Include this schedule with your Form M1. 2024 Schedule M1CD, page 2 9995

2024 Schedule M1CD Instructions What is the purpose of this form? If you paid someone to care for your child or other qualifying person so you (and your spouse if filing jointly) could work or look for work in 2024, you may claim the credit for dependent care expenses. Am I eligible? If you (and your spouse if filing a joint return) received earned income, you may be eligible for a credit based on your qualified expenses. You must have documentation showing the expenses you paid for one or both of these: • Someone to care for your child or other qualifying person • Someone for household services To qualify for the credit, all of these must be true: • Your filing status may be Single, Head of Household, Qualifying Surviving Spouse with dependent child, or Married Filing Jointly. If you are Married Filing Separately, see “Married persons filing separately.” • Your adjusted gross income is less than $74,410 with one qualifying person or $86,410 with two or more. • The care was provided so you (and your spouse if filing jointly) could work or look for work. If you did not find a job and have no earned income for the year, you cannot take the credit. • The care must be for one or more qualifying persons. • The person who provided the care was not your spouse, the parent of your qualifying child, or a person you could claim as a dependent. If your child provided the care, they must have been age 19 or older by the end of 2024, and they cannot be your dependent. • You report the required information about the care provider and the information about the qualifying person in Table 1 and Table 2. The Minnesota credit is refundable, meaning you may benefit even if you have no state tax liability. This is different from the federal credit, which you can only use to offset tax. If you are a part-year or nonresident, you may be eligible for this credit based on your percentage of earned income taxable to Minnesota. Married Persons Filing Separately Generally, married persons filing separately must file a joint return to claim the credit. If your filing status is married Filing Separately and all of these, you are considered unmarried for purposes of claiming the credit. • You lived apart from your spouse during the last 6 months of 2024 • Your home was the qualifying person’s main home for more than half of 2024 • You paid more than half of the cost of keeping up that home for 2024 If you meet all the requirements to be treated as unmarried and meet the remaining requirements under “Am I eligible?” you may generally take the credit. If you do not meet all the requirements to be treated as unmarried, you cannot take the credit. Is there a penalty for fraudulently claiming a credit? Yes. If you file a return that fraudulently claims a credit that results in a refund, we will assess a penalty equal to 50% of the portion of the refund attributable to fraud. If a fraudulently claimed credit reduced your tax liability, we may also assess a penalty equal to 50% of the unpaid tax. Do I need proof of my payments? Yes. Save canceled checks and itemized receipts showing your payments for child and dependent care expenses. We may ask you to show these records if we have questions. Who is a qualifying person? A qualifying person is any person who meets the requirements for the federal credit for child and dependent care expenses. Generally, a qualifying person is someone who lived with you for more than half of the year and is either: • Your dependent child who is younger than 13 • Your disabled spouse or disabled dependent To determine if a child is a dependent, do not use income received as a Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) grant or allowance to or on behalf of the child in order to determine the amount of support the child received. If you were divorced, legally separated, or lived apart from your spouse during the last six months of 2024 and your child is not your dependent, you may claim the credit if your child meets the requirements of a qualifying person. In this case, the other parent cannot treat the child as a quali­ fying person. What expenses qualify? Qualifying expenses are the same as for the federal credit for child and dependent care expenses. Generally, qualifying expenses are expenses you paid for one or both of these: • The care of your qualifying person so you (and your spouse, if filing a joint return) could work or look for work • Household services so you (and your spouse, if filing a joint return) could work or look for work If you worked or actively looked for work during only part of the time you incurred expenses, you must figure your expenses for each day. There are special rules for temporary absences or part-time work in IRS Publication 503. Household services are services needed to care for the qualifying person as well as to run the home. Examples may include the services of a cook, maid, babysitter, housekeeper, or cleaning person if these services were partly for the care of a qualifying person. Do not include the services of a chauffeur or gardener.

Care of the qualifying person The cost of care for the qualifying person includes the cost of services for their well-being and protection. It does not include the cost of food, lodging, education, clothing or entertainment. You can include the cost of care provided outside your home for your dependent under age 13 or any other qualifying person who regularly spends at least eight hours a day in your home. If the care was provided by a dependent care center, the center must meet all applicable state and local regulations. A dependent care center is a place that provides care for more than six persons (other than persons who live there) and receives a fee, payment, or grant for providing services for any of those persons, even if the center is not run for profit. You can include amounts paid for items other than the care of your child (such as food and schooling) only if the items are incidental to the care of the child and cannot be separated from the total cost. Do not include the cost of schooling for a child in kindergarten or above. You can include the cost of a day camp, even if it specializes in a particular activity, such as computers or soccer. Do not include any expenses for send­ ing your child to an overnight camp, summer school, or a tutoring program. If you did not have expenses, you may still qualify for this credit. • If your child was born in 2024, see “What if my child was born in 2024?” • If you are a licensed day care operator, see “What if I am a licensed day care operator?” If you had expenses in 2023 that you paid in 2024, you may be able to increase the credit on your 2024 return. Use the Prior-Year Expense Work­ sheet for line 7 to determine your credit. What if my child was born in 2024? You may be eligible to calculate your credit using $3,000 of expenses for your child born in 2024, even if you did not have actual expenses for that child or only one spouse had earned income. If all of the following are true, complete the Worksheet for Child Born in 2024. • You had a child (or children) born in 2024 • You had less than $3,000 in child care expenses for the child born in 2024 or you or your spouse (if you are married and filing a joint return) earned less than $3,000 • You (or your spouse if you are married and filing a joint return) did not participate in a pretax dependent care assistance program What if I am a licensed day care operator? You may be able to claim a credit for the care of your own child if your child was younger than age six at the end of 2024. Your credit amount depends on your child’s age at the end of 2024. • If your child was 16 months or younger, the credit is based on $3,000 of qualified expenses • If your child was older than 16 months but younger than age six, the credit is based on the amount you would charge for a child of the same age being cared for in your home for the same number of hours (up to the maximum amount of $3,000 per qualifying child) Use the amounts above for entering qualifying expenses in column (d) of Table 2. Do not enter more than $3,000 of qualifying expenses for each child. Place an X in the appropriate box above Part 1. Line Instructions Round amounts to the nearest whole dollar. Married persons filing separately checkbox If your filing status is Married Filing Separately and you meet the requirements listed under Married persons filing separately to claim the credit for dependent care expenses, place an X in the box above Part 1.

