue using the contact info above.

Why is my Minnesota tax refund under manual review?

If your return contains errors, missing information, or is flagged for potential fraud, it may trigger a manual review. Manual reviews take longer to process, which can lead to delays in issuing your refund.

Why is my Minnesota tax refund being offset?

State refunds can be offset (reduced or withheld) if you owe certain debts, such as unpaid taxes or child support, defaulted student loans, or other unpaid court-ordered debts. Tax agencies have the authority to intercept refunds to pay for certain debts. If you believe your refund offset was done in error, contact your state tax department.

What day are Minnesota tax refunds deposited?

There isn’t a fixed “deposit day” for state refunds. Basically, once your refund is approved, Minnesota issues it as soon as possible. Direct deposit usually arrives faster than mailed checks, but the exact day varies depending on when you filed and how quickly your return is processed.

Minnesota tax brackets

While calculating your state refund taxes, it is important to know about your state income tax brackets. Minnesota’s state income taxes are based on four tax brackets. Here is a look at the 2025 Minnesota tax brackets based on filing status:

Minnesota deductions, tax credits, and the personal exemption

Taxpayers in Minnesota pay one of the highest income tax rates in the country. Fortunately, Minnesota allows a dependent exemption of up to $5,200 per dependent (phased out for higher-income filers).

The Minnesota standard deduction for single filers and those married filing separately is $14,950, head of household is $22,500, and all other filing statuses are allowed up to $29,900 for a standard deduction (phased out by higher income levels). If you are married filing separately, you cannot claim the standard deduction if your spouse chose to itemize. You may itemize your deductions on your Minnesota return even if you claimed the standard deduction on your federal income tax return.

Various tax credits are also available on Minnesota state returns. For example, individuals can claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit, the Child Tax Credit, and the Working Family Credit.
