SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Rebate checks are on the way for Minnesotans.
Income tax rebates of $260 for individuals and up to $1,300 for families of five are already starting to show up in the bank accounts of about 2.1 million Minnesota residents.
The rebates add up to about $1 billion and are part of legislation to return a portion of a projected $17.6 billion budget surplus to taxpayers.
Gov. Tim Walz told reporters the rebates will help make life more affordable. Republicans call the payments paltry compared to the surplus.
