St. Paul – The Minnesota Department of Revenue wants to make it easier for Minnesotans to file and pay their taxes. To do that, the department is overhauling its website. The test version (or BETA) of the new website is up and running. Now, it’s up to the taxpayers to make it even better.
“An updated, easy-to-navigate website is one way we are enhancing customer service and improving how state government works,” Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans said. “We want your help in building a site that makes it easy for you to find the information and services you need, so please take a look around and send us your feedback.”
Taxpayers should visit the BETA site and send in suggestions to make the new website as user-friendly as possible. Go to http://beta.revenue.state.mn.us, then:

·Email us at dorweb.comm@state.mn.us
The final version of the new website debuts in May. It will feature updated information, improved search options and a fresh look and feel. Taxpayer feedback, as well as surveys, studies and test runs by real users were instrumental in upgrading the website and will be ongoing until the final site launches in May.
The BETA site will stay up for public evaluation through April, and the department will roll out improvements throughout that time. There will be periodic updates, and the site might be down for short periods. Scheduled updates are posted at http://beta.revenue.state.mn.us. The site is best viewed by supported browsers and may not work on all mobile devices at this time. View the system requirements page for more information.
Access the BETA site directly at http://beta.revenue.state.mn.us or from the current home page, www.taxes.state.mn.us.
