ARTICLE 1

FEDERAL UPDATE

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 289A.02, subdivision 7, is amended to read:

Subd. 7.

Internal Revenue Code.

Unless specifically defined otherwise, "Internal
Revenue Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through deleted text begin December
31, 2018 deleted text end new text begin November 15, 2021 new text end .

new text begin EFFECTIVE DATE. new text end

new text begin This section is effective the day following final enactment, except
the changes incorporated by federal changes are effective retroactively at the same time the
changes were effective for federal purposes, but are subject to the application of Minnesota
Statutes, section 290.993, subdivision 2.
new text end

Sec. 2.

Minnesota Statutes 2021 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, other electing partnerships, and other qualifying entities
electing to file and pay the pass-through entity tax under subdivision 7a. 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, 16, deleted text begin and deleted text end 17, new text begin 19, and 20, new text end and the subtractions provided in:
(1) section 290.0132, subdivisions 9, 27, and 28, to the extent the amount is assignable or
allocable to Minnesota under section 290.17; and (2) section 290.0132, subdivision 14 new text begin , 31,
and 32 new text end . 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.

purposes, and with the modifications provided in sections 290.0131 to 290.0136.

(b) For an individual, the term "net income" means federal adjusted gross income with
the modifications provided in sections 290.0131, 290.0132, and 290.0135 to 290.0137.

(g) Except as otherwise provided, references to the Internal Revenue Code in this

determining net income for the applicable year.

Subd. 2c.

Schedules of rates for individuals, estates, and trusts.

computed by applying to taxable net income the following schedule of rates:

17, new text begin 19, and 20, new text end and 290.0137, paragraph (a); and reduced by

Sec. 19.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 290.095, subdivision 11, is amended to read:

Subd. 11.

Carryback or carryover adjustments.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph
(c), for individuals, estates, and trusts the amount of a net operating loss that may be carried
back or carried over shall be the same dollar amount allowable in the determination of
federal taxable income, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision, estates and
trusts must apply the following adjustments to the amount of the net operating loss that may
be carried back or carried over:

(1) Nonassignable income or losses as required by section 290.17.

(2) Deductions not allocable to Minnesota under section 290.17.

(b) The net operating loss carryback or carryover applied as a deduction in the taxable
year to which the net operating loss is carried back or carried over shall be equal to the net
operating loss carryback or carryover applied in the taxable year in arriving at federal taxable
income provided that trusts and estates must apply the following modifications:

(1) Increase the amount of carryback or carryover applied in the taxable year by the
amount of losses and interest, taxes and other expenses not assignable or allowable to
Minnesota incurred in the taxable year.

(2) Decrease the amount of carryback or carryover applied in the taxable year by the
amount of income not assignable to Minnesota earned in the taxable year. For estates and
trusts, the net operating loss carryback or carryover to the next consecutive taxable year
shall be the net operating loss carryback or carryover as calculated in clause (b) less the
amount applied in the earlier taxable year(s). No additional net operating loss carryback or
carryover shall be allowed to estates and trusts if the entire amount has been used to offset
Minnesota income in a year earlier than was possible on the federal return. However, if a
net operating loss carryback or carryover was allowed to offset federal income in a year
earlier than was possible on the Minnesota return, an estate or trust shall still be allowed to
offset Minnesota income but only if the loss was assignable to Minnesota in the year the
loss occurred.

(c) This paragraph does not apply to eligible small businesses that make a valid election
to carry back their losses for federal purposes under section 172(b)(1)(H) of the Internal
Revenue Code as amended through March 31, 2009.

(1) A net operating loss of an individual, estate, or trust that is allowed under this
subdivision and for which the taxpayer elects to carry back for more than two years under
section 172(b)(1)(H) of the Internal Revenue Code is a net operating loss carryback to each
of the two taxable years preceding the loss, and unused portions may be carried forward for
20 taxable years after the loss.

(2) The entire amount of the net operating loss for any taxable year must be carried to
the earliest of the taxable years to which the loss may be carried. The portion of the loss
which may be carried to each of the other taxable years is the excess, if any, of the amount
of the loss over the greater of the taxable net income or alternative minimum taxable income
for each of the taxable years to which the loss may be carried.

new text begin (d) For net operating loss carryovers or carrybacks arising in taxable years beginning
after December 31, 2017, and before December 31, 2020, a net operating loss carryover or
carryback is allowed as provided in the Internal Revenue Code as amended through December
31, 2018, as follows:
new text end

new text begin (1) the entire amount of the net operating loss, to the extent not already deducted, must
be carried to the earliest taxable year and any unused portion may be carried forward for

representative to the extent of the property and the Minnesota estate tax due with respect
to the property.

(7) "Resident decedent" means an individual whose domicile at the time of death was

(iv) intangible personal property, the state or country in which the decedent was domiciled

investor's family, owns, controls, or holds the power to vote 20 percent or more of the
outstanding securities of the qualified small business.

