Minnesota Revenue Department to reissue 128K tax rebate checks

The Minnesota Department of Revenue is making a third attempt to get one-time tax rebate checks to thousands who have not received them or failed to cash the ones they previously got.

Replacement checks to recipients who met income guidelines will start going out in the mail next week. They should all be out by the middle of March, the state’s tax agency said in a news release on Thursday.

Previous rounds of checks were sent by a vendor called Submittable Holdings, Inc. based in Missoula, Montana. This time they’ll come directly from the State of Minnesota, the department said.

Last year, the Legislature approved a tax package that included more than $1 billion in rebates. The first checks to more than 2 million Minnesotans went out in August and September. A second round of checks, to about 150,000 Minnesotans who didn’t cash their original checks within the 60-day expiration period, went out in November and December.

Now that the second round of checks have expired, the Revenue Department is trying one more time, spokesman Ryan Brown said.

The rebate is not subject to state taxes but must be reported on federal tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service ruled. Anybody getting a rebate was sent a Form 1099-MISC to use when filing 2023 individual federal income tax returns.

Individuals with an adjusted gross income of up to $75,000 in 2021 were eligible for a rebate of $260. Married filers with income up to $150,000 were eligible for $520. Families could also get an additional rebate check for up to three dependents, for a maximum of $1,300.

Filers who believe they should have received a rebate but have not should call the Minnesota Department of Revenue at 651-556-3000.

Langston Reynolds scored 21 points and scored the game-winning basket to lead Minnesota 67-66 past Northwestern in the final regular season game of the season for both Big Ten teams on Saturday.

Reynolds was 9 of 13 from the floor and scored the final four points over the last 26 seconds. He turned a three-point Golden Gophers (15-16, 8-12 Big Ten) deficit into a win with a layup with 11 seconds left, and scored 17 in the second half.

Cade Tyson had 15 points, while Isaac Asuma added 14 points and eight rebounds. Bobby Durkin scored 12, made 4 of 8 from behind the arc and had two steals.

The Golden Gophers had a 39-29 lead at the half after opening the game with an 18-2 run fueled by nine points from Asuma.

Nick Martinelli, the nation’s sixth-leading scorer (22.7 per game), had 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting and nine rebounds for the Wildcats (13-18, 5-15). Jake West added 14 points and hit 4 of 7 behind the arc, and Tre Singleton scored 10 to go with six rebounds and four assists.

Northwestern will be the No. 15 seed in the Big Ten tournament and face No. 18 seed Penn State on Tuesday in the opening round.

Minnesota will enter as the No. 11 seed and face No. 14 seed Rutgers in the second round Wednesday.

A couple mild days before chance of snow returns to northern Minnesota

A couple mild days before chance of snow returns to northern Minnesota

We are tracking more clouds around the Arrowhead today, but temperatures are warming up nicely to wrap up the weekend. Overnight lows were kept milder by a bit of a breeze, and that west wind will continue to push warmer air in, with sustained winds at 10 to 20 miles per hour today. By the afternoon, highs look to top out in the upper 40s and low 50s throughout the Northland.

Tomorrow will be a sunnier but cooler day for much of the Arrowhead. Winds will be rather similar to today, with temperatures remaining a little cooler, in the low 40s for the afternoon. However as we go through the rest of the week, we cool down rather quickly. Monday night will bring in a chance for snow across much of the region, and by Tuesday, we will be returning back below the freezing mark with a bit of a chill that will last through the middle of March, with highs in the 20s and 30s through next weekend.

I grew up in Central Minnesota, and my in weather and storms led me to pursue my passion for meteorology. I got my Bachelor of Science from Iowa State University, and my experiences with forecasting there led me to start my career as a Meteorologist for WDAY as well as The Forum.

How To Watch Orlando Magic-Minnesota Timberwolves Lineups, Injury Report, Betting Lines & More

The Orlando Magic have an opportunity to continue their surge on the road in Minnesota, where they’ll look to continue a win streak that began in L.A. with wins over the Clippers and Lakers.

The Magic are on a two-game weekend road trip that’s all business, featuring this contest against the Timberwolves and a matchup with the Bucks in Milwaukee on Sunday.

Orlando guard Anthony Black and center Wendell Carter Jr. returned from one-game absences to help the Magic defeat the Dallas Mavericks 115-114 on Thursday behind 19 points from Tristan da Silva.

Minnesota is perfect through three March dates and brings a five-game win streak into this matchup with the Magic. An 8-1 run dating back to Feb. 9 has lifted the Timberwolves into third place in the Western Conference, although their lead on current No. 6 seed Los Angeles (Lakers) is just two games.

The Magic have fallen behind the Miami Heat in the Southeast Division by a half-game, although they hold a tie-braker since they have defeated Miami all four times they’ve played. The Magic have slipped to eighth in the East. The entire Southeast would be headed for the play-in tournament if the season ended today.

Orlando is 13-15 on the road 13-9 against Western Conference foes. Minnesota is 22-11 at home and a solid 16-6 against Eastern Conference competition.

Magic hope to avoid three-game losing streak vs. Wolves

The Orlando Magic (33-28) visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (40-23) in the first matchup between these teams this season. After being swept in last season’s meetings, Orlando looks to win at Target Center for the sixth time in seven tries since they’ve had a lot of success there under Jamahl Mosley.

The Timberwolves won last season’s contest at home, which happens to be the most recent matchup in the series, 118-111 on March 14. Paolo Banchero scored 43 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the loss, while Anthony Edwards led the Wolves with 28 points.

Orlando had won five straight in Minneapolis prior to last season and are 8-5 over the last 13 against the Timberwolves. That has helped the Magic open a 44-27 lead in the all-time series, which dates back to 1989-90.
