Any caution on E-filing the Federal Tax Return, and doing MN Tax Return after the fact?

We are waiting on potential Minnesota unemployment tax law changes. Federal has already approved and the software is updated. Until we know what MN will do, is it okay to e-file Federal and do MN later?

One other thing to consider ... Minnesota is good at 'fixing' things due to retroactive law changes. If you file now and the law retroactively changes later, it is very likely the state will just fix things and automatically send out refunds for the adjustments.

Yes, but how long are you going to be willing to wait? The Minnesota Democratic House narrowly passed a law dealing with unemployment last week, but the law is tied to an increase in tax rates. The chances of a Republican controlled Senate passing that bill is somewhere between zilch and none. Back to the drawing board.

We considered that they would take care of it after the fact but unfortunately our confidence level isn't high as to when they will correct the issue as we have clients waiting on 2019 refunds yet and prefer if possible to put out more a final product.

I have high confidence in the State of Minnesota.

I have very low confidence in Intuit producing an accurate product.
