Minnesota state income tax

Varies

Can You Write Off Minnesota state income tax?

Short answer: Minnesota taxes income up to 9.85%, taxes Social Security above certain incomes, and offers a refundable child tax credit.

State and local income, sales, and property taxes share one SALT cap ($40,400 for 2026, reduced above about $505,000 of income) and only help if you itemize.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
