Minnesota Form Ig257 PDF Details

The Minnesota IG257 Form is the 2026 IG257, Firefighter Relief Surcharge Return, filed with the Minnesota Department of Revenue. All insurers that write or are authorized to write fire insurance subject to Minnesota premium tax must file it, even with no activity to report. The surcharge is 2% of fire, lightning and sprinkler-leakage gross premiums, less return premiums, on direct business from property within the Duluth, Minneapolis, Rochester and St. Paul city limits. Each return covers one period, Nov. 1 to May 31 (due June 30) or June 1 to Oct. 31 (due Nov. 30), and can be marked amended or no activity. By city it reports gross premiums, other deductions, net premiums and the surcharge, then adds penalty and interest to reach the total due or overpaid. Payment is electronic or by check with a voucher, and the instructions include a worksheet for gross premiums.