A member of the family of an individual disqualified by this paragraph is not eligible for a
credit under this section. For a married couple filing a joint return, the limitations in this
paragraph apply collectively to the investor and spouse. For purposes of determining the
ownership interest of an investor under this paragraph, the rules under section 267(c) and
267(e) of the Internal Revenue Code apply.

(d) Applications for tax credits must be made available on the department's website by
November 1 of the preceding year.

(e) Qualified investors and qualified funds must apply to the commissioner for tax credits.
Tax credits must be allocated to qualified investors or qualified funds in the order that the
tax credit request applications are filed with the department. The commissioner must approve
or reject tax credit request applications within 15 days of receiving the application. The
investment specified in the application must be made within 60 days of the allocation of
the credits. If the investment is not made within 60 days, the credit allocation is canceled
and available for reallocation. A qualified investor or qualified fund that fails to invest as
specified in the application, within 60 days of allocation of the credits, must notify the
commissioner of the failure to invest within five business days of the expiration of the
60-day investment period.

(f) All tax credit request applications filed with the department on the same day must
be treated as having been filed contemporaneously. If two or more qualified investors or
qualified funds file tax credit request applications on the same day, and the aggregate amount
of credit allocation claims exceeds the aggregate limit of credits under this section or the
lesser amount of credits that remain unallocated on that day, then the credits must be allocated
among the qualified investors or qualified funds who filed on that day on a pro rata basis
with respect to the amounts claimed. The pro rata allocation for any one qualified investor
or qualified fund is the product obtained by multiplying a fraction, the numerator of which
is the amount of the credit allocation claim filed on behalf of a qualified investor and the
denominator of which is the total of all credit allocation claims filed on behalf of all
applicants on that day, by the amount of credits that remain unallocated on that day for the
taxable year.

(g) A qualified investor or qualified fund, or a qualified small business acting on their
behalf, must notify the commissioner when an investment for which credits were allocated
has been made, and the taxable year in which the investment was made. A qualified fund
must also provide the commissioner with a statement indicating the amount invested by
each investor in the qualified fund based on each investor's share of the assets of the qualified
fund at the time of the qualified investment. After receiving notification that the investment
was made, the commissioner must issue credit certificates for the taxable year in which the
investment was made to the qualified investor or, for an investment made by a qualified
fund, to each qualified investor who is an investor in the fund. The certificate must state
that the credit is subject to revocation if the qualified investor or qualified fund does not
hold the investment in the qualified small business for at least three years, consisting of the
calendar year in which the investment was made and the two following years. The three-year
holding period does not apply if:

(1) the investment by the qualified investor or qualified fund becomes worthless before
the end of the three-year period;

(2) 80 percent or more of the assets of the qualified small business is sold before the end
of the three-year period;

(3) the qualified small business is sold before the end of the three-year period;

(4) the qualified small business's common stock begins trading on a public exchange
before the end of the three-year period; or

(5) the qualified investor dies before the end of the three-year period.

(h) The commissioner must notify the commissioner of revenue of credit certificates
issued under this section.

(i) The credit allowed under this subdivision is effective as follows:

(1) $10,000,000 for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, and before January
1, 2022; and

(2) deleted text begin $5,000,000 deleted text end new text begin $12,000,000 new text end for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, and

Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 289A.08, subdivision 7a, is amended
to read:

Subd. 7a.

Pass-through entity tax.

(a) For the purposes of this subdivision, the following
terms have the meanings given:

addition provided in section 290.0131, subdivision 5, and the subtraction provided in section
290.0132, subdivision 3, except that the provisions that apply to a partnership apply to a
qualifying entity and the provisions that apply to a partner apply to a qualifying owner. The
income of deleted text begin both deleted text end a resident deleted text begin and deleted text end new text begin qualifying owner of an entity taxed as a partnership under
the Internal Revenue Code is not subject to allocation outside this state as provided for
resident individuals under section 290.17, subdivision 1, paragraph (a). The income of a new text end
nonresident qualifying owner new text begin or the income of a qualifying owner of an entity taxed as an
S corporation including a qualified subchapter S subsidiary organized under section
1361(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code new text end is allocated and assigned to this state as provided
for nonresident partners and shareholders under sections 290.17, 290.191, and 290.20;

(2) "qualifying entity" means a partnership, limited liability company new text begin taxed as a
partnership or S corporation new text end , or S corporation including a qualified subchapter S subsidiary
organized under section 1361(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualifying entity deleted text begin does
deleted text end deleted text begin not deleted text end new text begin may new text end include a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation that has a deleted text begin partnership,
limited liability company other than a disregarded entity, or deleted text end corporation as a partner, member,
or shareholder new text begin , provided those entities are excluded from the qualifying entity's tax return;
the entity is taxed as a partnership, limited liability company, or S corporation; and is not
a publicly traded partnership, as defined in section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended through January 1, 2021 new text end ; and

(3) "qualifying owner" means:

(i) a resident or nonresident individual new text begin , new text end new text begin trust, new text end or estate new text begin , new text end that is a partner, member, or
shareholder of a qualifying entity; deleted text begin or
deleted text end

(ii) deleted text begin a resident or nonresident trust that is a shareholder of a qualifying entity that is an
S corporation deleted text end new text begin an entity taxed as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code; or
new text end

new text begin (iii) a disregarded entity that has a qualifying owner as its single owner new text end .

