Thanks for the reply. Now I’m back at square one. I still can’t find guidance about this on the State of Minnesota website although you evidently have. The only statement I can find from the state is on the Commerce page: “Commerce cannot provide tax advice and rebate recipients should direct any questions about the potential taxability of their rebate to their tax advisor.” Well, if the rebate is unequivocally taxable, why doesn’t the Commerce department just say that? I couldn’t find the AARP Tax Foundation opinion you referenced. However, the experts on the thread we are on have a different opinion than the AARP experts. As far as I know, neither the Inuit nor the AARP experts are employed by the IRS, so whom do we believe? (Rhetorical question.)
