The Minnesota Department of Revenue will be sending a welcome letter to you if you chose to receive advance payments of the Child Tax Credit. This letter will explain important topics, such as how to change or stop your payments, what happens if a repayment is needed, and more.
Will My Representative Receive This Letter?
