Set up your Minnesota filing

When setting up your Minnesota return, you'll need to provide the following information.

If you're unsure about any of this information, check your state Tax Registration Certificate or call the Minnesota Department of Revenue at 651-296-6181 (say or press 6 for Other Sales Tax Options).

Do you have a physical presence in Minnesota?

Physical presence may include: an office, storefront, employee, salesperson, contractor, warehouse, inventory, or trade show attendance.

  • If you answer YES, you'll be asked how many physical locations you have. You’ll then be asked to provide the address for your in-state physical location.
    • Note: TaxJar only supports users who have a single physical location in the state of Minnesota

Your Minnesota tax account details

You'll need your sales tax registration information, which was provided to you by the state when you received your sales tax permit.

When did your tax registration take effect?

Enter the date your business first became liable for Minnesota sales tax. This is when your collection obligations began and should match the date you gave the state when you registered.

State Tax ID

Enter the 7-digit state registration ID you received when you registered.

Tax filing frequency

Select the filing frequency assigned to you by the state. 

You'll then see the first tax return we expect to file for you, based on the current date and the filing frequency you selected.

Review and submit

Take a moment to review your filing application. Once you've confirmed that all information is correct, click Submit.

Then: Give TaxJar power of attorney to file for you

To finish your setup in Minnesota, authorize TaxJar to access your tax account. We’ll send instructions via email.

  • IMPORTANT: Your TaxJar account is created using the email address associated with your Stripe account, so if the TaxJar team needs to contact you, this is the email address we use by default. (Follow these instructions if you want to change this email address within your TaxJar account).

Once power of attorney has been confirmed, TaxJar will review your information and finish setting up your filing.

What to expect next

After you approve the Power of Attorney request, here's what will happen:

  • Under review: Within a few days, TaxJar will review your submission for accuracy and process your application.
  • Automatic filing enabled: After access is confirmed, TaxJar will process your application. Then you'll be ready to file.
  • File your first tax return: TaxJar will email you at the beginning of each filing period to review your return before it's submitted.
