Personal Tax Return Extensions
October 15, 2026
Check on your refund
In prior years the IRS would give an expected day for your refund to arrive. With recent changes the only thing they are saying is that it should come in about 3 weeks. Minnesota should be more prompt.
Who we are, what to bring, where to find us
Who we are
Deziel's is a family-run office, preparing returns since 1991. We specialize in self-employed and small-business returns — artists, writers, musicians, performers and production workers — alongside returns for many other independent businesses and for families and retirees across the Twin Cities.
What to bring
Bring what applies to you. If you're not sure whether something matters, bring it — it is faster to set a paper aside than to go back for it.
Everyone brings
- Photo ID for you, and for your spouse if you're filing jointly.
- Social Security cards or ITIN letters for everyone on the return, including each dependent.
- Last year's tax return, if we didn't prepare it.
- For direct deposit: your bank routing and account numbers.
- Any letters the IRS or Minnesota Revenue sent you.
Your income
- Income forms: W-2s, 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-K, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R, W-2G, and SSA-1099 for Social Security.
- If you sold investments: your 1099-B or brokerage statement, and 1099-DA for digital assets.
- 1099-G, if you collected unemployment or had a state refund last year.
Your home
- If you rent: your CRP (Certificate of Rent Paid) from each landlord.
- If you own: your property tax statement, and Form 1098 for mortgage interest.
Your family and school
- Childcare: the provider's name, address and tax ID, plus what you paid.
- School: Form 1098-T for tuition, 1098-E for student loan interest, and your K–12 education receipts.
- Health coverage: Form 1095-A if you bought through MNsure, and HSA forms 1099-SA / 5498-SA.
- Charitable giving receipts.
If you're self-employed
- Your income and expense totals for the year, a mileage figure, and any 1099s you received.

Charitable Giving — the New Deduction and the IRA Route
Beginning in 2026, deduct up to $1,000 in charitable donations even if you don't itemize — a permanent change. And once required IRA distributions begin at 73, giving directly from the IRA keeps that money out of your adjusted gross income entirely.
Continue reading →Home Mortgage Interest Deduction
Beginning in 2026, the Act treats mortgage insurance premiums (PMI) as qualified residence interest.
Continue reading →More Taxes on Gambling
Gambling losses capped at 90% (was 100%). Only deductible against winnings.
