A Minnesota tax law update signed back in May included rebate checks for millions of Minnesotans.

The Minnesota Department of Revenue will be sending direct tax rebate payments for tax year 2021 to millions of qualifying Minnesotans:

Married couples that filed a joint return and made $150,000 or less will receive a one-time payment of $520
Individuals that made $75,000 or less will get a check for $260
An additional $260 will be added to the rebate for each dependent (up to 3) claimed on your tax return. The additional payment for dependents is capped at $780
