BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

ARTICLE 1

INCOME AND CORPORATE FRANCHISE TAXES

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2019 Supplement, section 289A.08, subdivision 7, is
amended to read:

Subd. 7.

Composite income tax returns for nonresident partners, shareholders, and
beneficiaries.

(a) The commissioner may allow a partnership with nonresident partners to
file a composite return and to pay the tax on behalf of nonresident partners who have no
other Minnesota source income. This composite return must include the names, addresses,
Social Security numbers, income allocation, and tax liability for the nonresident partners
electing to be covered by the composite return.

(b) The computation of a partner's tax liability must be determined by multiplying the
income allocated to that partner by the highest rate used to determine the tax liability for
individuals under section 290.06, subdivision 2c. Nonbusiness deductions, standard
deductions, or personal exemptions are not allowed.

(c) The partnership must submit a request to use this composite return filing method for
nonresident partners. The requesting partnership must file a composite return in the form
prescribed by the commissioner of revenue. The filing of a composite return is considered
a request to use the composite return filing method.

(d) The electing partner must not have any Minnesota source income other than the
income from the partnership and other electing partnerships. If it is determined that the
electing partner has other Minnesota source income, the inclusion of the income and tax
liability for that partner under this provision will not constitute a return to satisfy the
requirements of subdivision 1. The tax paid for the individual as part of the composite return
is allowed as a payment of the tax by the individual on the date on which the composite
return payment was made. If the electing nonresident partner has no other Minnesota source
income, filing of the composite return is a return for purposes of subdivision 1.

(e) This subdivision does not negate the requirement that an individual pay estimated
tax if the individual's liability would exceed the requirements set forth in section 289A.25.
The individual's liability to pay estimated tax is, however, satisfied when the partnership
pays composite estimated tax in the manner prescribed in section 289A.25.

(f) If an electing partner's share of the partnership's gross income from Minnesota sources
is less than the filing requirements for a nonresident under this subdivision, the tax liability
is zero. However, a statement showing the partner's share of gross income must be included
as part of the composite return.

(g) The election provided in this subdivision is only available to a partner who has no
other Minnesota source income and who is either (1) a full-year nonresident individual or
(2) a trust or estate that does not claim a deduction under either section 651 or 661 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

(h) A corporation defined in section 290.9725 and its nonresident shareholders may
make an election under this paragraph. The provisions covering the partnership apply to
the corporation and the provisions applying to the partner apply to the shareholder.

(i) Estates and trusts distributing current income only and the nonresident individual
beneficiaries of the estates or trusts may make an election under this paragraph. The
provisions covering the partnership apply to the estate or trust. The provisions applying to
the partner apply to the beneficiary.

(j) For the purposes of this subdivision, "income" means the partner's share of federal
adjusted gross income from the partnership modified by the additions provided in section
290.0131, subdivisions 8 to 10 deleted text begin anddeleted text end new text begin ,new text end 16, new text begin and 17, new text end and the subtractions provided in: (1) section

allocable to Minnesota under section 290.17; and (2) section 290.0132, subdivision 14. The
subtraction allowed under section 290.0132, subdivision 9, is only allowed on the composite
tax computation to the extent the electing partner would have been allowed the subtraction.

Subd. 5.

Determination of sales factor.

For purposes of this section, the following rules
apply in determining the sales factor.

(a) The sales factor includes all sales, gross earnings, or receipts received in the ordinary
course of the business, except that the following types of income are not included in the
sales factor:

(1) interest;

(2) dividends;

(3) sales of capital assets as defined in section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code;

(4) sales of property used in the trade or business, except sales of leased property of a
type which is regularly sold as well as leased; deleted text begin and
deleted text end

(5) sales of debt instruments as defined in section 1275(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code or sales of stockdeleted text begin .deleted text end new text begin ; and
new text end

new text begin (6) receipts from trading options, futures contracts, forward contracts, foreign currency
transactions, and notional principal contracts such as currency and equity swaps.
new text end

(b) Sales of tangible personal property are made within this state if the property is
received by a purchaser at a point within this state, regardless of the f.o.b. point, other
conditions of the sale, or the ultimate destination of the property.

(c) Tangible personal property delivered to a common or contract carrier or foreign
vessel for delivery to a purchaser in another state or nation is a sale in that state or nation,
regardless of f.o.b. point or other conditions of the sale.

