3 What’s new for 2025? Advance Payment of Child Tax Credit Taxpayers may make an election to receive advance payments of their 2026 Child Tax Credit. You must be eligible for a 2025 child tax credit to receive advance payments for 2026. See Schedule M1CWFC, Minnesota Child and Working Family Credits, for more information on how to determine your eligibility for the credit and how to elect to receive advance payments. Reconciliation of Advance Payments of Child Tax Credit Beginning with tax year 2025, taxpayers who made an election to receive advance payments of their 2025 Child Tax Credit on their 2024 income tax return, must file a 2025 Minnesota income tax return. You must file a Minnesota income tax return even if you are not otherwise required to file a return. Your 2025 refund will be reduced, or your tax liability will be increased by the amount of advance payments you are required to include on your 2025 return. See Schedule M1CWFC for more information. Coerced Debt Subtraction If debt was incurred in your name, the debt was subsequently discharged by a court, and the court determined the discharged amount to be coerced debt, you are eligible to take a subtraction on Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions for the debt that was discharged and included in federal adjusted gross income. Consumer enforcement public compensation subtraction If you received consumer enforcement public compensation from the consumer protection restitution account after being harmed by certain unlawful behaviors of others as determined by a court order, you may take the amount received as a subtraction on Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions to the extent it is included in federal adjusted gross income. Foreign service retirement subtraction If you received a pension for foreign service, a portion of the amount of your federal pension compensation or other retirement pay received for foreign service may be taken as a subtraction on Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions. Service Employees International Union (SEIU) stipend payment subtraction If you are a member of SEIU and received stipend payments, you may be eligible to subtract the amount of federally taxable stipend payments you received from the Minnesota Department of Human Services on or after June 15, 2025, per a collective bargaining agreement between the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Healthcare Minnesota & Iowa and the State of Minnesota. Review the instructions for Schedule M1M for more information.

5 Did you purchase items over the internet or through the mail? If you purchased taxable items for personal use and did not pay Minnesota Sales Tax, you may owe Use Tax. Generally, Use Tax is the same rate as the state Sales Tax. If you live in a local tax area, include the Use Tax that is applicable to your local Use Tax. You may owe Use Tax if you purchase taxable items: • Over the internet, by mail order, etc., and the seller does not collect Minnesota Sales Tax from you. • In a state or country that does not collect Minnesota Sales Tax from you. • From an out-of-state seller who properly collects another state’s Sales Tax at a rate lower than Minnesota’s Sales Tax. (In this case, you owe the difference between the two rates). Add all of your taxable purchases. If they total more than $770, file Form UT1, Individual Use Tax Return, by April 15, 2026, for all taxable items you purchased during the calendar year. If your total purchases for personal use are less than $770, you do not have to file and pay Use Tax. To file online, go to www.revenue.state.mn.us and enter Individual Use Tax into the Search box. Then, select Individual Use Tax Return Online Filing System. Follow the prompts to file your return. Form UT1 and Sales Tax Fact Sheet 156 are available on our website or by calling 651-296-6181 or 1-800-657-3777. Local Use Taxes If you buy taxable items for use in the cities and counties listed in Sales Tax Fact Sheet 164, you must also pay local Use Tax at the rates listed.

If you received a property tax refund for these taxes on a 2024 Form M1PR, Homestead Credit Refund, subtract that refund amount from your property taxes paid when calculating your deduction on Schedule A. Deducting Vehicle License Fees—Federal Schedule A (Line 5c) You may deduct part of your Minnesota vehicle license fee as personal property tax on line 5c of federal Schedule A. Other amounts, such as the plate fee and filing fee, are not deductible and cannot be used as an itemized deduction.

You are not subject to Minnesota income tax if both of these applied in 2025: • Your permanent residence is in Michigan or North Dakota and you returned to your home state at least once a month • Your only Minnesota income was from personal or professional service income (wages, salaries, tips, commissions, and bonuses) Complete Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions, to file for a refund of withholding if you are a Michigan or North Dakota resident. For more information, see Income Tax Fact Sheet 4, Reciprocity. Follow the steps below to complete your Form M1 and Schedule M1M: 1. Enter the appropriate amounts from your federal return on lines A through F and line 1 of Form M1. 2. Skip lines 2 through 6 of Form M1. 3. Enter the amount from line 1 of Form M1 on line 18 of Schedule M1M and on line 7 of Form M1. Place an X in the box for line 18 of Schedule M1M to indicate the state of which you are a resident. 4. Complete the rest of Form M1. In addition to Schedule M1M, complete and enclose Schedule M1W, Minnesota Income Tax With held, and a copy of your home state tax return. Do not complete Schedule M1NR. If your wages are covered by reciprocity and you do not want your employer to withhold Minnesota tax in the future, file Form MWR, Reciprocity Exemption/Affidavit of Residency, each year with your employer. If you are filing a joint return and only one spouse works in Minnesota under a reciprocity agreement, include both of your names, Social Security Numbers, and dates of birth on your return. If your gross income assignable to Minnesota from sources other than from personal or professional service income covered under reciprocity is $14,950 or more, you are subject to Minnesota tax on that income. File a Minnesota income tax return and Schedule M1NR. You may not take the reciprocity subtraction on Schedule M1M. Aliens and Nonresident Aliens If you are not a United States citizen or national, you are considered an alien for tax purposes. You must determine your residency sta tus for federal tax purposes before you can determine your Minnesota tax responsibilities. To determine your federal residency status, see IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens. If you are considered a resident alien for federal tax purposes, you have the same filing and tax requirements of a United States citizen. You will determine your Minnesota filing requirement following the requirements listed under Minnesota Residents, Part-Year Resi dents, and Nonresidents. If you are considered a nonresident alien for federal tax purposes, you may be required to file a Minnesota income tax return de pending on your Minnesota residency status and Minnesota gross income. If you are a full-year resident under the 183-day rule and required to file a federal income tax return, you must file a Minnesota income tax return. If you are a part-year resident or nonresident under the 183-day rule and have gross income from Minnesota sources of at least $5, you must file a Minnesota tax return and Sched ule M1NR.

For more information about keeping your identity safe, go to: • www.revenue.state.mn.us and enter Identity Theft into the Search box • www.irs.gov (IRS) • www.ag.state.mn.us (Minnesota Attorney General’s Office) We will never ask you to provide, update, or verify personal information through unsolicited email or phone calls.

