Dear Neighbors,
I hope you are enjoying your summer. We’re extremely lucky to live in Duluth where we have such an abundance of opportunities to take advantage of summer. If you’re looking to head elsewhere in the state, Explore Minnesota is a good resource for information.
Tax Filing Info and Property Refund Tax Refund Reminder
Earlier this week, the Minnesota Department of Revenue released some information concerning filing of 2018 taxes next year. The department updates its filing system every year, but with the changes made in the recently-passed Trump federal tax bill, this year’s updates need to be a bit more involved to accommodate the countless differences between the state and federal tax laws. DOR has some frequently asked questions about the tax law changes here and questions about the 2019 filing season here.
I also want to remind everyone to apply for a property tax refund or renters credit if you haven’t yet done so. Many Minnesotans qualify for the refund, but too many forget to file for it. The deadline to file is August 15th. Take a few minutes and apply for your refund online or get more information at the Department of Revenue’s Property Tax Refund website.
US Water Alliance One Water Summit
In my capacity as a member of the Great Lakes Commission (GLC), I attended US Water Alliance’s One Water Summit in Minneapolis earlier this month. The conference was focused on sustainable, integrated, and inclusive approaches to managing water. |
