Minnesota Renters Credit

Hello.

My mother is retired, on SSA, and has a CRP. Minnesota now has this part of filing the income tax return. Minnesota requires a Federal return be included. Mom has no taxable income, so no federal file is required. Can she submit her Minnesota return without it to get her renters credit refund?

Thank you

She would need to prepare a federal return to include with her Minnesota return. To efile, she would need to file both returns. To file by mail, she would need to just attach the federal return to the Minnesota return.
