When a return or payment is late, the date it is received at the Department of Revenue is treated as the date filed or paid. Extension for Filing Return. If good cause exists, you may request a filing extension. Instructions Check Boxes At the top of the form, check if the return is: • an Amended Return: Check only if you are amending a previously filed return for the same period.

Payments Electronic Payments If your total insurance taxes and surcharges for the last 12-month period ending June 30 is $10,000 or more, you are required to pay your tax electronically in all subsequent years. You must also pay electronically if you’re required to pay any Minnesota business tax electronically, such as withholding tax. To pay electronically, go to the department’s website at www.revenue.state.mn.us and log in. You’ll need your ID number and bank routing and account numbers. When paying electronically, you must use an account not associated with any foreign banks. If you use other electronic payment methods, such as ACH credit method or Fed Wire, instructions are available on our website or by calling Business Registration Office at 651-282-5225 or 1-800-657-3605. Continued 1 2023 Form IG257 Instructions (Continued) Check Payments If you’re not required to pay electronically and are paying by check, visit our website at www.revenue.state.mn.us and click on Make a Payment and then By check to create a voucher. Print and mail the voucher with a check made payable to Minnesota Department of Revenue. When you pay by check, your check authorizes us to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account, and you may not receive your cancelled check. If you make your payment electronically, do not send in the voucher. Penalties and Interests Late Payment. If you don’t pay the entire surcharge due by the due date, a late payment penalty is due. The penalty is 5% of the unpaid surcharge for any part of the first 30 days the payment is late, and 5% for each additional 30-day period, up to a maximum of 15%. Late Filing. Add a late filing penalty to the late payment penalty if your return is not filed by the due date. The penalty is 5% of the unpaid surcharge. When added to the late payment penalty, the maximum combined penalty is 20%. Payment Method. If you are required to pay electronically and do not, an additional 5% penalty applies to payments not made electronically, even if a paper check is sent on time. Interest You must pay interest on the unpaid surcharge plus penalty from the due date until the total is paid. The interest rate for calendar year 2023 is 5%. To figure how much interest you owe, use the following formula with the appropriate interest rate: Interest = (surcharge + penalty) x # of days late x interest rate ÷ 365 Mailing Your Return Mail your return and all required attachments to: Minnesota Department of Revenue Mail Station 1780 600 N.
