If you have not done so already, please begin with your federal Form 1040. Remember that federal tax Form 1040EZ and Form 1040A have been discontinued. Seniors age 65 and older have the option of filing federal Form 1040-SR this year.

What is Minnesota Form M1?

Minnesota M1 is the form used by full-year residents to file their state income tax return. The purpose of Form M1 is to determine your tax liability for the state of Minnesota. The State of Minnesota does not have a M1 Easy Form (EZ) or M1 Short Form.

Nonresident and part-year resident filers will also complete Minnesota Form M1. Nonresident and part-year resident filers must include Schedule M1NR with their state income tax return.

Read the Filing Requirements section of the Minnesota M1 instructions book to help determine if you should file as a resident, part-year resident, or nonresident for tax year 2023.

Do I have to file a Minnesota tax return?

You must file a Minnesota tax return if you were required to file a federal income tax return. There is also a gross income test for those who were not required to file a federal income tax return. For tax year 2023, Single residents under the age of 65 must file if their gross income is $13,825 or more. Married residents under the age of 65 must file if their gross income is $27,650 or more.

Gross income means all income before deducting expenses that is reportable to the state of Minnesota. Even if your gross income is below the amount specified for your filing status, you may still want to file a Minnesota tax return. You may receive a refund for the state tax amount shown on your Minnesota W-2, for example. You may also be eligible to claim the Minnesota Working Family, Dependent Care, K-12 Education, and other refundable credits.