9 What do I need? • Your name and address • Your Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) • Your completed federal return • Your date of birth If you do not provide this information, your refund will be delayed. If you owe tax, your payment may not be processed, and you may have to pay a penalty for late payment. If a paid preparer completed your return, they must include their Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). Although not required on the return, we also ask for: • A code number indicating a political party for the State Elections Campaign Fund if you want to designate a contribution • Your phone number in case we have questions about your return • Your paid preparer’s phone number Name and Address Area Use capital letters and black ink. Print your legal name, not a nickname. Enter only one address - your current home address or your post offi ce box. If your current address is a foreign address, put an X in the Foreign Address box. If you are married and filing separate income tax returns, enter your spouse’s name and Social Security Number in the filing status area. Do not enter your spouse’s name or Social Security Number in the name and address area at the top of your return. Federal Filing Status You must use the same filing status you used on your federal return to file your Minnesota return. Put an X in the box for your filing status. If you filed federal Form 1040-NR and selected “If treating a nonresident alien or dual-status alien spouse as a U.S. resident for the entire tax year” for your filing status, put an X in the box for “Married Filing Separately” on your Minnesota return. Dependents and Qualifying Children Enter dependent information on Schedule M1DQC, Dependents and Qualifying Children. Use the same information you provided when completing federal Form 1040. Follow the instructions on Schedule M1DQC to determine who may be claimed as a qualifying child for the Minnesota Child Tax Credit and the credit for qualifying older children. If you have more than three dependents, provide a separate statement with all the information required for claiming a dependent on the schedule. State Elections Campaign Fund If you want $5 to go to help candidates for state office pay campaign expenses, enter the code number for your chosen party. If you choose the general campaign fund, the $5 will be distributed among candidates of all major parties listed. If you are filing a joint return, your spouse may also designate a party. Designating $5 will not reduce your refund or increase your tax owed. Important Tips • Round the dollar amounts to the nearest dollar. For example: 129.49 becomes 129, and 129.50 becomes 130. • Leave lines and unused boxes blank if they do not apply to you or if the amount is zero. • If your federal taxable income on line D, or the amounts on lines 1, 3, or 13b are less than zero, enter as a negative number. • Do not write extra numbers, symbols, or notes on your return, such as cents, dashes, decimal points, or dollar signs. Do not put a slash through the “0” (Ø) or “7” (7) or any other numbers. • Enclose any explanations on a separate sheet unless you are instructed to write them on your return. • Do not staple or tape any enclosures to your return. If you want to ensure your papers stay together, use a paperclip. Sign and Date Your Return An unsigned paper return is not considered valid. If you are married and filing a joint return, both spouses must sign. You may be subject to interest and penalties if you do not sign. If you paid someone to prepare your return, that person must also sign and provide their federal Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). Getting Started Reminder: Review your return before signing. You are legally responsible for all information on your return, even if you paid someone to prepare it for you.

The return must have the same filing status used to file the decedent’s federal return. To file a Minnesota income tax return for a decedent, enter the decedent’s name and your name on the return and print “DECD” and the date of death after the decedent’s last name. For more information, see Income Tax Fact Sheet 9, Filing on Behalf of a Deceased Taxpayer. Claiming a Refund on Behalf of a Deceased Person If you are the decedent’s spouse and you are using the joint filing method, we will send you the refund. If you are the personal representative, you must include a copy of the court document appointing you as personal representative with the decedent’s return. You will receive the decedent’s refund on behalf of the estate. If no personal representative has been appointed for the decedent and there is no spouse, complete Form M23, Claim for a Refund for a Deceased Taxpayer, and include it with the decedent’s Minnesota income tax return. Amending your Return and Reporting Federal Changes Generally, you have 3 ½ years from the return due date to amend an original return to claim a refund. Complete Minnesota Form M1X, Amended Minnesota Income Tax, and include an updated version of Form M1 and all applicable schedules. You have 180 days to amend your Minnesota return from either of these dates: • The date the IRS notifies you of a change they made to your federal return • The date you amend your federal return and it affects your Minnesota return. If the IRS changes your return and the changes do not affect your Minnesota return, you have 180 days to send us a letter of explanation. We will charge a 10% penalty on any additional tax and have six more years to audit your return if you fail to report federal changes within 180 days. Send your letter and a complete copy of your federal amended return or the IRS correction notice to: Minnesota Department of Revenue Mail Station 0010 600 N. Robert St. St. Paul, MN 55146-0010

2025 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 2025, 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 $76,150 with one qualifying person or $88,150 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 2025, 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 2025. • Your home was the qualifying person’s main home for more than half of 2025. • You paid more than half of the cost of keeping up that home for 2025. 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 2025 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 2025, see “What if my child was born in 2025?” • If you are a licensed day care operator, see “What if I am a licensed day care operator?” If you had expenses in 2024 that you paid in 2025, you may be able to increase the credit on your 2025 return. Use the Prior-Year Expense Work sheet for line 7 to determine your credit. What if my child was born in 2025? You may be eligible to calculate your credit using $3,000 of expenses for your child born in 2025, even if you did not have actual expenses for that child or only one spouse had earned income. You may only claim the credit for your child and not the child of another person born during the year. Check one of the boxes at the top of the schedule to indicate whether you had a single newborn or multiple newborns in 2025. Do not check both boxes. If all of the following are true, complete the Worksheet for Child Born in 2025. • You had a child (or children) born in 2025. • You had less than $3,000 in child care expenses for the child born in 2025 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 2025. Your credit amount depends on your child’s age at the end of 2025. • 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. If you are married filing separately and you did not check the box at the top of the form, do not complete this schedule. Part 1 – Table 1. Persons or organizations providing the care Complete columns (a) through (d) for each person or organization that provided the care. You may use federal Form W-10, Dependent Care Provider’s Identification and Certification, or any other source listed in its instructions to get the information from the care provider. If you do not give correct or complete information, we may disallow your credit and exclusion. If you have more than two care providers, attach a state ment to your return with the required information.

Columns A and B Enter the care provider’s name and address. If you were covered by your employer’s dependent care plan and your employer furnished the care (either at your workplace or by hiring a care provider), enter your employer’s name in column (a). 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 2025 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 2025 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 2025 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 2025 but didn’t pay until 2026. (You may be able to use these expenses to increase your 2025 credit.) • You incurred in 2024 but didn’t pay until 2025. (See instructions for line 7.) • You prepaid in 2025 for care to be provided in 2026. You may use these expenses only to calculate your 2026 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 2025. 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 2025). 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.

