Bill > HF705

This bill requires the Minnesota Department of Revenue to provide a report by January 15, 2024, to the chairs and ranking minority members of the legislative committees with jurisdiction over taxes. The report must provide information on free electronic filing options for preparing and filing Minnesota individual income tax returns. The commissioner must survey tax preparation software vendors to gather information on the costs, capabilities, and security of providing a free electronic filing option for taxpayers. The report must also review other states' approaches to state electronic filing, assess taxpayer needs and filing practices, analyze alternative options for providing free filing, and analyze the usage of the Internal Revenue Service's Free File Program. The bill also appropriates $175,000 in fiscal year 2024 from the general fund to the commissioner of revenue for the free filing report.