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c), when intoxicating liquor, wine, fermented
malt beverages, cigarettes, or tobacco products are sold to a purchaser who is licensed by
a state or political subdivision to resell this property only within the state of ultimate
destination, the sale is made in that state.

(e) Sales made by or through a corporation that is qualified as a domestic international
sales corporation under section 992 of the Internal Revenue Code are not considered to have
been made within this state.

(f) Sales, rents, royalties, and other income in connection with real property is attributed
to the state in which the property is located.

(g) Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible personal property, including finance
leases and true leases, must be attributed to this state if the property is located in this state
and to other states if the property is not located in this state. Receipts from the lease or rental
of moving property including, but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft,
vessels, or mobile equipment are included in the numerator of the receipts factor to the
extent that the property is used in this state. The extent of the use of moving property is
determined as follows:

(1) A motor vehicle is used wholly in the state in which it is registered.

(2) The extent that rolling stock is used in this state is determined by multiplying the
receipts from the lease or rental of the rolling stock by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the miles traveled within this state by the leased or rented rolling stock and the denominator
of which is the total miles traveled by the leased or rented rolling stock.

(3) The extent that an aircraft is used in this state is determined by multiplying the
receipts from the lease or rental of the aircraft by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of landings of the aircraft in this state and the denominator of which is the total
number of landings of the aircraft.

(4) The extent that a vessel, mobile equipment, or other mobile property is used in the
state is determined by multiplying the receipts from the lease or rental of the property by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the taxable year the property
was in this state and the denominator of which is the total days in the taxable year.

(h) Royalties and other income received for the use of or for the privilege of using
intangible property, including patents, know-how, formulas, designs, processes, patterns,
copyrights, trade names, service names, franchises, licenses, contracts, customer lists, or
similar items, must be attributed to the state in which the property is used by the purchaser.
If the property is used in more than one state, the royalties or other income must be
apportioned to this state pro rata according to the portion of use in this state. If the portion
of use in this state cannot be determined, the royalties or other income must be excluded
from both the numerator and the denominator. Intangible property is used in this state if the
purchaser uses the intangible property or the rights therein in the regular course of its business
operations in this state, regardless of the location of the purchaser's customers.

(i) Sales of intangible property are made within the state in which the property is used
by the purchaser. If the property is used in more than one state, the sales must be apportioned
to this state pro rata according to the portion of use in this state. If the portion of use in this
state cannot be determined, the sale must be excluded from both the numerator and the
denominator of the sales factor. Intangible property is used in this state if the purchaser used
the intangible property in the regular course of its business operations in this state.

(j) Receipts from the performance of services must be attributed to the state where the
services are received. For the purposes of this section, receipts from the performance of
services provided to a corporation, partnership, or trust may only be attributed to a state
where it has a fixed place of doing business. If the state where the services are received is
not readily determinable or is a state where the corporation, partnership, or trust receiving
the service does not have a fixed place of doing business, the services shall be deemed to
be received at the location of the office of the customer from which the services were ordered
in the regular course of the customer's trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
determined, the services shall be deemed to be received at the office of the customer to
which the services are billed.

(k) For the purposes of this subdivision and subdivision 6, paragraph (l), receipts from
management, distribution, or administrative services performed by a person or corporation
for a fund of a person or corporation regulated under United States Code, title 15, chapter
2D, subchapter I, must be attributed to the state where the shareholder of the fund resides.
Under this paragraph, receipts for services attributed to shareholders are determined on the
basis of the ratio of: (1) the average of the outstanding shares in the fund owned by
shareholders residing within Minnesota at the beginning and end of each year; and (2) the
average of the total number of outstanding shares in the fund at the beginning and end of
each year. Residence of the shareholder, in the case of an individual, is determined by the
mailing address furnished by the shareholder to the fund. Residence of the shareholder,
when the shares are held by an insurance company as a depositor for the insurance company
policyholders, is the mailing address of the policyholders. In the case of an insurance
company holding the shares as a depositor for the insurance company policyholders, if the
mailing address of the policyholders cannot be determined by the taxpayer, the receipts
must be excluded from both the numerator and denominator. Residence of other shareholders
is the mailing address of the shareholder.

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 270C.445, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

Subd. 6.

Enforcement; administrative order; penalties; cease and desist.

