Minnesota’s income tax form (Form M1) for 2024 includes an easy way to ask for information about health insurance coverage. Individuals who are uninsured can check a box on the tax form authorizing the Minnesota Department of Revenue to share their information with MNsure. After they file the Form M1, the consumer will get a letter from MNsure about coverage options and next steps. They will have a 65-day special enrollment period (starting from the date of the letter) to apply through MNsure, and if eligible, enroll in a qualified health plan.

The option to check the box is only available on the Form M1. The checkbox is not available on the amended tax form (Form M1X), so individuals cannot qualify for this special enrollment period by filing an amended income tax return.
