Certificate or Rent Paid forms

Just in case you don't know, you are required to send your renters a certificate of rent paid (CRP) form by the end of this month.  The form is free and most investors mistakenly think it costs them in some way to issue the form.  You can get the Minnesota Tax form here https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/Forms_and_Instruct...

and the instructions to fill it out are here https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/Forms_and_Instruct...

Happy landlord.

    Nothing fancy. I made a Word version of the PDF, tinkered to get the formatting right, inserted mail-merge fields, made a spreadsheet with a row for each tenant and a column for each piece of info in the CRP, did the mail merge in Word (generating a CRP for each tenant), and then saved the CRPs as PDFs. It required upfront work, but now I can do all my CRPs every year in under 15 minutes. The ROI on that initial time investment will be huge.
