The 2022 Minnesota State Income Tax Return forms for Tax Year 2022 (Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2022) can be e-Filed together with the IRS Income Tax Return by April 18, 2023. If you file a tax extension you can e-File your Taxes until October 16, 2023 without a late filing penalty. However, if you owe Taxes and don't pay on time, you might face late tax payment penalties. Tip: File on time, even you can't pay on time, as the late filing penalties are higher than the late payment penalties.

Prepare and e-File your IRS and Minnesota State Tax Return including resident, nonresident, or part-year resident returns with your IRS Taxes. The IRS and the MN State Tax Agency requires you to e-file a Federal Income Tax Return at the same time you e-file your MN Taxes. This is not an eFile.com policy but an IRS and State Agency policy. Thus, technically you cannot e-File anywhere - not just eFile.com - a Minnesota Tax Return without also e-filing the associated IRS Tax Return. But there is good news, please read on.

Detailed instructions on how you can only prepare and mail in - not eFile - a Minnesota 2022 Tax Return - here via eFile.com. However, you must download/print and sign the forms and mail them to the Tax Agency.

For Tax Year 2022, if you expect a refund or you don't owe taxes, you do not have to file a tax extension. However, if you believe you will owe taxes and can't file on time, you should take action and here are the options available for Minnesota:

  • If you do not owe Minnesota income taxes by the tax deadline of April 18, 2023, you do not have to prepare and file a MN tax extension. In case you expect a MN tax refund, you will need to file or e-File your MN tax return in order to receive your tax refund money.
  • If you owe MN income taxes, you will either have to submit a MN tax return or extension by the April 18, 2023 tax deadline in order to avoid late filing penalties. The extension will only avoid late filing penalties until Oct. 16, 2023.
