Minnesota State Tax Program Form M1 latest version (March 18, 2026) introduces barcode issue.

[MagicLou]

The latest version of the Minnesota State Tax program (March 18, 2026) has introduced a new issue with the barcode printing at the top right of the form.  The barcode for the number 251111 is extremely fuzzy and appears to be double-printed on both pages of the form.  In addition, the control number at the bottom of the form's two pages should be 1555, but it appears to be overlaid with the number 9995.  This is not the case with the previous update which prints both perfectly.  I have not heard from the Minnesota Department of Revenue if there have been any rejections of TurboTax-prepared state returns due to the illegibility of the barcode and control number.  I am using TurboTax Premier 2025 Desktop.

Thanks @MagicLou I've passed this on for further investigation.

Hi @MagicLou This has been resolved in the most recent update. Can you confirm that you no longer see the barcode doubled? Thanks again!

Yes, this issue has been resolved, and I no longer see the double-printed illegible barcode at the top of each page of the Minnesota Form M1 as well as the control number at the bottom.   I have reprinted the returns where I first saw this issue and they printed perfectly in the new 04/02/2026 release of the Minnesota State Program.  Thank you so much for your quick attention to this issue!
