Minnesota is providing additional time until July 15, 2020, for taxpayers to file and pay 2019 Minnesota Individual Income Tax without any penalty and interest.
This includes all estimated and other tax payments for tax year 2019 that would otherwise be due April 15, 2020. It does not include:
- Estimated tax payments for Minnesota income tax due April 15 for the 2020 tax year.
- Corporation Franchise, S Corporation, Partnership, or Fiduciary taxes, though these taxpayers can receive an automatic extension.
The IRS extended the deadline for 2019 federal income tax returns, payments, and 2020 estimated payments to July 15, 2020, for individuals and businesses.
Business Income Tax Deadlines
The Minnesota due date of April 15, 2020 has not changed for Corporation Franchise, S Corporation, Partnership, or Fiduciary taxes. However, under state law:
- C corporations receive an automatic extension to file their Minnesota return to the later of November 15, 2020, or the date of any federal extension to file.
- S corporations, partnerships, and fiduciaries receive an automatic extension to file their state return to the date of any federal extension to file.
Why is the department offering more time to file and pay?
As Minnesota responds to the COVID-19 situation, we are providing this grace period for 2019 taxes for those who need it. We encourage:
- Minnesotans who expect refunds to file as soon as they are ready.
- Minnesotans who do not need extra time to file and pay to do so as soon as possible to help support our state’s response to COVID-19.
What if I cannot file or pay by July 15, 2020?
You may ask us to cancel or reduce penalties, additional tax, and interest for late filing or payment if you have a reasonable cause, including emergency declarations by the president and governor due to COVID-19. You may request this relief after we notify you of a penalty.
