Distribution of special tax rebates is targeted for September for more than 2.5 million Minnesotans who qualify.
The one-time rebates are $260 per person — maxing out at $1,300 for a family of five. The rebates go to single filers who made less than $75,000 in adjusted gross income in 2021 or married filers who earned twice that.
The $1.1 billion rebate uses a portion of the state’s budget surplus. In an interview Wednesday, Revenue Commissioner Paul Marquart said the early fall goal for distribution will come in handy.
“That’s going to help pay for groceries, going to help pay for school supplies, help pay for rent, child care,” he said. “That’s going to be very, very valuable to a lot of people.”
