Your landlord is required to provide you a CRP by January 31, 2020. If your landlord does not provide a CRP by March 1, 2020, call the Minnesota Department of Revenue at 651-296-3781 or 1-800-652-9094.

If you are filing electronically, the CRP information you filled out in the steps above will be submitted with the e-filed return. Keep the CRP you received from your landlord with your tax records.

If you are mailing a paper return, you will need to attach a copy of the CRP along with your Form M1PR.
