Minnesota families can get a refund of up to $1,750 per child this tax season with the new Minnesota Child Tax Credit – even if they aren’t required to file an income tax return. Families can get this refund even if they do not owe taxes. This is not a loan.
Families may qualify for the Minnesota Child Tax Credit if:
Note: If using online software to complete a return, families should verify that the Schedule M1CWFC form was included, and the credit was computed correctly.
Families may qualify for free help filling out their tax forms.
Please be aware of scammers. The IRS will NEVER contact you by phone, email, text message or social media to request personal information – especially banking details – or ask you to provide a “processing” fee.