2025 Schedule M1CWFC Instructions Purpose of this Schedule Use this schedule to determine the amount of your Minnesota Working Family Credit and Child Tax Credit for 2025 and your Advance Child Tax Credit Payments and Minimum Credit Base for 2026. You must complete Schedule M1DQC, Dependents and Qualifying Children, to determine who is a qualifying child and qualifying older child. The Working Family Credit is four percent of your first $9,480 of earned income plus an additional amount for up to three qualifying older children. See Schedule M1DQC to determine who is a qualifying older child. For 2025, the maximum working family credit is: • $379 with zero qualifying older children • $1,379 with one qualifying older child • $2,649 with two qualifying older children • $3,089 with three or more qualifying older children You may claim the credit for qualifying older children and child tax credit even if you have no earned income. The Minnesota Child Tax Credit is $1,750 for each qualifying child under the age of 18. See Schedule M1DQC to determine who you may claim as a qualifying child for the child tax credit. The Working Family Credit and Child Tax Credit are reduced when your adjusted gross income exceeds $31,950 ($37,910 if married filing jointly). The amount of the credit is reduced by 12 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI) that exceeds the limit. If you had at least one qualifying older child but no qualifying child for the child tax credit, your credit is reduced by 9 percent of AGI exceeding the limit. If you, your spouse (if married and filing a joint return) or your qualifying children do not have a Social Security Number, you may use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to claim these credits. What’s new Beginning with tax year 2025, all taxpayers who elected to receive advance payments on their 2024 individual income tax return, must file Form M1, Individual Income Tax, and must include Schedule M1CWFC. You will use Schedule M1CWFC to reconcile advance payments of your 2025 Child Tax Credit you already received. You must file Schedule M1CWFC even if you are not eligible to claim the credits on Schedule M1CWFC in 2025. If you elected to received advance payments of your 2025 tax credit, you will receive a Summary Letter from Revenue in January of 2026. This letter includes information needed to complete Lines A, B, and C. If you did not receive a letter, contact us to have the letter resent and to get the information you need to complete your return. You may elect to receive advance payments of your 2026 Child Tax Credit if you are eligible for the 2025 Child Tax Credit. See additional information under Advance Payment of 2026 Child Tax Credit. Beginning with tax year 2025, you may be eligible for a Minimum Credit Base which is up to 50% of your Child Tax Credit received in the prior year.

Section 3 — Advance Payment of 2026 Child Tax Credit You may elect to receive advance payment of your 2026 Child Tax Credit by checking the box at the top of Schedule M1CWFC. You must be eligible for a child tax credit in 2025 to receive advance payments for 2026. If you receive advance payments, you may have to repay the advances. See Reconciliation of advance payments for more information. If you elect to receive advance payments you: • Are eligible to claim a 2026 Minimum Credit Base (See Tax Year 2026 Minimum Credit Base for more information) • Must file a 2026 income tax return even if you are not required to file a Minnesota return • Must file a 2026 income tax return even if you no longer have qualifying children for the child tax credit If you elect to receive advance payments of your 2026 child tax credit you must file a 2026 income tax return. You may elect to receive advance payments if all of these are true: • You file your original return on or before April 15 • You have qualifying children under the age of 17 at the end of 2025 • You were a resident of Minnesota on December 31, 2025 Married Filing Jointly If you are married and filing a joint return, each spouse is considered to have received half of the total advance payments on a joint return. If you are no longer married, both spouses are required to file 2026 Minnesota Individual Income tax returns, with 50% of all advance payments attributed to each former spouse. Deceased Spouse If you are filing as Married Filing Joint and one spouse died prior to filing your 2026 return, all advance payments you receive in 2026 are attributed to the surviving spouse. The surviving spouse is required to file a 2026 Minnesota Individual Income tax return claiming all of the advance payments. Timing of Advance Payments If you are eligible and elect to receive the advance payments, the payments will begin after July 1. The payments will be made in three equal amounts. For more information about advance payments go to our website at revenue.state.mn.us and enter advance child tax credit pay ments into the Search box. Amending your return You cannot elect to receive advance payments on an amended return if you did not already elect to receive advance payments on your original return. If you amend your income tax return and there is a change to your child tax credit, you will no longer receive advance payments of your 2026 child tax credit. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients SNAP benefits or eligibility for benefits may be impacted if you received advance payments of your Child Tax Credit. If you choose to re ceive the Child Tax Credit with your return during tax filing season, it will not impact your eligibility or benefit amount for SNAP. For more information, contact the SNAP center at the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families at 1-800-657-3698 or online at dcyf.mn.gov/snap-ctc. Tax Year 2026 Minimum Credit Base If you receive advance payments of your 2026 credit, you may be eligible for the Minimum Credit Base on your 2026 return. The Minimum Credit Base is based on 50% of your 2025 child tax credit but reduced if you have fewer qualifying children for the child tax credit in 2026 than you had in 2025. For more information on the Minimum Credit Base, go to our website at revenue.state.mn.us and enter advance child tax credit payments into the Search box.
Deposit information If you want the advance payments for your 2026 Child Tax Credit by direct deposit, provide the bank routing and account information. The routing number must have nine digits. The account number may contain up to 17 digits, which includes numbers and letters. Leave out any hyphens, spaces, or symbols. If the routing or account number is incorrect or is not accepted by your financial institution, we will send your refund as a paper check. We may also issue your refund by check if we adjusted your return or recaptured part of your refund to pay a debt you owe. You must use an account not associated with any foreign banks. By completing line 32, you are authorizing us and your financial institution to initiate electronic credit entries and, if necessary, debit entries and adjustments for any credits made in error. If you do not check the box, or enter bank account information, you will receive advance payments by check. Reconciliation of advance payments for 2026 If you elect to receive advance payments of your 2026 child tax credit, you must file a 2026 Minnesota income tax return and compare the payments you received to your eligible credit. If the total advance payments you received are greater than the total credit you are eligible for, you will have to repay the excess payment amount. The excess will be added to your tax due for the year and will reduce your refund or increase your tax liability. For example, you may have to repay some or all of your advance payments of your child tax credit on your 2026 income tax return if: • You have fewer qualifying children on your 2026 return • You are no longer eligible for the 2026 Minimum Credit • Your advance payments exceed your 2026 tax refund • You were a full-year resident in 2025 and became a part-year or non-resident in 2026 For more information on reconciliation of advance payments, go to our website at revenue.state.mn.us and enter advance child tax credit payments into the Search box.

