Did you know that not all homesteaders are allowed to receive The Minnesota Homeowner's Homestead Credit Refund? Homeowners who do not have Social Security Numbers, but instead have Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN)cannot qualify for this important tax credit. This current gap in our state law directly impacts first-generation immigrants, communities of color, and working-class homeowners. Join us at MAR’s Government Affairs Open Forum to discuss the economic importance of ITIN homebuyers in the real estate market, how purchasing a home is different for ITIN buyers, and how a proposed bill in the state legislature might fix this disparity in Minnesota law. Guest speakers from Sunrise Bank and the Twin Cities Chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) will be there to educate members about critical resources to ITIN homebuyers and answer questions on the topic.