(b) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, in which the taxes of a
qualifying owner are limited under section 164(b)(6)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, a
qualifying entity may elect to file a return and pay the pass-through entity tax imposed under
paragraph (c). The election:

(1) must be made on or before the due date or extended due date of the qualifying entity's
pass-through entity tax return;

(2) may only be made by qualifying owners who collectively hold more than a 50 percent
ownership interest in the qualifying entity;

(3) is binding on all qualifying owners who have an ownership interest in the qualifying
entity; and

(4) once made is irrevocable for the taxable year.

(c) Subject to the election in paragraph (b), a pass-through entity tax is imposed on a
qualifying entity in an amount equal to the sum of the tax liability of each qualifying owner.

(d) The amount of a qualifying owner's tax liability under paragraph (c) is the amount
of the qualifying owner's income multiplied by the highest tax rate for individuals under
section 290.06, subdivision 2c. When making this determination:

(1) nonbusiness deductions, standard deductions, or personal exemptions are not allowed;
and

(2) a credit or deduction is allowed only to the extent allowed to the qualifying owner.

(e) The amount of each credit and deduction used to determine a qualifying owner's tax
liability under paragraph (d) must also be used to determine that qualifying owner's income
tax liability under chapter 290.

(f) This subdivision does not negate the requirement that a qualifying owner pay estimated
tax if the qualifying owner's tax liability would exceed the requirements set forth in section
289A.25. The qualifying owner's liability to pay estimated tax on the qualifying owner's
tax liability as determined under paragraph (d) is, however, satisfied when the qualifying
entity pays estimated tax in the manner prescribed in section 289A.25 for composite estimated
tax.

(g) A qualifying owner's adjusted basis in the interest in the qualifying entity, and the
treatment of distributions, is determined as if the election to pay the pass-through entity tax
under paragraph (b) is not made.

(h) To the extent not inconsistent with this subdivision, for purposes of this chapter, a
pass-through entity tax return must be treated as a composite return and a qualifying entity
filing a pass-through entity tax return must be treated as a partnership filing a composite
return.

(i) The provisions of subdivision 17 apply to the election to pay the pass-through entity
tax under this subdivision.

(j) If a nonresident qualifying owner of a qualifying entity making the election to file
and pay the tax under this subdivision has no other Minnesota source income, filing of the
pass-through entity tax return is a return for purposes of subdivision 1, provided that the
nonresident qualifying owner must not have any Minnesota source income other than the
income from the qualifying entity, other electing qualifying entities, and other partnerships
electing to file a composite return under subdivision 7. If it is determined that the nonresident
qualifying owner has other Minnesota source income, the inclusion of the income and tax
liability for that owner under this provision will not constitute a return to satisfy the
requirements of subdivision 1. The tax paid for the qualifying owner as part of the
pass-through entity tax return is allowed as a payment of the tax by the qualifying owner
on the date on which the pass-through entity tax return payment was made.

a dependent, income received as a Minnesota family investment program grant or allowance
to or on behalf of the child must not be taken into account in determining whether the child
received more than half of the child's support from the taxpayer.

(b) If a child who has not attained the age of six years at the close of the taxable year is
cared for at a licensed family day care home operated by the child's parent, the taxpayer is

the maximum limit for one qualified individual under section 21(c) and (d) of the Internal
Revenue Code. If the child is older than 16 months of age but has not attained the age of

the combined earned income of the couple or (ii) the amount of the maximum limit for one
qualified individual under section 21(c) and (d) of the Internal Revenue Code will be deemed
to be the employment related expense paid for that child. The earned income limitation of
section 21(d) of the Internal Revenue Code shall not apply to this deemed amount. These
deemed amounts apply regardless of whether any employment-related expenses have been
paid.

(d) If the taxpayer is not required and does not file a federal individual income tax return
for the tax year, no credit is allowed for any amount paid to any person unless:

(1) the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of the person are included on
the return claiming the credit; or

(2) if the person is an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the name
and address of the person are included on the return claiming the credit.

In the case of a failure to provide the information required under the preceding sentence,
the preceding sentence does not apply if it is shown that the taxpayer exercised due diligence
in attempting to provide the information required.

(e) In the case of a nonresident, part-year resident, or a person who has earned income
not subject to tax under this chapter including earned income excluded pursuant to section
290.0132, subdivision 10, the credit determined under section 21 of the Internal Revenue
Code must be allocated based on the ratio by which the earned income of the claimant and
the claimant's spouse from Minnesota sources bears to the total earned income of the claimant
and the claimant's spouse.