2025 Schedule M1DQC Instructions Purpose of this Schedule Use this schedule to provide information regarding individuals you are claiming as a dependent on Form M1 and as a qualifying child on Schedule M1CWFC, Minnesota Child and Working Family Credits. Dependents. You must claim the same dependents on your Minnesota individual income tax return that you claimed on your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Include information about your dependents on rows 1 through 5 and check the box in row 6 for each dependent. Qualifying child. A qualifying child is a child who generally meets the definition of a qualifying child for the federal earned income tax credit. They must pass all four qualifying tests (age, relationship, residency, and joint return) and cannot be claimed by more than one person as a qualifying child. A child may be a qualifying child for Minnesota purposes if they have a Social Security number, an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), or an adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN). How do I claim a qualifying child on Schedule M1DQC? Use rows 7 through 11 to provide information about qualifying children. If you did not claim the child as a dependent, you must complete rows 1 through 5 before continuing to rows 7 through 11. If you completed Schedule EIC (Form 1040), enter the same number of months the child lived with you in row 7 that you entered on Schedule EIC, then follow the instructions for rows 8 through 11. If you did not complete Schedule EIC, follow the instructions for rows 7 through 11. Note: IRS Form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent, cannot be used to determine if a child is a qualifying child for the Minnesota child tax credit, credit for qualifying older children, dependent care credit, or education credit. If you are the custodial parent and release your claim for the exemption for your child using Form 8332, you may still be eligible to claim the child as a qualifying child on this schedule if they meet the four qualifying tests. Only one parent may claim the child as a qualifying child. Instructions Rows 1 through 5 Use rows 1 through 5 to provide information about the dependents and qualifying children you are claiming on your Minnesota return. If you claimed dependents on your federal return, use the same information you provided when completing federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR in rows 1 through 5 of this schedule. Row 6 Check the box in row 6 if you claimed the individual as a dependent on your federal return. Row 7 Enter the number of months they lived with you during 2025. If they lived with you for more than half of 2025 but less than 7 months, enter “7.” If they were born or died in 2025 and your home was their home for more than half the time they were alive during 2025, enter “12.” If they lived with you less than six months during 2025, do not complete rows 8 through 11. You cannot claim the Minnesota child tax credit for a child who did not live with you for more than half of the year, even if you paid most of the child’s living expenses. If you entered less than 6 months in row 7, do not continue to row 8 unless one of the these applies: • Birth • Death • Kidnapping, see “Exception to time lived with you” in the instructions for Form 1040, line 27 • Temporary absence Temporary absences by you or the child for special circumstances, such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or deten tion in a juvenile facility, count as time the child lived with you. A child is considered to have lived with you for more than half of 2025 if the child was born or died in 2025 and your home was the child’s home for more than half the time the child was alive. If you adopted the child in 2025, the child was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you in 2025, or the child was an eligible foster child placed with you during 2025 and your main home was the child’s main home for more than half the time since the child was adopted or placed with you in 2025, then the child is considered to have lived with you for more than half of 2025. Rows 8 through 11 – Qualifying Child Follow the steps below to determine who you may claim as a qualifying child for the Minnesota child tax credit or the credit for qualifying older children on Schedule M1CWFC. Complete rows 8 through 11 based on your responses to the steps for each individual. Continued

Should I file Schedule M1MT? If you had to pay federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you filed your federal Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, you must com plete Schedule M1MT, Alternative Minimum Tax, to determine if you are required to pay Minnesota AMT. You may be required to pay Minnesota AMT even if you did not have to pay federal AMT. Before you can complete Schedule M1MT, you must first complete Part I of federal Form 6251, even if you were not required to file Form 6251 with your federal return. You must enclose the completed federal Form 6251 with your Form M1, Individual Income Tax. Line Instructions Round amounts to the nearest whole dollar. Line 1—Federal adjusted gross income Enter the amount from line 1 of Form M1. Line 2—Other adjustments and preferences Include amounts from lines 2c through 3 of federal Form 6251 and any AMT adjustment from Schedule K-1. Line 3—Adjustments to Minnesota Alternative Minimum Tax Enter the amount from line 23 of Schedule M1NC. Line 4 - Other additions from Schedule M1MB Include the amounts from lines 1, 4, and 5 of Schedule M1MB, Business Income Additions and Subtractions. Line 5—State and Municipal Bond Interest from Outside Minnesota Line 6—Intangible Drilling Costs If, for regular tax purposes, you elected the optional 60-month write-off under section 59(e) of the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) for all property in this category, skip line 6. No adjustment is needed. Intangible drilling costs (IDCs) from oil, gas, and geothermal wells are a tax preference item to the extent that the excess IDCs exceed 65% of the net income from the wells. Compute the tax preference item separately for oil and gas properties and for geothermal properties. Compute excess IDCs as follows: 1. Figure the amount of your IDCs allowed for regular tax purposes under I.R.C. section 263(c), but do not include any section 263(c) deduction for nonproductive wells. 2. Subtract from step 1 the amount that would have been allowed had you amortized these IDCs over a 120-month period starting with the month the well was placed in production. If you prefer not to use the 120-month period, you can elect to use any method permissible in determining cost depletion. Determine your net income by taking the gross income you received or accrued during the tax year from oil, gas, and geothermal wells and reducing it by the deductions allocable to these properties (reduced by the excess IDCs). When refiguring net income, use only income and deductions allowed for AMT purposes. Line 7—Depletion In the case of oil wells and other wells of nonintegrated oil companies, enter the amount by which your depletion deduction under I.R.C. section 611, exceeds the adjusted basis of the property at the end of your tax year. In computing your year-end adjusted basis, use the rules of I.R.C. section 1016. Do not reduce the adjusted basis by the current year’s depletion. Figure the excess amount separately for each property. Only depreciation that exceeds the adjusted basis of a property is treated as a tax preference amount. Note: Do not include any amounts you included on line 2 of this schedule. Line 18 — Other subtractions from Schedule M1M and M1MB Add the amounts from: • Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions, lines 11-12, 17-23, 25, 28-30, 34-37 • Schedule M1MB, Business Income Additions and Subtractions, lines 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, and 21 Worksheet for Line 5 1 Add lines 1 and 2 of Schedule M1M . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Enter the amount of non-Minnesota municipal bond interest included on line 2g of federal Form 6251. . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Subtract step 2 from step 1.

