Filing State Tax Late What Are the Penalties

[carli089]

Hi,

About 11 months ago I moved to MN from CA. I made a little over 10k last year and I received a nice refund from the federal government. I didn't need to file in MN because I had not made any money in MN during 2009 (except for student loans which I didnt think counted).

I want to file a return in MN for 2009 because it will help me establish residency here for school purposes. I want to know what penalties I will have to pay.

Thank you,

[Mr. Knowitall]

Thank you,

Filing a tax return in MN when you made no money in MN will not help you establish residency.

I think that is right, because I wouldn't be taxed anything I would just be paying a penalty so it doesnt make any sense for me to. Thanks