(f) For residents of Minnesota, the subtractions for military pay under section 290.0132,
subdivisions 11 and 12, are not considered "earned income not subject to tax under this
chapter."

(g) For residents of Minnesota, the exclusion of combat pay under section 112 of the

credit is equal to the lesser of the credit otherwise calculated under this subdivision, or the
amount equal to $600 minus five percent of federal adjusted gross income in excess of

Sec. 10.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 273.13, subdivision 22, is amended to read:

Subd. 22.

Class 1.

(a) Except as provided in subdivision 23 and in paragraphs (b) and
(c), real estate which is residential and used for homestead purposes is class 1a. In the case
of a duplex or triplex in which one of the units is used for homestead purposes, the entire
property is deemed to be used for homestead purposes. The market value of class 1a property
must be determined based upon the value of the house, garage, and land.

The first $500,000 of market value of class 1a property has a net classification rate of
one percent of its market value; and the market value of class 1a property that exceeds
$500,000 has a classification rate of 1.25 percent of its market value.

(b) Class 1b property includes homestead real estate or homestead manufactured homes
used for the purposes of a homestead by:

(1) any person who is blind as defined in section 256D.35, or the person who is blind
and the spouse of the person who is blind;

(2) any person who is permanently and totally disabled or by the person with a disability
and the spouse of the person with a disability; or

(3) the surviving spouse of a veteran who was permanently and totally disabled
homesteading a property classified under this paragraph for taxes payable in 2008.

Property is classified and assessed under clause (2) only if the government agency or
income-providing source certifies, upon the request of the homestead occupant, that the
homestead occupant satisfies the disability requirements of this paragraph, and that the
property is not eligible for the valuation exclusion under subdivision 34.

Property is classified and assessed under paragraph (b) only if the commissioner of
revenue or the county assessor certifies that the homestead occupant satisfies the requirements
of this paragraph.

Permanently and totally disabled for the purpose of this subdivision means a condition
which is permanent in nature and totally incapacitates the person from working at an
occupation which brings the person an income. The first $50,000 market value of class 1b
property has a net classification rate of .45 percent of its market value. The remaining market
value of class 1b property is classified as class 1a or class 2a property, whichever is
appropriate.

(c) Class 1c property is commercial use real and personal property that abuts public
water as defined in section 103G.005, subdivision 15, or abuts a state trail administered by
the Department of Natural Resources, and is devoted to temporary and seasonal residential
occupancy for recreational purposes but not devoted to commercial purposes for more than
250 days in the year preceding the year of assessment, and that includes a portion used as
a homestead by the owner, which includes a dwelling occupied as a homestead by a
shareholder of a corporation that owns the resort, a partner in a partnership that owns the
resort, or a member of a limited liability company that owns the resort even if the title to
the homestead is held by the corporation, partnership, or limited liability company. For
purposes of this paragraph, property is devoted to a commercial purpose on a specific day
if any portion of the property, excluding the portion used exclusively as a homestead, is
used for residential occupancy and a fee is charged for residential occupancy. Class 1c
property must contain three or more rental units. A "rental unit" is defined as a cabin,
condominium, townhouse, sleeping room, or individual camping site equipped with water
and electrical hookups for recreational vehicles. Class 1c property must provide recreational
activities such as the rental of ice fishing houses, boats and motors, snowmobiles, downhill
or cross-country ski equipment; provide marina services, launch services, or guide services;
or sell bait and fishing tackle. Any unit in which the right to use the property is transferred
to an individual or entity by deeded interest, or the sale of shares or stock, no longer qualifies
for class 1c even though it may remain available for rent. A camping pad offered for rent
by a property that otherwise qualifies for class 1c is also class 1c, regardless of the term of
the rental agreement, as long as the use of the camping pad does not exceed 250 days. If
the same owner owns two separate parcels that are located in the same township, and one
of those properties is classified as a class 1c property and the other would be eligible to be
classified as a class 1c property if it was used as the homestead of the owner, both properties
will be assessed as a single class 1c property; for purposes of this sentence, properties are
deemed to be owned by the same owner if each of them is owned by a limited liability
company, and both limited liability companies have the same membership. The portion of
the property used as a homestead is class 1a property under paragraph (a). The remainder
of the property is classified as follows: the first deleted text begin $600,000 deleted text end new text begin $850,000 new text end of market value is tier
I, the next deleted text begin $1,700,000 deleted text end new text begin $2,250,000 new text end of market value is tier II, and any remaining market value
is tier III. The classification rates for class 1c are: tier I, 0.50 percent; tier II, 1.0 percent;
and tier III, 1.25 percent. Owners of real and personal property devoted to temporary and
seasonal residential occupancy for recreation purposes in which all or a portion of the
property was devoted to commercial purposes for not more than 250 days in the year
preceding the year of assessment desiring classification as class 1c, must submit a declaration
to the assessor designating the cabins or units occupied for 250 days or less in the year
preceding the year of assessment by January 15 of the assessment year. Those cabins or
units and a proportionate share of the land on which they are located must be designated as
class 1c as otherwise provided. The remainder of the cabins or units and a proportionate
share of the land on which they are located must be designated as class 3a commercial. The
owner of property desiring designation as class 1c property must provide guest registers or
other records demonstrating that the units for which class 1c designation is sought were not
occupied for more than 250 days in the year preceding the assessment if so requested. The
portion of a property operated as a (1) restaurant, (2) bar, (3) gift shop, (4) conference center
or meeting room, and (5) other nonresidential facility operated on a commercial basis not
directly related to temporary and seasonal residential occupancy for recreation purposes
does not qualify for class 1c.