(a) The
commissioner may impose an administrative penalty of not more than $1,000 per violation
of subdivision 3 or 5, or section 270C.4451, provided that a penalty may not be imposed
for any conduct for which a tax preparer penalty is imposed under section 289A.60,
subdivision 13. The commissioner may terminate a tax preparer's authority to transmit
returns electronically to the state, if the commissioner determines the tax preparer engaged
in a pattern and practice of violating this section. Imposition of a penalty under this paragraph
is subject to the contested case procedure under chapter 14. The commissioner shall collect
the penalty in the same manner as the income tax. There is no right to make a claim for
refund under section 289A.50 of the penalty imposed under this paragraph. Penalties imposed
under this paragraph are public data.

(b) In addition to the penalty under paragraph (a), if the commissioner determines that
a tax preparer has violated subdivision 3 or 5, or section 270C.4451, the commissioner may
issue an administrative order to the tax preparer requiring the tax preparer to cease and
desist from committing the violation. The administrative order may include an administrative
penalty provided in paragraph (a).

(c) If the commissioner issues an administrative order under paragraph (b), the
commissioner must send the order to the tax preparer addressed to the last known address
of the tax preparer.

(d) A cease and desist order under paragraph (b) must:

(1) describe the act, conduct, or practice committed and include a reference to the law
that the act, conduct, or practice violates; and

(2) provide notice that the tax preparer may request a hearing as provided in this
subdivision.

(e) Within 30 days after the commissioner issues an administrative order under paragraph
(b), the tax preparer may request a hearing to review the commissioner's action. The request
for hearing must be made in writing and must be served on the commissioner at the address
specified in the order. The hearing request must specifically state the reasons for seeking
review of the order. The date on which a request for hearing is served by mail is the postmark
date on the envelope in which the request for hearing is mailed.

(f) If a tax preparer does not timely request a hearing regarding an administrative order
issued under paragraph (b), the order becomes a final order of the commissioner and is not
subject to review by any court or agency.

(g) If a tax preparer timely requests a hearing regarding an administrative order issued
under paragraph (b), the hearing must be commenced within ten days after the commissioner
receives the request for a hearing.

(h) A hearing timely requested under paragraph (e) is subject to the contested case
procedure under chapter 14, as modified by this subdivision. The administrative law judge
must issue a report containing findings of fact, conclusions of law, and a recommended
order within ten days after the completion of the hearing, the receipt of late-filed exhibits,
or the submission of written arguments, whichever is later.

(i) Within five days of the date of the administrative law judge's report issued under
paragraph (h), any party aggrieved by the administrative law judge's report may submit
written exceptions and arguments to the commissioner. Within 15 days after receiving the
administrative law judge's report, the commissioner must issue an order vacating, modifying,
or making final the administrative order.

(j) The commissioner and the tax preparer requesting a hearing may by agreement
lengthen any time periods prescribed in paragraphs (g) to (i).

(k) An administrative order issued under paragraph (b) is in effect until it is modified
or vacated by the commissioner or an appellate court. The administrative hearing provided
by paragraphs (e) to (i) and any appellate judicial review as provided in chapter 14 constitute
the exclusive remedy for a tax preparer aggrieved by the order.

(l) The commissioner may impose an administrative penalty, in addition to the penalty
under paragraph (a), up to $5,000 per violation of a cease and desist order issued under
paragraph (b). Imposition of a penalty under this paragraph is subject to the contested case
procedure under chapter 14. Within 30 days after the commissioner imposes a penalty under
this paragraph, the tax preparer assessed the penalty may request a hearing to review the
penalty order. The request for hearing must be made in writing and must be served on the
commissioner at the address specified in the order. The hearing request must specifically
state the reasons for seeking review of the order. The cease and desist order issued under
paragraph (b) is not subject to review in a proceeding to challenge the penalty order under
this paragraph. The date on which a request for hearing is served by mail is the postmark
date on the envelope in which the request for hearing is mailed. If the tax preparer does not
timely request a hearing, the penalty order becomes a final order of the commissioner and
is not subject to review by any court or agency. A penalty imposed by the commissioner
under this paragraph may be collected and enforced by the commissioner as an income tax
liability. There is no right to make a claim for refund under section 289A.50 of the penalty
imposed under this paragraph. A penalty imposed under this paragraph is public data.

(m) If a tax preparer violates a cease and desist order issued under paragraph (b), the
commissioner may terminate the tax preparer's authority to transmit returns electronically
to the state. Termination under this paragraph is public data.

