File early, pay later
With e-File Minnesota, you can file early when it’s convenient for you but not make your payment until the due date. If you pay electronically, you can set up your payment in advance without having the money withdrawn from your account until the day you choose. If you pay by check, just mail the payment to arrive on time.

Security
e-File Minnesota uses the most up-to-date security technology to ensure the privacy of your transactions. The backbone of the application is a 128 bit encryption scheme, the highest level of browser-based security currently available. In addition, the login and user authentication areas are designed to assure users that only they can access their sensitive tax filing information.
