Are Property Taxes Deductible in Minnesota?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Minnesota adds its own break: Refundable Renter's Credit up to $2,720 on Form M1 for household income under $77,570.

Also: Homestead Credit Refund (M1PR) up to $3,480 for 2025, income under $142,490; special refund up to $1,000 if tax jumps 12%+. Homestead: homestead market value exclusion: up to $38,000 off taxable value, phasing out for homes worth $517,200 or more. 2025 homeowner Homestead Credit Refunds include a one-time 14.88% increase on top of the regular amount.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