If you received survivor benefits based on a pension earned by a coordinated member, check this box as if you were the coordinated member. Coordinated members are not eligible for the Qualified Public Pension Subtraction unless they were converted from a basic member to a coordinated member during their service. The coordinated member may be eligible for the Social Security Subtraction (see Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions). Recipients of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) pension are considered coordinated members for the purposes of this schedule. Basic to Coordinated Member Conversion: A pension member whose service began as a basic member may have been converted to a coor dinated member during their career. The table below lists dates when these conversions may have occurred based on their pension plan. If you were converted from a basic member to a coordinated member of the pension plan during your service, check the Basic to Coordinated Member Conversion box. If you received survivor benefits based on a pension earned by the converted pension member, check this box as if you were the pension member. Converted members must complete the Worksheet for Line 1, found later in these instructions, when comput ing the subtraction. The table below lists each qualified public pension and the general date when basic members may have been converted to coordinated mem bers: Qualified Public Pension Basic to Coordinated Member Conversion Date Public Employee Retirement Association (PERA) January 1, 1968 Public Employees Police and Fire All are basic members (no conversion date) Teachers’ Retirement Association (TRA) January 1, 1960 St. Paul Teachers Retirement Fund July 1, 1978 State agency law enforcement retirement fund All are basic members (no conversion date) Local Government Correctional Service Retirement Plan April 1, 2004 Legislators plan January 1, 2000 Federal government retirement plan January 1, 1984 Plans administered by another state or its political subdivisions or the District of Columbia if they allow a similar or reciprocal subtraction or exemption Contact your pension plan administrator Note: This table provides a general breakdown of the pension conversion dates, but a particular change date may not apply to your specific pension. For example, a pension which was absorbed by another pension plan administrator may have a different change date. Other smaller pensions that are subcategorized within these large pensions may also have a different change date. To help you determine the exact date of your pension’s change from a basic plan to a coordinated plan, contact the Social Security Administration or your pension administrator. Please note that not all pension plan administrators have the data on Social Security tax payments their members paid while they were work ing, and your pension plan administrator may not know when you were converted from a basic member to a coordinated member. If your public pension’s conversion date does not reflect the date in the table above, complete Schedule M1QPEN and attach a letter from your pension plan administrator listed above indicating the conversion date. If your public pension was absorbed by a pension plan administrator listed above, you may still be eligible for the subtraction. Complete Schedule M1QPEN and attach a letter from your current pension plan administrator documenting the name of the old pension administrator, when the new administrator took over your pension plan, whether you contributed to Social Security based on the same service, and when you were converted from a basic member to a coordinated member (if applicable).
Income Limits If your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is greater than the amount below based on your filing status, you do not qualify for this subtraction. Filing Status AGI Eligibility Limit Single $103,489 Head of Household $103,489 Married Filing Jointly $127,319 Qualifying Surviving Spouse $127,319 Married Filing Separately $73,159 Line Instructions Line 1 — Qualified Public Pension Plan Payments Include your total qualified public pension plan payments that were included in adjusted gross income. If your pension was not federally tax able, you do not qualify for the subtraction. If only a portion of your pension was federally taxable, include only the federally taxable portion on line 1. If you receive multiple qualified public pensions, include all taxable qualified public pension payments on line 1. If you are filing by paper and receive multiple qualified public pensions, include a separate statement listing the name of each pension administrator, their payer TIN number (found on Form 1099-R), and the amount of the qualified payments added to line 1 of this schedule. Do not include any portion of your public pension used to calculate the following subtractions on Schedule M1M: • Federal active-duty military pay subtraction on line 20 • Minnesota National Guard pay subtraction on line 21 • Non-resident federal active-duty military pay subtraction on line 22 • Military pensions and retirement subtraction on line 25 • Foreign service retirement subtraction on line 36 If you were converted from a basic member to a coordinated member during your service, you must complete the worksheet below. Note: If you are receiving pension payments as a survivor benefit, complete the worksheet as if you were the member who contributed to the pension. Line 1 example scenario 1: An employee worked for the federal government as a mechanic for 32 years (384 months), during which they contributed to a federal government retirement plan. In four of those years (48 months), they paid into only their pension as a basic member. In the remaining 28 years (336 months), they paid into both their pension and Social Security as a coordinated member. They received feder ally taxable pension income of $10,000 from their qualified retirement plan. They take 48 months of pension payments and divide it by the total 384 months to get 0.125. Then, they multiply this percentage by $10,000 to get $1,250. They will use this amount on line 1 of Schedule M1QPEN when computing their subtraction amount. Line 1 example scenario 2: An employee worked as a corrections officer while contributing to the Local Government Correctional Service Retirement Plan until they retired in 2002. They were a basic member for their entire length of service, retiring before they would have been converted to a coordinated member in 2004. Their spouse worked as a firefighter while contributing to the Public Employees Police and Fire plan until they retired in 2003. They were also a basic member for their entire length of service. Both spouses received taxable payments from their respective qualified public pension plans in 2025. The retired corrections officer received $50,000 in taxable qualified pension payments, and the firefighter received $30,000 in taxable qualified pension payments. They will use $80,000 on line 1 of Schedule M1QPEN when computing their subtraction amount. Line 4 — Adjusted Gross Income Enter your adjusted gross income from line 1 of Form M1. Questions?

2025 Schedule M1RENT Instructions Purpose of this Schedule Use this schedule to determine the amount of your renter’s credit for 2025. If you are claiming the dependent subtraction on line 7 of this schedule, you must also complete Schedule M1DQC, Dependents and Qualifying Children. Household income for the renter’s credit is your adjusted gross income minus subtractions for: • Those over 65 or disabled. • Dependents claimed on Schedule M1DQC • Service Employees International Union (SEIU) stipends. If you are a part-year resident, household income only includes adjusted gross income received while a Minnesota resident. If you are married filing separately, your household income includes your spouse’s income while you were married and living together. What if I did not get a CRP (Certificate of Rent Paid) from my property owner or their managing agent by February 1st? Contact your property owner or the managing agent to request a CRP. If they do not provide a CRP, contact us. What if my CRP is incorrect? Request a corrected CRP from your property owner or managing agent. If they do not provide a corrected CRP, contact us. 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, you may be assessed a penalty equal to 50% of the portion of the refund attributable to fraud. If a fraudulently claimed credit reduced your tax liability, you may also be assessed a penalty equal to 50% of the unpaid tax. Am I eligible? You must be a full year or part year resident to qualify for the renter’s credit. You must have lived in a building where either property taxes were payable in 2025 or payments in lieu of property taxes (such as special assessments) were payable in 2025.

