The MN Department of Revenue will begin adjusting 45,000 individual income tax returns on April 25, 2022 for changes to the standard deduction limitation calculation. The change will affect 2019 and 2020 returns as the result of a MN Department of Revenue error and not one of your tax preparer.
You may be affected by the change if you claimed the standard deduction and your federal adjusted gross income exceeds the thresholds listed below.

If you are affected by the change, you will receive an adjustment letter from the MN Department of Revenue. They will not be assessing penalties or interest on the balance due. If the balance is not paid within 60 days of the letter, they will begin charging interest and penalties on the unpaid balance.