Next, enter “See W-2” in column (b). Then leave columns (c) and (d) blank. If your employer paid a third party on your behalf to provide the care, you must give the information on the third party in columns (a) through (d). Column D Enter the total amount you actually paid in 2024 to the care provider. Also, include amounts your employer paid to a third party on your behalf. It does not matter when the expenses were incurred. Do not reduce this amount by any reimbursements you received. After completing Part 1 • If you received dependent care benefits, complete Part 3 next • If you did not receive dependent care benefits, you must only complete Part 2 next Part 2 – Table 2. Credit for dependent care expenses: Information about qualifying persons Complete columns (a) through (d) for each qualifying person. If you have more than two qualifying persons, attach a statement to your return with the required information. Column C You must enter the qualifying person’s Social Security Number (SSN). Be sure the name and SSN entered match the person’s Social Security card. If the child was born and died in 2024 and did not have an SSN, enter “Died” in column (c) and attach a copy of the child’s birth certifi­ cate, or hospital medical records. Column D Enter the qualifying expenses you incurred and paid in 2024 for the person listed in column (a). Prepaid expenses are treated as paid in the year the care is provided. In column (d) do not include any qualified expenses: • You incurred in 2024 but didn’t pay until 2025. (You may be able to use these expenses to increase your 2024 credit) • You incurred in 2023 but didn’t pay until 2024. (See instructions for line 7) • You prepaid in 2024 for care to be provided in 2025. You may use these expenses only to calculate your 2025 credit. To qualify for the credit, you must have one or more qualifying persons. You should show the expenses for each qualifying person in column (d). If you paid qualified expenses for the care of two or more qualifying persons, the applicable dollar limit is $6,000. The limit does not need to be divided equally. For example, if you paid and incurred $2,500 of qualified expenses for the care of one qualifying person and $3,500 for the care of another qualifying person, you can use the combined total ($6,000) to calculate the credit. Lines 2 and 3 If you are Married Filing Jointly, figure your and your spouse’s earned income separately. Enter your earned income on line 2 and your spouse’s earned income on line 3. Earned income for figuring the credit generally includes these amounts: • If you are filing federal Schedule C as a statutory employee, the amount shown on line 1 of Schedule C. • The amount shown on line 3 of federal Schedule SE, minus any deduction you claim on line 15 of federal Schedule 1. • If you use the optional method to figure self-employment tax, subtract any deduction you claim on line 14 of Schedule 1 from the total of the amounts shown on lines 3 and 4b of Schedule SE. • If you received church employee income of $108.28 or more, subtract any deduction you claim on line 15 of Schedule 1 from the total amounts shown on lines 3 and 4b of Schedule SE. • The amount from line 1z of Form 1040 or 1040-SR, minus any amount: • Included for a scholarship or fellowship grant not reported to you on federal Form W-2 • Excluded as foreign earned income (including housing exclusion) on line 43 of federal Form 2555 • Also reported on federal Schedule SE because you were a member of the clergy or you received $108.28 or more of church employee income • Received for work performed while an inmate in a penal institute • Received as a pension or annuity from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or a nongovernmental section 457(b) plan. This amount may be reported in box 11 of Form W-2. If you received such an amount but box 11 is blank, contact your employer for the amount received as a pension or annuity. If you received nontaxable combat pay, you may elect to include it in earned income. Including this income will only give you a larger credit if you (or your spouse’s) other earned income is less than the amount entered on line 1. Include the nontaxable combat pay on line 2 (or 3 for your spouse) to make this election. If you both received nontaxable combat pay, each of you may make your own election. The amount of your nontaxable combat pay is shown in box 12 of Form W-2 with code Q. If your spouse was a student or disabled Your spouse was a full-time student if he or she was enrolled as a full-time student at a school for some part of five calendar months during 2024. The months do not need to be consecutive. A school does not include an on-the-job training course, a correspondence school, or a school offering courses only through the internet. Your spouse was disabled if they were not physically or mentally capable of self-care. Figure your spouse’s earned income on a monthly basis.

For each month or part of a month your spouse was a student or was disabled, they were considered to have worked and earned income. Their earned income for each month is considered to be at least $250 ($500 if caring for more than one qualifying person in 2024). Include the amount on line 3. If your spouse also worked during that month, use the higher of $250 (or $500) or their actual earned income for that month. For any month they were not a student or disabled, use their actual earned income if they worked during that month. Line 5 — Adjusted Gross Income Enter the amount from line 1 of Form M1.
