Minnesota Tax Guide

Minnesota taxes, made easier to understand. MN Tax Guide brings nine practical planning tools, plain-language explanations and helpful tax resources to your iPhone and iPad. Explore income taxes, purchases, housing costs and business scenarios with clear inputs and transparent assumptions. YOUR INCOME TAX, STEP BY STEP Choose your filing status, enter your income details and review your information before viewing an estimate. Start with adjusted gross income reconciled for Minnesota, then enter applicable state additions and subtractions. Use the modeled standard deduction or supply your final allowed Minnesota itemized deduction. Include supported dependent exemptions and age or blindness adjustments. Review estimated regular state income tax and Minnesota net investment income tax before credits, alternative minimum tax and payments. Explore the calculation details or share an income-estimate summary. NINE TOOLS IN ONE PLACE • Income tax: Build a full-year resident planning estimate using your household details, income, deductions and supported exemptions. • Sales and use tax: Estimate tax and purchase total using the state rate plus additional local or special rates you enter. A confirmed-exemption option is available. Check the applicable address and item rules before calculating. • Property-tax budget: Turn your actual annual property-tax bill into a monthly savings amount. This budgets a known bill; it does not estimate tax from a home's market value or replace your county's payment schedule. • Deed tax: Estimate tax on established net consideration for an ordinary taxable transfer, with the supported Hennepin or Ramsey County adjustment. • Mortgage registry tax: Estimate the named tax on new taxable secured debt, including the supported county adjustment. Recording and lender fees are separate. • Net investment income tax: Explore Minnesota NIIT using an eligible net investment income amount. This is separate from federal NIIT and is not a calculation based on gross sale proceeds. • Motor vehicle sales tax: Estimate the ordinary percentage-based tax using an established taxable value after allowed adjustments. Title, registration and other vehicle fees are excluded. • Corporation franchise tax: Estimate the regular tax component using Minnesota corporate taxable income already adjusted and apportioned. Minimum fees, alternative minimum tax and credits are not included. • Estate filing check: Explore a Minnesota-resident estate filing trigger using estate value, applicable gifts and federal filing requirements. This is not an estate-tax bill or a complete filing determination.
