Minnesota HF30 requires the Commissioner of Revenue to establish a free electronic filing system for individual income tax returns.

Minnesota HF30 mandates the Commissioner of Revenue to create an electronic filing system for individual income tax returns, allowing taxpayers to directly file for free. The system must be available on the Department of Revenue website and coordinate with federal direct file systems. The commissioner may contract with a software vendor to develop the system, but the vendor cannot offer paid tax preparation services for Minnesota taxpayers while the system is active. The bill also appropriates funds for the system in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