(n) A cease and desist order issued under paragraph (b) is public data when it is a final
order.

amended return with the commissioner of revenue and pay any taxes required to be repaid
within 30 days after becoming subject to repayment under this section. The amount required

is required without regard to the exemptions and credits allowed under section 469.315.

(b) For the repayment of taxes imposed under chapter 297B, a business must pay any
taxes required to be repaid to the motor vehicle registrar, as agent for the commissioner of
revenue, within 30 days after becoming subject to repayment under this section.

(c) For the repayment of property taxes, the county auditor shall prepare a tax statement
for the business, applying the applicable tax extension rates for each payable year and
provide a copy to the business and to the taxpayer of record. The business must pay the
taxes to the county treasurer within 30 days after receipt of the tax statement. The business
or the taxpayer of record may appeal the valuation and determination of the property tax to
the Tax Court within 30 days after receipt of the tax statement.

(d) The provisions of chapters 270C and 289A relating to the commissioner's authority
to audit, assess, and collect the tax and to hear appeals are applicable to the repayment
required under paragraphs (a) and (b). The commissioner may impose civil penalties as
provided in chapter 289A, and the additional tax and penalties are subject to interest at the
rate provided in section 270C.40. The additional tax shall bear interest from 30 days after
becoming subject to repayment under this section until the date the tax is paid. Any penalty
imposed pursuant to this section shall bear interest from the date provided in section 270C.40,
subdivision 3, to the date of payment of the penalty.

(e) If a property tax is not repaid under paragraph (c), the county treasurer shall add the
amount required to be repaid to the property taxes assessed against the property for payment
in the year following the year in which the auditor provided the statement under paragraph
(c).

(f) For determining the tax required to be repaid, a reduction of a state or local sales or
use tax is deemed to have been received on the date that the good or service was purchased
or first put to a taxable use. In the case of an income tax or franchise tax, including the credit
payable under section 469.318, a reduction of tax is deemed to have been received for the
two most recent tax years that have ended prior to the date that the business became subject
to repayment under this section. In the case of a property tax, a reduction of tax is deemed
to have been received for the taxes payable in the year that the business became subject to
repayment under this section and for the taxes payable in the prior year.

(g) The commissioner may assess the repayment of taxes under paragraph (d) any time
within two years after the business becomes subject to repayment under subdivision 1, or
within any period of limitations for the assessment of tax under deleted text begin section 289A.38deleted text end new text begin sections
289A.38 to 289A.382new text end , whichever period is later. The county auditor may send the statement

repayment under subdivision 1.

(h) A business is not entitled to any income tax or franchise tax benefits, including
refundable credits, for any part of the year in which the business becomes subject to
repayment under this section nor for any year thereafter. Property is not exempt from tax
under section 272.02, subdivision 64, for any taxes payable in the year following the year
in which the property became subject to repayment under this section nor for any year
thereafter. A business is not eligible for any sales tax benefits beginning with goods or
services purchased or first put to a taxable use on the day that the business becomes subject

Subd. 14.

Agricultural homesteads; special provisions.

(a) Real estate of less than ten
acres that is the homestead of its owner must be classified as class 2a under section 273.13,
subdivision 23, paragraph (a), if:

(1) the parcel on which the house is located is contiguous on at least two sides to (i)
agricultural land, (ii) land owned or administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service, or (iii) land administered by the Department of Natural Resources on which in lieu
taxes are paid under sections 477A.11 to 477A.14new text begin or section 477A.17new text end ;

(2) its owner also owns a noncontiguous parcel of agricultural land that is at least 20
acres;

(3) the noncontiguous land is located not farther than four townships or cities, or a
combination of townships or cities from the homestead; and

(4) the agricultural use value of the noncontiguous land and farm buildings is equal to
at least 50 percent of the market value of the house, garage, and one acre of land.

Homesteads initially classified as class 2a under the provisions of this paragraph shall
remain classified as class 2a, irrespective of subsequent changes in the use of adjoining
properties, as long as the homestead remains under the same ownership, the owner owns a
noncontiguous parcel of agricultural land that is at least 20 acres, and the agricultural use
value qualifies under clause (4). Homestead classification under this paragraph is limited
to property that qualified under this paragraph for the 1998 assessment.

