Today is deadline to file for 2020 prop tax refund, renter’s credit

Today (Mon) is the deadline for Minnesotans to file for 2020 (not 2021!) property tax refunds and renter’s credits.  Ryan Brown with the state Revenue Department says:

“The average refund for a homeowner right now is about a thousand dollars and for renters it’s around 700, so it’s a sizeable chunk of change for a lot of people.  We want to make sure that they file those returns before the deadline.”

Taxpayers have another year, until August 15th, 2023, to file for their *2021* property tax refund and/or renter’s credit.

And if someone has already filed, how soon can they expect their refund?  Brown says the bulk of refunds currently being issued are for renters:

“Homeowners, if they filed before July 1st for that 2021 refund, will start seeing their refunds hit late August and into September.”