If you received a reimbursement in 2025 for medical or dental expenses you paid in 2025, reduce your 2025 expenses by this amount. If you received a reimbursement in 2025 for prior year medical or dental expenses, do not reduce your 2025 expenses by this amount. Cafeteria plans. You cannot deduct amounts that were already excluded from your income. Do not include on line 1 insurance premiums paid by an employer-sponsored health insurance plan (cafeteria plan) unless the premiums are included in box 1 of your Forms W-2. Also, do not include any other medical and dental expenses paid by the plan unless the amount paid is included in box 1 of your Forms W-2. Line 5 — Real Estate Taxes If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 5b. Include state and local taxes you paid on real estate if all of these apply: • You did not use the real estate for business • The taxes were assessed uniformly at a like rate on all real property throughout the community • The tax proceeds are used for general community or governmental purposes IRS Publication 530 explains the deductions homeowners can take. Do not include: • Itemized charges for services to specific property or persons (Some examples include a $20 monthly charge per house for trash collection, a $5 charge for every 1,000 gallons of water consumed, or a flat charge for mowing a lawn that had grown higher than permitted under local ordinance) • Charges for improvements that tend to increase the value of your property (for example, an assessment to build a new sidewalk). The cost of property improvement is added to the basis of the property. A charge is deductible if it is used only to maintain an existing public facility in service (for example, a charge to repair an existing sidewalk, and any interest included in that charge) If your mortgage payments include real estate taxes, you can deduct only the amount the mortgage company actually paid to the taxing authority in 2025. If you sold your home in 2025, any real estate tax charged to the buyer should be shown on your settlement statement and in box 6 of any federal Form 1099-S you received. This amount is considered a refund of real estate taxes (see Refunds and rebates). Any real estate taxes you paid at closing should be shown on your settlement statement. Refunds and rebates. If you received a refund or rebate in 2025 such as from a 2024 Form M1PR, Homestead Credit Refund, reduce your deduction by the amount of the refund or rebate. Line 6 — Personal Property Taxes If you filed federal Schedule A and you had an amount on line 5c, enter that amount on line 6 of Schedule M1SA. Enter the state and local personal property taxes you paid, but only if the taxes were based on value alone and imposed on a yearly basis. If you are claiming registration tax for a vehicle registered in Minnesota, you may deduct part of your Minnesota vehicle license fee as personal property tax for passenger automobiles, pick-up trucks, and vans. You may not deduct other amounts, such as the plate fee and filing fee. Calculate the allowed deduction by subtracting $30 from your vehicle’s registration tax for each vehicle you register. Your vehicle’s registration tax may be found online at drive.mn.gov. Continued
Line 9 — Other Taxes If you had any deductible tax not listed on lines 5 or 6 of Schedule M1SA, list the type and amount of tax. Include income tax you paid to a foreign country or U.S. possession. You cannot claim a deduction for foreign taxes if you included those taxes on federal Form 1116. Lines 11 through 13 — Interest You Paid The rules for deducting interest vary, depending on whether you used the loan proceeds for business, personal, or investment activities. See IRS Publication 535 for more information about deducting business interest expenses. See IRS Publication 550 for more information about deducting investment interest expenses. You cannot deduct personal interest. If you use the proceeds of a loan for more than one purpose (for example, personal and business), you must allocate the interest on the loan to each use. Do not allocate home mortgage interest if it is fully deductible, regardless of how you used the funds. You allocate interest (other than fully deductible home mortgage interest on a loan) in the same way as the loan is allocated. Trace disbursements of the debt proceeds to specific uses. For more information on allocating interest, see IRS Publication 535. Generally, if you paid interest in 2025 that applies to any period after 2025, you can deduct only amounts that apply for 2025. Line 11 — Home Mortgage Interest Reported on Federal Form 1098 If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 8a. Do not include any home equity loan interest that was included on line 8a. If you meet the exception to the federal limitation for a loan taken out after December 15, 2017, but before April 1, 2018, follow the instructions for limits on loans taken out on or after December 16, 2017, on Schedule M1SA. Enter on line 11 mortgage interest and points reported to you on federal Form 1098. A home mortgage is any loan secured by your main home or second home. It includes first and second mortgages and refinanced mortgages. A home can be a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, boat, or similar property. The home must provide basic living accommodations, including a sleeping space, a toilet, and cooking facilities. Limit on loans taken out before December 16, 2017. For qualifying debt taken out before December 16, 2017, you can only deduct mortgage interest on up to $1,000,000 ($500,000 if you are married and file a separate return) of that debt. The only exception is for loans taken out on or before October 13, 1987. See IRS Publication 936 if you took out the loan on or before October 13, 1987. Limit on loans taken out on or after December 16, 2017. For qualifying debt taken out on or after December 16, 2017, you can only deduct home mortgage interest on up to $750,000 ($375,000 if you are married and file a separate return) of that debt. If you also have qualifying debt subject to the $1,000,000 limitation discussed in the previous paragraph, the $750,000 limit for debt taken out on or after December 16, 2017, is reduced by the amount of your qualifying debt subject to the $1,000,000 limit. Refund of overpaid interest. If your Form 1098 shows any refund of overpaid interest, do not reduce your deduction by the refund. Interest reported on someone else’s Form 1098. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse, if filing jointly) were liable for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the interest was reported on the other person’s Form 1098, report your share of the interest on line 12 of Schedule M1SA. (See IRS Publication 936 to calculate your mortgage interest deduction.) Form 1098 does not show all interest paid. If you paid more interest to the recipient than is shown on Form 1098, show the larger deductible amount on line 11 and explain the difference. If you are filing a paper return, explain the difference by attaching a statement to your paper return and printing “See attached” to the right of line 11. Line 12 — Home Mortgage Interest not reported on federal Form 1098 If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 8b. If you paid mortgage interest to a recipient who did not provide you a Form 1098, report your deductible mortgage interest on line 12. Seller financed mortgage. If you paid home mortgage interest to the person from whom you bought the home and that person did not provide you a Form 1098, write that person’s name, identifying number, and address on the line next to line 12. If the recipient of your home mortgage payment is an individual, the identifying number is their Social Security Number (SSN). Otherwise, it is their Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). You must also let the recipient know your SSN. Interest reported on someone else’s Form 1098. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the home mortgage interest paid was reported on the other person’s Form 1098, identify the name and address of the person or persons who received a Form 1098 reporting the interest you paid. If you are filing a paper return, identify the person by attaching a statement to your paper return and printing “See attached” to the right of line 12. Points not reported on Form 1098. Points are shown on your settlement statement. Points you paid only to borrow money are generally deductible over the life of the loan. See IRS Publication 936 to figure the amount you can deduct. You may not deduct points paid for other purposes, such as lender services. Refinancing. Generally, you must deduct points you paid to refinance a mortgage over the life of the loan. This is true even if the new mortgage is secured by your main home. If you used part of the proceeds to improve your main home, you may be able to deduct the part of the points related to the improvement in the year paid. See IRS Publication 936 for details. Line 13 — Investment Interest If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 9. Investment interest is interest paid on money you borrowed that is allocable to property held for investment. It does not include any interest allocable to passive activities or to securities generating tax-exempt income. Continued