(b)(i) Agricultural property shall be classified as the owner's homestead, to the same
extent as other agricultural homestead property, if all of the following criteria are met:

(1) the agricultural property consists of at least 40 acres including undivided government
lots and correctional 40's;

(2) the owner, the owner's spouse, or a grandchild, child, sibling, or parent of the owner
or of the owner's spouse, is actively farming the agricultural property, either on the person's
own behalf as an individual or on behalf of a partnership operating a family farm, family
farm corporation, joint family farm venture, or limited liability company of which the person
is a partner, shareholder, or member;

the agricultural property under clause (2), are Minnesota residents;

(4) neither the owner nor the spouse of the owner claims another agricultural homestead
in Minnesota; and

(5) neither the owner nor the person actively farming the agricultural property lives
farther than four townships or cities, or a combination of four townships or cities, from the
agricultural property, except that if the owner or the owner's spouse is required to live in
employer-provided housing, the owner or owner's spouse, whichever is actively farming
the agricultural property, may live more than four townships or cities, or combination of
four townships or cities from the agricultural property.

The relationship under this paragraph may be either by blood or marriage.

(ii) Property containing the residence of an owner who owns qualified property under
clause (i) shall be classified as part of the owner's agricultural homestead, if that property
is also used for noncommercial storage or drying of agricultural crops.

(iii) As used in this paragraph, "agricultural property" means class 2a property and any
class 2b property that is contiguous to and under the same ownership as the class 2a property.

(c) Noncontiguous land shall be included as part of a homestead under section 273.13,
subdivision 23, paragraph (a), only if the homestead is classified as class 2a and the detached
land is located in the same township or city, or not farther than four townships or cities or
combination thereof from the homestead. Any taxpayer of these noncontiguous lands must
notify the county assessor that the noncontiguous land is part of the taxpayer's homestead,
and, if the homestead is located in another county, the taxpayer must also notify the assessor
of the other county.

(d) Agricultural land used for purposes of a homestead and actively farmed by a person
holding a vested remainder interest in it must be classified as a homestead under section
273.13, subdivision 23, paragraph (a). If agricultural land is classified class 2a, any other
dwellings on the land used for purposes of a homestead by persons holding vested remainder
interests who are actively engaged in farming the property, and up to one acre of the land
surrounding each homestead and reasonably necessary for the use of the dwelling as a home,
must also be assessed class 2a.

(e) Agricultural land and buildings that were class 2a homestead property under section
273.13, subdivision 23, paragraph (a), for the 1997 assessment shall remain classified as
agricultural homesteads for subsequent assessments if:

(1) the property owner abandoned the homestead dwelling located on the agricultural
homestead as a result of the April 1997 floods;

(2) the property is located in the county of Polk, Clay, Kittson, Marshall, Norman, or
Wilkin;

(3) the agricultural land and buildings remain under the same ownership for the current
assessment year as existed for the 1997 assessment year and continue to be used for
agricultural purposes;

(4) the dwelling occupied by the owner is located in Minnesota and is within 30 miles
of one of the parcels of agricultural land that is owned by the taxpayer; and

(5) the owner notifies the county assessor that the relocation was due to the 1997 floods,
and the owner furnishes the assessor any information deemed necessary by the assessor in
verifying the change in dwelling. Further notifications to the assessor are not required if the
property continues to meet all the requirements in this paragraph and any dwellings on the
agricultural land remain uninhabited.

(f) Agricultural land and buildings that were class 2a homestead property under section
273.13, subdivision 23, paragraph (a), for the 1998 assessment shall remain classified
agricultural homesteads for subsequent assessments if:

(5) the owner notifies the county assessor that the relocation was due to a March 29,
1998, tornado, and the owner furnishes the assessor any information deemed necessary by
the assessor in verifying the change in homestead dwelling. For taxes payable in 1999, the
owner must notify the assessor by December 1, 1998. Further notifications to the assessor
are not required if the property continues to meet all the requirements in this paragraph and
any dwellings on the agricultural land remain uninhabited.

(g) Agricultural property of a family farm corporation, joint family farm venture, family
farm limited liability company, or partnership operating a family farm as described under
subdivision 8 shall be classified homestead, to the same extent as other agricultural homestead
property, if all of the following criteria are met:

(1) the property consists of at least 40 acres including undivided government lots and
correctional 40's;

(2) a shareholder, member, or partner of that entity is actively farming the agricultural
property;

(3) that shareholder, member, or partner who is actively farming the agricultural property
is a Minnesota resident;

(4) neither that shareholder, member, or partner, nor the spouse of that shareholder,
member, or partner claims another agricultural homestead in Minnesota; and

(5) that shareholder, member, or partner does not live farther than four townships or
cities, or a combination of four townships or cities, from the agricultural property.