(d) Class 1d property includes structures that meet all of the following criteria:

(1) the structure is located on property that is classified as agricultural property under
section 273.13, subdivision 23;

(2) the structure is occupied exclusively by seasonal farm workers during the time when
they work on that farm, and the occupants are not charged rent for the privilege of occupying
the property, provided that use of the structure for storage of farm equipment and produce
does not disqualify the property from classification under this paragraph;

(3) the structure meets all applicable health and safety requirements for the appropriate
season; and

(4) the structure is not salable as residential property because it does not comply with
local ordinances relating to location in relation to streets or roads.

The market value of class 1d property has the same classification rates as class 1a property
under paragraph (a).

Sec. 11.

Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 273.13, subdivision 25, is amended

Subd. 25.

Class 4.

(a) Class 4a is residential real estate containing four or more units
and used or held for use by the owner or by the tenants or lessees of the owner as a residence
for rental periods of 30 days or more, excluding property qualifying for class 4d. Class 4a
also includes hospitals licensed under sections 144.50 to 144.56, other than hospitals exempt
under section 272.02, and contiguous property used for hospital purposes, without regard
to whether the property has been platted or subdivided. The market value of class 4a property
has a classification rate of 1.25 percent.

(b) Class 4b includes:

(1) residential real estate containing less than four units, including property rented as a
short-term rental property for more than 14 days in the preceding year, that does not qualify
as class 4bb, other than seasonal residential recreational property;

(2) manufactured homes not classified under any other provision;

(3) a dwelling, garage, and surrounding one acre of property on a nonhomestead farm
classified under subdivision 23, paragraph (b) containing two or three units; and

(4) unimproved property that is classified residential as determined under subdivision
33.

For the purposes of this paragraph, "short-term rental property" means nonhomestead
residential real estate rented for periods of less than 30 consecutive days.

The market value of class 4b property has a classification rate of 1.25 percent.

(c) Class 4bb includes:

residential recreational property;

(2) a single family dwelling, garage, and surrounding one acre of property on a
nonhomestead farm classified under subdivision 23, paragraph (b); and

(3) a condominium-type storage unit having an individual property identification number
that is not used for a commercial purpose.

Class 4bb property has the same classification rates as class 1a property under subdivision
22.

Property that has been classified as seasonal residential recreational property at any time
during which it has been owned by the current owner or spouse of the current owner does
not qualify for class 4bb.

(d) Class 4c property includes:

(1) except as provided in subdivision 22, paragraph (c), real and personal property
devoted to commercial temporary and seasonal residential occupancy for recreation purposes,
for not more than 250 days in the year preceding the year of assessment. For purposes of
this clause, property is devoted to a commercial purpose on a specific day if any portion of
the property is used for residential occupancy, and a fee is charged for residential occupancy.
Class 4c property under this clause must contain three or more rental units. A "rental unit"
is defined as a cabin, condominium, townhouse, sleeping room, or individual camping site
equipped with water and electrical hookups for recreational vehicles. A camping pad offered
for rent by a property that otherwise qualifies for class 4c under this clause is also class 4c
under this clause regardless of the term of the rental agreement, as long as the use of the
camping pad does not exceed 250 days. In order for a property to be classified under this
clause, either (i) the business located on the property must provide recreational activities,
at least 40 percent of the annual gross lodging receipts related to the property must be from
business conducted during 90 consecutive days, and either (A) at least 60 percent of all paid
bookings by lodging guests during the year must be for periods of at least two consecutive
nights; or (B) at least 20 percent of the annual gross receipts must be from charges for
providing recreational activities, or (ii) the business must contain 20 or fewer rental units,
and must be located in a township or a city with a population of 2,500 or less located outside
the metropolitan area, as defined under section 473.121, subdivision 2, that contains a portion
of a state trail administered by the Department of Natural Resources. For purposes of item
(i)(A), a paid booking of five or more nights shall be counted as two bookings. Class 4c
property also includes commercial use real property used exclusively for recreational
purposes in conjunction with other class 4c property classified under this clause and devoted
to temporary and seasonal residential occupancy for recreational purposes, up to a total of
two acres, provided the property is not devoted to commercial recreational use for more
than 250 days in the year preceding the year of assessment and is located within two miles
of the class 4c property with which it is used. In order for a property to qualify for
classification under this clause, the owner must submit a declaration to the assessor
designating the cabins or units occupied for 250 days or less in the year preceding the year
of assessment by January 15 of the assessment year. Those cabins or units and a proportionate
share of the land on which they are located must be designated class 4c under this clause
as otherwise provided. The remainder of the cabins or units and a proportionate share of
the land on which they are located will be designated as class 3a. The owner of property
desiring designation as class 4c property under this clause must provide guest registers or
other records demonstrating that the units for which class 4c designation is sought were not
occupied for more than 250 days in the year preceding the assessment if so requested. The
portion of a property operated as a (1) restaurant, (2) bar, (3) gift shop, (4) conference center

