How do I tell Turbotax that I am not ready to file my Minnesota M1PR? (I have not received my property tax statement yet)

It seems like the program is asking questions to check for my eligibility to file the M1PR on the "Confirming Eligibility for Homeowners." One of the statements is "You received (or will receive) a 2025 property tax statement." If I say yes (in my case I "will" receive it but have not yet), it proceeds to have me fill out a form I don't have the details for as I have not yet recieved it. I want to finish my federal and state taxes and complete the M1PR later, but feel hesitant about selecting "no" becuase technically the answer is yes. Help?

You can file your federal taxes before your state taxes.

 

If you e-file your federal return, you must wait for it to be accepted before you can e-file your state. Or you can paper-file your state return whenever you're ready.

 

Here are two ways to skip your state in TurboTax Online:

  • Delete your state return, file your federal return now, and come back later to your state return.
    • You'll pay for your state when you file it.
  • When you get to the We've determined the easiest way to file your taxes screen, select Change next to your state return. On the Change filing method screen, select I'm not ready to file and Save.
    • You'll pay for your state when you file your federal return.

Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later?