Homestead treatment applies under this paragraph even if:

(i) the shareholder, member, or partner of that entity is actively farming the agricultural
property on the shareholder's, member's, or partner's own behalf; or

(ii) the family farm is operated by a family farm corporation, joint family farm venture,
partnership, or limited liability company other than the family farm corporation, joint family
farm venture, partnership, or limited liability company that owns the land, provided that:

(A) the shareholder, member, or partner of the family farm corporation, joint family
farm venture, partnership, or limited liability company that owns the land who is actively
farming the land is a shareholder, member, or partner of the family farm corporation, joint
family farm venture, partnership, or limited liability company that is operating the farm;
and

(B) more than half of the shareholders, members, or partners of each family farm
corporation, joint family farm venture, partnership, or limited liability company are persons
or spouses of persons who are a qualifying relative under section 273.124, subdivision 1,
paragraphs (c) and (d).

Homestead treatment applies under this paragraph for property leased to a family farm
corporation, joint farm venture, limited liability company, or partnership operating a family
farm if legal title to the property is in the name of an individual who is a member, shareholder,
or partner in the entity.

(h) To be eligible for the special agricultural homestead under this subdivision, an initial
full application must be submitted to the county assessor where the property is located.
Owners and the persons who are actively farming the property shall be required to complete
only a one-page abbreviated version of the application in each subsequent year provided
that none of the following items have changed since the initial application:

(2) the owners and the persons actively farming the property continue to live within the
four townships or city criteria and are Minnesota residents;

(4) a Schedule F or equivalent income tax form was filed for the most recent year;

(5) the property's acreage is unchanged; and

(6) none of the property's acres have been enrolled in a federal or state farm program
since the initial application.

The owners and any persons who are actively farming the property must include the
appropriate Social Security numbers, and sign and date the application. If any of the specified
information has changed since the full application was filed, the owner must notify the
assessor, and must complete a new application to determine if the property continues to
qualify for the special agricultural homestead. The commissioner of revenue shall prepare
a standard reapplication form for use by the assessors.

(i) Agricultural land and buildings that were class 2a homestead property under section
273.13, subdivision 23, paragraph (a), for the 2007 assessment shall remain classified

273.13, subdivision 23, paragraph (a), for the 2008 assessment shall remain classified as

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2019 Supplement, section 270C.22, subdivision 1, is amended
to read:

Subdivision 1.

Adjustment; definition; period; rounding.

(a) The commissioner shall
annually make a cost of living adjustment to the dollar amounts noted in sections that
reference this section. The commissioner shall adjust the amounts based on the index as
provided in this section. For purposes of this section, "index" means the Chained Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
values of the index used to determine the adjustments under this section are the latest
published values when the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the initial value of the index
for August of the year preceding the year to which the adjustment applies.

(b) For the purposes of this section, "statutory year" means the year preceding the first
year for which dollar amounts are to be adjusted for inflation under sections that reference
this section. For adjustments under chapter 290A, the statutory year refers to the year in
which a taxpayer's household income used to calculate refunds under chapter 290A was
earned and not the year in which refunds are payable. For all other adjustments, the statutory
year refers to the taxable year unless otherwise specified.

(c) To determine the dollar amounts for taxable year 2020, the commissioner shall
determine the percentage change in the index for the 12-month period ending on August
31, 2019, and increase each of the unrounded dollar amounts in the sections referencing
this section by that percentage change. For each subsequent taxable year, the commissioner
shall increase the dollar amounts by the percentage change in the index from August 31 of
the year preceding the statutory year to August 31 of the year preceding the taxable year.

(d) To determine the dollar amounts for refunds payable in 2020 under chapter 290A,
the commissioner shall determine the percentage change in the index for the 12-month
period ending on August 31, 2019, and increase each of the unrounded dollar amounts in
the sections referencing this section by that percentage change. For each subsequent year,
the commissioner shall increase the dollar amounts by the percentage change in the index
from August 31 of the deleted text begin year preceding thedeleted text end statutory year to August 31 of the year preceding
the year in which refunds are payable.

(e) Unless otherwise provided, the commissioner shall round the amounts as adjusted
to the nearest $10 amount. If an amount ends in $5, the amount is rounded up to the nearest
$10 amount.
