Why do I have to file Minnesota state taxes in order to get my renters rebate when I collect minimal income of 930 month

According to the State of Minnesota, to claim the credit, you must file an income tax return and provide your Certificate of Rent Paid (CRP) information.

• Electronically: Use tax software to file your Minnesota income tax return online.
• By mail: Download and complete Form M1, Schedule M1REF, and the new Schedule M1RENT. Mail us your completed return and include copies of all your CRPs from the past year, or your refund may be delayed or denied.
