The Minnesota Department of Revenue on Monday announced the process to send 2.4 million one-time tax rebate payments to Minnesotans.

“This rebate will help millions of Minnesotans pay for everyday expenses such as groceries, school supplies, rent or child care,” said Revenue Commissioner Paul Marquart in a news release. “We know it will be very valuable to a lot of people, and we look forward to sending payments out in early fall.”

Taxpayers will not apply for this rebate payment. The department will use tax year 2021 individual income tax or property tax refund returns to determine eligibility and distribute these tax rebate payments in the early fall.