spouse holds the legal or beneficial title to the homestead and permanently resides there,
the exclusion shall carry over to the benefit of the veteran's spouse until such time as the
spouse remarries, or sells, transfers, or otherwise disposes of the property, except as otherwise
provided in paragraph (n). Qualification under this paragraph requires an application under
paragraph (h), and a spouse must notify the assessor if there is a change in the spouse's
marital status, ownership of the property, or use of the property as a permanent residence. new text begin
If a spouse previously received the exclusion under this paragraph, but the exclusion expired
prior to assessment year 2019 before the eligibility time period for surviving spouses was
changed to a lifetime benefit, the spouse may reapply under paragraph (h) for the exclusion
under this paragraph.
new text end

(d) If the spouse of a member of any branch or unit of the United States armed forces
who dies due to a service-connected cause while serving honorably in active service, as
indicated on United States Government Form DD1300 or DD2064, holds the legal or
beneficial title to a homestead and permanently resides there, the spouse is entitled to the

(h) for the exclusion under this paragraph.
new text end

(e) If a veteran meets the disability criteria of paragraph (a) but does not own property
classified as homestead in the state of Minnesota, then the homestead of the veteran's primary
family caregiver, if any, is eligible for the exclusion that the veteran would otherwise qualify
for under paragraph (b).

(f) In the case of an agricultural homestead, only the portion of the property consisting
of the house and garage and immediately surrounding one acre of land qualifies for the
valuation exclusion under this subdivision.

for the market value exclusion under subdivision 35, or classification under subdivision 22,
paragraph (b).

(h) To qualify for a valuation exclusion under this subdivision a property owner must
apply to the assessor by December 31 of the first assessment year for which the exclusion
is sought. Except as provided in paragraph (c), the owner of a property that has been accepted
for a valuation exclusion must notify the assessor if there is a change in ownership of the
property or in the use of the property as a homestead.

(i) A first-time application by a qualifying spouse for the market value exclusion under
paragraph (d) must be made any time within two years of the death of the service member new text begin ,
within two years of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs Dependency and
Indemnity Compensation determination, or by December 31, 2023, whichever is later. A
qualifying spouse whose application was previously denied may reapply, pursuant to this
paragraph, by December 31, 2023 new text end .

(j) For purposes of this subdivision:

(1) "active service" has the meaning given in section 190.05;

(2) "own" means that the person's name is present as an owner on the property deed;

(4) "veteran" has the meaning given the term in section 197.447.

(k) If a veteran dying after December 31, 2011, did not apply for or receive the exclusion
under paragraph (b), clause (2), before dying, the veteran's spouse is entitled to the benefit
under paragraph (b), clause (2), until the spouse remarries or sells, transfers, or otherwise
disposes of the property, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (n), if:

(1) the spouse files a first-time application within two years of the death of the service
member new text begin , within two years of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs Dependency
and Indemnity Compensation determination, if applicable, new text end or by deleted text begin June 1, 2019 deleted text end new text begin December
31, 2023 new text end , whichever is later new text begin . A spouse whose application was previously denied may reapply,

(i) the veteran met the total (100 percent) and permanent disability requirement under
paragraph (b), clause (2); or

(ii) the spouse has been awarded dependency and indemnity compensation.

(l) The purpose of this provision of law providing a level of homestead property tax
relief for veterans with a disability, their primary family caregivers, and their surviving
spouses is to help ease the burdens of war for those among our state's citizens who bear
those burdens most heavily.

(m) By July 1, the county veterans service officer must certify the disability rating and
permanent address of each veteran receiving the benefit under paragraph (b) to the assessor.

(n) A spouse who received the benefit in paragraph (c), (d), or (k) but no longer holds
the legal or beneficial title to the property may continue to receive the exclusion for a
property other than the property for which the exclusion was initially granted until the spouse
remarries or sells, transfers, or otherwise disposes of the property, provided that:

(1) the spouse applies under paragraph (h) for the continuation of the exclusion allowed
under this paragraph;

(2) the spouse holds the legal or beneficial title to the property for which the continuation
of the exclusion is sought under this paragraph, and permanently resides there;

(3) the estimated market value of the property for which the exclusion is sought under
this paragraph is less than or equal to the estimated market value of the property that first
received the exclusion, based on the value of each property on the date of the sale of the
property that first received the exclusion; and