Complete and attach a 2025 federal Form 4952 for Minnesota purposes to figure your deduction unless all of these apply: • Your investment interest expense is less than your investment income from interest and ordinary dividends minus any qualified dividends • You have no other deductible investment expenses • You have no disallowed investment interest expense from 2024 Lines 15 through 17 — Charitable Contributions You can deduct contributions you gave to organizations that are religious, charitable, educational, scientific, or literary in purpose. You can also deduct what you gave to organizations that work to prevent cruelty to children or animals. See IRS Publication 526 for details. To verify an organization’s charitable status: • Check with the organization you donated to. The organization should be able to verify its charitable status. • Use the online search tool at https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/tax-exempt-organization-search to see if an organization is eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. Examples of Qualified Charitable Organizations This list gives some examples of qualified organizations. See IRS Publication 526 for more examples. • Churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and other religious organizations • Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, CARE, Girl Scouts, Goodwill Industries, Red Cross, Salvation Army, and United Way • Fraternal orders, if the contributions will be used for the purposes listed under Charitable Contributions • Veterans’ and certain cultural groups • Nonprofit hospitals and medical research organizations • Most nonprofit educational organizations, such as colleges, but only if your contribution is not a substitute for tuition or other enrollment fees • Federal, state, and local governments, if the contributions are solely for public purposes Limits The amount you can deduct for charitable contributions is generally limited to no more than 60% of your Minnesota adjusted gross income (AGI). Your deduction may be further limited to 50, 30, or 20% of your Minnesota AGI, depending on the type of property you give and the type of organization you give it to. Your Minnesota AGI is line 1 of Form M1. See IRS Publication 526 for more information about first and second category qualified organiza tions. Limits based on 60% of Minnesota adjusted gross income If you make cash contributions during the year to an organization which is a first category qualified organization, your deduction for cash contributions is 60% of your AGI. This 60% limit does not apply to noncash charitable contributions. Limits based on 50%, 30%, and 20% of Minnesota adjusted gross income Minnesota follows the IRS guidance for contributions that are subject to these limitations. See IRS Publication 526 for more information about contributions under these limitations. Amounts You Can Deduct Contributions can be in cash, property, or out-of-pocket expenses you paid to do volunteer work for the kinds of organizations described earlier. If you drove to and from the volunteer work, you can take the actual cost of gas and oil or 14 cents a mile. Add parking and tolls to the amount you claim under either method. Do not deduct any amounts repaid to you. If you included volunteer mileage reimbursements in your adjusted gross income and the reimbursements exceeded 14 cents per mile, see line 24 of Schedule M1M. Contributions from which you benefit If you made a contribution and received a benefit in return, such as food, entertainment, or merchandise, you can generally only deduct the amount that is more than the value of the benefit. This rule does not apply to certain membership benefits provided in return for an annual pay ment of $75 or less or to certain items or benefits of token value. For details, see IRS Publication 526. Minnesota follows the IRS guidance for contributions that are subject to these limitations. See IRS Publication 526 for more information about contributions under these limitations. Contributions of $250 or more You can deduct a contribution of $250 or more only if you have a statement from the charitable organization showing: • The amount of any money contributed and a description (but not value) of any property donated • Whether the organization did or did not give you any goods or services in return for your contribution. If you did receive any goods or services, the organization must provide a description and estimate of the value. If you received only intangible religious benefits (such as admission to a religious ceremony), the organization must state this, but it does not have to describe or value the benefit In figuring whether a donation is $250 or more, do not combine separate donations. For example, if you gave your church $25 each week for a total of $1,300, treat each $25 payment as a separate donation. If you made donations through payroll deductions, treat each deduction from each paycheck as a separate donation. See IRS Publication 526 if you made a separate donation of $250 or more through payroll deduction. Continued
Amounts you cannot deduct • Travel expenses (including meals and lodging) while away from home performing donated services, unless there was no significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in the travel • Political contributions • Dues, fees, or bills paid to country clubs, lodges, fraternal orders, or similar groups • Cost of raffle, bingo, or lottery tickets • Value of your time or services • Value of blood given to a blood bank • The transfer of a future interest in tangible personal property. Generally, no deduction is allowed until the entire interest has been transferred • Donations to individuals and groups that are operated for personal profit • Donations to foreign organizations; however, you may be able to deduct donations to certain U.S. organizations that transfer funds to foreign charities and certain Canadian, Israeli, and Mexican charities. See IRS Publication 526 for details. • Donations to organizations engaged in certain political activities that are of direct financial interest to your trade or business • Donations to groups whose purpose is to lobby for changes in the laws • Donations to civic leagues, social and sports clubs, labor unions, and chambers of commerce • Value of benefits received in connection with a contribution to a charitable organization. See IRS Publication 526 for exceptions • Cost of tuition Line 15 — Charitable Contributions by Cash or Check If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 11. Do not include amounts that exceed 60% of line 1 of Form M1. If you filed federal Form 1040-NR, enter the amount from line 2 of Schedule A. Do not include amounts that exceed 60% of line 1 of Form M1. Enter on line 15 the total value of donations you made in cash or by check (including out-of-pocket expenses). Recordkeeping. Keep bank records of contributions (such as canceled checks, credit card statements, or written records from the charity), regardless of your amounts contributed. The written record must include the name of the charity, date, and amount of the contribution. If you made contributions through payroll deduction, see IRS Publication 526. Do not attach the record to your tax return. Line 16 — Other Than by Cash or Check If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 12. If you filed federal Form 1040-NR, enter the amount from line 3 of Schedule A. Enter the total value of your contributions of property other than by cash or check. If you gave used items, such as clothing or furniture, deduct their fair market value at the time you gave them. Fair market value is what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller when neither has to buy or sell and both are aware of the conditions of the sale. For more details on determining the value of donated property, see IRS Publication 561. Deduction more than $500. If the amount of your deduction is more than $500, you must complete and attach a statement identifying the date of contribution, name of the charitable organization, description of the property, and the fair market value. Deduction more than $5,000. If your total deduction is over $5,000 ($500 for certain contributions of clothing and household items), you may also have to get appraisals of the values of the donated property. See federal Form 8283 and its instructions for details. Contribution of motor vehicle, boat, or airplane. If you deduct more than $500 for a contribution of a motor vehicle, boat, or airplane, you must also attach a statement from the charitable organization to your paper return. The organization may use Form 1098-C to provide the required information. Recordkeeping. If you gave property, you should keep a receipt or written statement from the organization you gave the property to, or a reliable written record that shows the organization’s name and address, the date and location of the gift, and a description of the property. For each gift of property, you should also keep reliable written records that include: • How you figured the property’s value at the time you gave it. If the value was determined by an appraisal, keep a signed copy of the appraisal • The cost or other basis of the property if you must reduce it by any ordinary income or capital gain that would have resulted if the property had been sold at its fair market value • How you figured your deduction if you chose to reduce your deduction for donations of capital gain property • Any conditions attached to the donation Line 17 — Carryover from Prior Year If you have contributions you could not deduct in an earlier year because they exceeded the limits on the amount you could deduct, you generally have five years to use those contributions. The same limits apply this year to your carryover amounts as applied to those amounts in the earlier year. After applying those limits, enter the amount of your carryover you are allowed to deduct this year. See IRS Publication 526. Line 19 — Casualty and Theft Losses If you had a casualty or theft loss during 2025, see Schedule M1CAT, Casualty and Theft, for more information. If you filed federal Schedule A and entered an amount on line 15, complete a Schedule M1CAT for that casualty.

