Previously renters filed a Renter’s Property Tax Refund return (Form M1PR) to claim the Renter’s Credit. Refunds typically went out this time of year.

As a reminder, you now claim the credit on your Minnesota Individual Income Tax return (Form M1). You no longer file Form M1PR to claim it.

When will I get my refund for the Renter’s Credit?

If you claimed the Renter’s Credit on Form M1, it was already credited to you. The credit decreases how much you owe or increases any refund due on your return.

How do I know if I got the credit?

To verify, check to see if you filed Schedule M1RENT, Renter’s Credit, and Schedule M1REF, Refundable Credits, with your income tax return.

What if I did not file an income tax return?

Since the credit is part of your Form M1, you must file it to claim the Renter's Credit. Visit our File an Income Tax Return webpage for more details, including due dates and electronic and paper filing methods.

What if I forgot to claim the Renter’s Credit?

If you already filed but did not claim the credit, you can amend your return. See the Forgot to Claim the Renter’s Credit section on our Renter’s Credit webpage.
