Subdivision 1.
Credit allowed.
(a) An individual who is a resident of Minnesota is
allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this chapter equal to a percentage of earned
income. To receive a credit, a taxpayer must be eligible for a credit under section 32 of the
Internal Revenue Code, except that a taxpayer with no qualifying children who has attained
the age of 21, but not attained age 65 before the close of the taxable year and is otherwise
eligible for a credit under section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code may also receive a credit.
(b) For individuals with no qualifying children, the credit equals deleted text begin 2.10deleted text end new text begin 4.0new text end percent of the
first deleted text begin $6,180deleted text end new text begin $7,500new text end of earned income. The credit is reduced by deleted text begin 2.01deleted text end new text begin 3.3new text end percent of earned
income or adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in excess of deleted text begin $8,130deleted text end new text begin $11,500new text end , but in

deleted text begin $11,120deleted text end new text begin $11,950new text end of earned income. The credit is reduced by 6.02 percent of earned income
or adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in excess of deleted text begin $21,190deleted text end new text begin $22,770new text end , but in no case
is the credit less than zero.
(d) For individuals with two or more qualifying children, the credit equals 11 percent
of the first deleted text begin $18,240deleted text end new text begin $19,600new text end of earned income. The credit is reduced by 10.82 percent of
earned income or adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in excess of deleted text begin $25,130deleted text end new text begin $27,000new text end ,
but in no case is the credit less than zero.
(e) For a part-year resident, the credit must be allocated based on the percentage calculated
under section 290.06, subdivision 2c, paragraph (e).
(f) For a person who was a resident for the entire tax year and has earned income not
subject to tax under this chapter, including income excluded under section 290.0132,
subdivision 10, the credit must be allocated based on the ratio of federal adjusted gross
income reduced by the earned income not subject to tax under this chapter over federal
adjusted gross income. For purposes of this paragraph, the following clauses are not
considered "earned income not subject to tax under this chapter":
(1) the subtractions for military pay under section 290.0132, subdivisions 11 and 12;
(2) the exclusion of combat pay under section 112 of the Internal Revenue Code; and

being adjusted for inflation under subdivision 7, are each increased by $5,000 for married
taxpayers filing joint returns. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2013, the
commissioner shall annually adjust the $5,000 by the percentage determined pursuant to
the provisions of section 1(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that in section 1(f)(3)(B),
the word "2008" shall be substituted for the word "1992." For 2014, the commissioner shall
then determine the percent change from the 12 months ending on August 31, 2008, to the
12 months ending on August 31, 2013, and in each subsequent year, from the 12 months
ending on August 31, 2008, to the 12 months ending on August 31 of the year preceding
the taxable year. The earned income thresholds as adjusted for inflation must be rounded
to the nearest $10. If the amount ends in $5, the amount is rounded up to the nearest $10.
The determination of the commissioner under this subdivision is not a rule under the
Administrative Procedure Act.
(h) The commissioner shall construct tables showing the amount of the credit at various
income levels and make them available to taxpayers. The tables shall follow the schedule
contained in this subdivision, except that the commissioner may graduate the transition
between income brackets.