If you paid for repairs to your personal residence or household appliances because of corrosive drywall, you may be able to deduct on line 19 those amounts paid. See IRS Publication 547 for details. Line 20 — Unreimbursed Employee Expenses Complete and enclose Schedule M1UE, Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses. If you are married, filing a joint return, and both you and your spouse claim deductions for unreimbursed employee expenses, each spouse must complete a separate Schedule M1UE with their own expense and reimbursement amounts. Enter the total ordinary and necessary job expenses you paid for which you were not reimbursed. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your field of trade, business, or profession. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your business. An expense does not have to be required to be considered necessary. If you do not claim reimbursement that you are entitled to receive from your employer, you cannot deduct the expenses that apply to unclaimed reimbursement. See IRS Publication 970 for more information. You must complete Schedule M1UE if either of these apply: • You claim any travel, transportation, meal, or entertainment expenses for your job • Your employer reimbursed you for any of your job expenses that you would otherwise report on line 20 Do not include educator expenses you deducted on line 11 of federal Schedule 1.

If you are filing a paper return and you cannot fit all your expenses on the line next to line 24, attach a statement instead showing the type and amount of each expense. If you filed federal Schedule A, you may have reported these deductions on line 16. If you filed federal Form 1040-NR, you may qualify for only certain deductions from the following list which you may have deducted on line 7 of Form 1040-NR, Schedule A. You may deduct only these expenses on line 24: • Gambling losses to the extent of gambling winnings reported on line 8b of federal Schedule 1. Gambling losses include, but are not limited to, the cost of non-winning bingo, lottery, and raffle tickets • Federal estate tax on income in respect of a decedent • Deduction for amortizable bond premium (for example, a deduction allowed for a bond premium carryforward or a deduction for amortizable bond premium on bonds acquired before October 23, 1986) • Deduction for repayment of amounts under a claim of right (if over $3,000, see IRS Publication 525 for details) • Certain unrecovered investment in a pension • Impairment-related work expenses of a person with a disability • Deduction allowable in connection with personal property used in a short sale as described under section 67(b)(8) • Deduction of taxes, interest, and business depreciation for cooperative housing corporation tenant-stockholder under section 216 of the Internal Revenue Code Continued

Am I eligible? You may be eligible for the credit or subtraction if you contributed to a qualified education savings account, regardless of the owner or beneficiary. If you are a part-year resident, you will determine your credit based on your percentage of income allocated to Minnesota on Schedule M1NR, Nonresidents/Part-Year Residents. You do not qualify for the credit if you are a nonresident or are eligible to be claimed as a dependent. What is a qualified education savings account? A qualified education savings account is any state-sponsored section 529 savings plan, including prepaid tuition plans. What is a qualified expense? A qualified expense for a section 529 savings plan is a cost required to attend a post-secondary educational institution. Qualified expenses do not include amounts paid for K-12 education expenses. Qualified expenses do not include amounts paid for certain post-secondary credentialing expenses reported on line 1 of Schedule M1NC, Federal Adjustments. If you used a distribution from a 529 savings plan for K-12 education tuition, you must include the lesser of distributions or the earnings reported on federal Form 1099-Q from the savings plan on line 13 of Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions. Can I claim both the credit and subtraction? No. You may claim either the credit or the subtraction. You cannot claim both. Is it better to take the credit or subtraction? It depends on your Minnesota residency, filing status, and income. Full and part-year residents: If your Federal Adjusted Gross Income (FAGI) is $96,220 or less, the credit will generally provide a greater benefit to you. If your FAGI is more than $96,220 but less than $121,220 ($198,200 if you are married and filing a joint return), complete the Worksheet for Line 5. If your filing status is Married Filing Jointly and your FAGI is more than $198,200 ($121,220 for all other filing statuses), you are not eligible for the credit.

Who Should File Schedule NIIT You must complete Schedule NIIT if you are an individual, estate, or trust taxpayer with over $1,000,000 of investment income. When com pleting this schedule, you will determine your Minnesota net investment income (see below) and if you owe Minnesota net investment income tax.The Minnesota net investment income tax does not apply to corporate taxpayers. If you are a nonresident alien of the United States and not subject to the federal net investment income tax, you may still be subject to the Minnesota net investment income tax. Complete a pro-forma federal Form 8960 and include it with your Schedule NIIT. Minnesota Net Investment Income Minnesota net investment income is federal net investment income as defined under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 1411 that is sourced to Minnesota. Federal net investment income includes, but is not limited to: • Interest • Dividends • Capital gains • Rental and royalty income • Non-qualified annuities • Income from businesses involved in trading of financial instructions or commodities and businesses that are passive activities to the tax payer (within the meaning of IRC section 469) • Deductions allocated to the items of gross investment income Federal net investment income does not include any amount of gain that is excluded from gross income for regular income tax purposes. For example, IRC section 121 exempts the first $250,000 ($500,000 if married and filing a joint return) of gain recognized on the sale of a princi pal residence from gross income for regular income tax purposes. Minnesota net investment income does not include net gains attributable to dispositions of property classified as class 2a property under Min nesota Statute section 273.13, subdivision 23. Class 2a Property Class 2a agricultural land consists of parcels of property, or portions thereof that are agricultural land and buildings. If the property has mul tiple property classifications and the county assessor can practically separate the acreage of each classification type, then only the acreage that is attributable to class 2a may be excluded from the Minnesota net investment income tax. See lines 2 and 7 for more details. You may identify a property’s classification on its property tax statement for the year of the disposition or by contacting the county assessor. Flow-through entities will include whether a gain is from a disposition of class 2a property on: • Lines 21 and 22 of Schedules KPI and KS • Lines 23 and 24 of Schedule KPC • Lines 31 and 32 of Schedule KF Investments and Mutual Fund Dividends from U.S. Bonds Stocks and obligations of the U.S. Government are exempt from taxation by states under IRC section 3124. Any stocks and obligations ex empt under this federal law are not subject to the Minnesota net investment income tax. See line 3 for more details. Flow-through entities will include whether interest is from a U.S. bond on: • Line 14 of Schedules KPI and KS • Line 17 of Schedule KPC • Line 16 of Schedule KF How to File Schedule NIIT is included with Form M1 or Form M2 as a supplemental schedule. The tax amount from Schedule NIIT will be reported on: • Line 14 of Form M1 • Line 12 of Form M2 Composite Tax or Pass-Through Entity (PTE) Tax Schedule NIIT may not be included with Form M3 or Form M8. Minnesota NIIT cannot be reported and paid as a part of a composite income or PTE tax election. The composite income tax or PTE tax can still satisfy the partner’s or shareholder’s tax for the distributive share of the entity’s business income. Partners and shareholders electing composite income or PTE tax to satisfy their filing requirement must file Schedule NIIT with Form M1 if their investment income exceeds $1 million. In these situations, the Form M1 will only report the NIIT on line 14 and will not report any other tax benefits. Estimated Payments The Minnesota net investment income tax is subject to the same estimated tax provisions as other individual, estate, or trust taxes. If you expect to be subject to the Minnesota net investment income tax, you should adjust your income tax withholding or estimated payments to account for the tax increase in order to avoid underpayment penalties. 2025 Schedule NIIT Instructions Continued
