Residents of Koochiching County are getting some extra time to file their federal and state taxes.
Both the IRS and the Minnesota Department of Revenue are giving Minnesotans until May 17 to file their taxes.
Governor Tim Walz says it provides timely relief as residents continue to deal with the effects of the pandemic.
“This grace period for the individual tax filing and payment deadline provides timely relief to Minnesota families,” says Walz. “As we work to get through the COVID-19 pandemic together, my Administration will do everything we can to ease the burden on Minnesotans.”
The grace period does not include individual estimated tax payments.
“As Minnesota continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will again provide a grace period for filing and paying 2020 individual income taxes,” says Revenue Commissioner Robert Doty. “You do not have to wait until May 17 to file your return. The sooner a return is filed, the sooner the department can review and process the return.”
