The below messaging was recently shared by MN DOR.

NOTE: The described issue has been resolved and with the fix being deployed to production on Friday, January 26th at 7am ET. This information was shared via Release Notes and all stakeholders added to the issue received an automatic notification once the issue was verified as resolved.

The Minnesota Department of Revenue is aware of an issue with TaxSlayer software not calculating the Minnesota Child Tax Credit (CTC).

What is the issue?

TaxSlayer software is not calculating the CTC when there is no earned income on the Minnesota income tax return. Your clients may still qualify for this credit even if they do not have earned income. Do not turn away clients if they do not immediately appear to be eligible for a refund.

We are working with TaxSlayer to resolve this issue. They will send automatic updates to resolve this issue by Monday, January 29.

What do I need to do?

If you prepare tax returns in TaxSlayer before this issue is resolved, save client returns as incomplete. Once the issue is resolved, reopen the returns and ensure the software calculates the CTC accurately before sending.

To stay informed on the software fix, visit the TaxSlayer blog and sign up for updates.
