2/24/2020 – Issue 4520 for the Working Family Credit was resolved with this mornings deployment.
Issue ID 4520
Minnesota has implemented new requirements for the Working Family Credit this year to expand the population of people that qualify for the credit. In prior years, you must have been eligible to receive the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to receive the Minnesota Working Family Credit. Beginning with tax year 2019, you may be eligible for the credit if you are between the ages of 21 and 64 with no qualifying children or have income that exceeds the limitations of federal EITC.
We are currently working to make this change with the goal of pushing the change live on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
If you feel like you have taxpayers over the weekend that qualify for this credit, you can go ahead and file their federal return, tag the return and file MN as state only once the change has been deployed.