(4) the spouse has not previously received the benefit under this paragraph for a property
other than the property for which the exclusion is sought.

parcel of real property for which a particular tax statement is prepared. The dollar amounts
attributable to the county, the state tax, the voter approved school tax, the other local school
tax, the township or municipality, and the total of the metropolitan special taxing districts
as defined in section 275.065, subdivision 3, paragraph (i), must be separately stated. The

purpose may be separated from the remaining county levy amount. The amount of the tax
on homesteads qualifying under the senior citizens' property tax deferral program under
chapter 290B is the total amount of property tax before subtraction of the deferred property
tax amount. The amount of the tax on contamination value imposed under sections 270.91
to 270.98, if any, must also be separately stated. The dollar amounts, including the dollar
amount of any special assessments, may be rounded to the nearest even whole dollar. For
purposes of this section whole odd-numbered dollars may be adjusted to the next higher
even-numbered dollar. The amount of market value excluded under section 273.11,
subdivision 16, if any, must also be listed on the tax statement.

(c) Real and personal property tax statements must contain the following information
in the order given in this paragraph. The information must contain the current year tax
information in the right column with the corresponding information for the previous year
in a column on the left:

(1) the property's estimated market value under section 273.11, subdivision 1;

(2) the property's homestead market value exclusion under section 273.13, subdivision
35 new text begin , or the affordable housing market value exclusion under section 273.13, subdivision 36 new text end ;

received under section 273.135 must be separately stated and identified as "taconite tax
relief"; and

(7) the net tax payable in the manner required in paragraph (a).

(d) If the county uses envelopes for mailing property tax statements and if the county
agrees, a taxing district may include a notice with the property tax statement notifying
taxpayers when the taxing district will begin its budget deliberations for the current year,
and encouraging taxpayers to attend the hearings. If the county allows notices to be included
in the envelope containing the property tax statement, and if more than one taxing district
relative to a given property decides to include a notice with the tax statement, the county
treasurer or auditor must coordinate the process and may combine the information on a
single announcement.

Subd. 3.

Notice of proposed property taxes.

(a) The county auditor shall prepare and
the county treasurer shall deliver after November 10 and on or before November 24 each
year, by first class mail to each taxpayer at the address listed on the county's current year's
assessment roll, a notice of proposed property taxes. Upon written request by the taxpayer,
the treasurer may send the notice in electronic form or by electronic mail instead of on paper
or by ordinary mail.

(b) The commissioner of revenue shall prescribe the form of the notice.

(c) The notice must inform taxpayers that it contains the amount of property taxes each
taxing authority proposes to collect for taxes payable the following year. In the case of a
town, or in the case of the state general tax, the final tax amount will be its proposed tax.
The notice must clearly state for each city that has a population over 500, county, school
district, regional library authority established under section 134.201, metropolitan taxing
districts as defined in paragraph (i), and fire protection and emergency medical services
special taxing districts established under section 144F.01, the time and place of a meeting
for each taxing authority in which the budget and levy will be discussed and public input
allowed, prior to the final budget and levy determination. The taxing authorities must provide
the county auditor with the information to be included in the notice on or before the time it
certifies its proposed levy under subdivision 1. The public must be allowed to speak at that
meeting, which must occur after November 24 and must not be held before 6:00 p.m. It
must provide a telephone number for the taxing authority that taxpayers may call if they
have questions related to the notice and an address where comments will be received by
mail, except that no notice required under this section shall be interpreted as requiring the
printing of a personal telephone number or address as the contact information for a taxing
authority. If a taxing authority does not maintain public offices where telephone calls can
be received by the authority, the authority may inform the county of the lack of a public
telephone number and the county shall not list a telephone number for that taxing authority.

(d) The notice must state for each parcel:

(1) the market value of the property as determined under section 273.11, and used for
computing property taxes payable in the following year and for taxes payable in the current
year as each appears in the records of the county assessor on November 1 of the current
year; and, in the case of residential property, whether the property is classified as homestead
or nonhomestead. The notice must clearly inform taxpayers of the years to which the market
values apply and that the values are final values;

(2) the items listed below, shown separately by county, city or town, and state general
tax, agricultural homestead credit under section 273.1384, school building bond agricultural
credit under section 273.1387, new text begin agricultural riparian buffer credit under section 273.1388, new text end
voter approved school levy, other local school levy, and the sum of the special taxing
districts, and as a total of all taxing authorities:

(i) the actual tax for taxes payable in the current year; and

(ii) the proposed tax amount.

If the county levy under clause (2) includes an amount for a lake improvement district
as defined under sections 103B.501 to 103B.581, the amount attributable for that purpose
must be separately stated from the remaining county levy amount.

In the case of a town or the state general tax, the final tax shall also be its proposed tax
unless the town changes its levy at a special town meeting under section 365.52. If a school
district has certified under section 126C.17, subdivision 9, that a referendum will be held
in the school district at the November general election, the county auditor must note next
to the school district's proposed amount that a referendum is pending and that, if approved
by the voters, the tax amount may be higher than shown on the notice. In the case of the
city of Minneapolis, the levy for Minneapolis Park and Recreation shall be listed separately
from the remaining amount of the city's levy. In the case of the city of St. Paul, the levy for
the St. Paul Library Agency must be listed separately from the remaining amount of the
city's levy. In the case of Ramsey County, any amount levied under section 134.07 may be
listed separately from the remaining amount of the county's levy. In the case of a parcel
where tax increment or the fiscal disparities areawide tax under chapter 276A or 473F
applies, the proposed tax levy on the captured value or the proposed tax levy on the tax
capacity subject to the areawide tax must each be stated separately and not included in the
sum of the special taxing districts; and

(3) the increase or decrease between the total taxes payable in the current year and the
total proposed taxes, expressed as a percentage.

For purposes of this section, the amount of the tax on homesteads qualifying under the
senior citizens' property tax deferral program under chapter 290B is the total amount of
property tax before subtraction of the deferred property tax amount.

(e) The notice must clearly state that the proposed or final taxes do not include the
following:

(1) special assessments;

(2) levies approved by the voters after the date the proposed taxes are certified, including
bond referenda and school district levy referenda;

(3) a levy limit increase approved by the voters by the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November of the levy year as provided under section 275.73;

(4) amounts necessary to pay cleanup or other costs due to a natural disaster occurring
after the date the proposed taxes are certified;

(5) amounts necessary to pay tort judgments against the taxing authority that become
final after the date the proposed taxes are certified; and

(6) the contamination tax imposed on properties which received market value reductions
for contamination.

(f) Except as provided in subdivision 7, failure of the county auditor to prepare or the
county treasurer to deliver the notice as required in this section does not invalidate the
proposed or final tax levy or the taxes payable pursuant to the tax levy.

(g) If the notice the taxpayer receives under this section lists the property as
nonhomestead, and satisfactory documentation is provided to the county assessor by the
applicable deadline, and the property qualifies for the homestead classification in that
assessment year, the assessor shall reclassify the property to homestead for taxes payable
in the following year.

(h) In the case of class 4 residential property used as a residence for lease or rental
periods of 30 days or more, the taxpayer must either:

(1) mail or deliver a copy of the notice of proposed property taxes to each tenant, renter,
or lessee; or

(2) post a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the premises of the property.

The notice must be mailed or posted by the taxpayer by November 27 or within three
days of receipt of the notice, whichever is later. A taxpayer may notify the county treasurer
of the address of the taxpayer, agent, caretaker, or manager of the premises to which the
notice must be mailed in order to fulfill the requirements of this paragraph.

(i) For purposes of this subdivision and subdivision 6, "metropolitan special taxing
districts" means the following taxing districts in the seven-county metropolitan area that
levy a property tax for any of the specified purposes listed below:

(1) Metropolitan Council under section 473.132, 473.167, 473.249, 473.325, 473.446,

(2) Metropolitan Airports Commission under section 473.667, 473.671, or 473.672; and

(3) Metropolitan Mosquito Control Commission under section 473.711.

For purposes of this section, any levies made by the regional rail authorities in the county
of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, or Washington under chapter 398A
shall be included with the appropriate county's levy.

(j) The governing body of a county, city, or school district may, with the consent of the
county board, include supplemental information with the statement of proposed property
taxes about the impact of state aid increases or decreases on property tax increases or
decreases and on the level of services provided in the affected jurisdiction. This supplemental
information may include information for the following year, the current year, and for as
many consecutive preceding years as deemed appropriate by the governing body of the
county, city, or school district. It may include only information regarding:

(1) the impact of inflation as measured by the implicit price deflator for state and local
government purchases;

(2) population growth and decline;

(3) state or federal government action; and

(4) other financial factors that affect the level of property taxation and local services
that the governing body of the county, city, or school district may deem appropriate to
include.

The information may be presented using tables, written narrative, and graphic
representations and may contain instruction toward further sources of information or
opportunity for comment.

levy, and next from the district's general fund or community service fund levies for the
following year. A district using an excess amount in the debt redemption fund to retire the
certificates or notes shall report the amount used for this purpose to the commissioner by
July 15 of the following fiscal year. A district having an outstanding capital loan under
section 126C.69 or an outstanding debt service loan under section 126C.68 must not use an

Subd. 2.

Expenditures outside district.

(a) For each tax increment financing district,
an amount equal to at least 75 percent of the total revenue derived from tax increments paid
by properties in the district must be expended on activities in the district or to pay bonds,
to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to finance activities in the district or
to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. For districts, other
than redevelopment districts for which the request for certification was made after June 30,
1995, the in-district percentage for purposes of the preceding sentence is 80 percent. Not
more than 25 percent of the total revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties
in the district may be expended, through a development fund or otherwise, on activities
outside of the district but within the defined geographic area of the project except to pay,
or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. For districts, other than
redevelopment districts for which the request for certification was made after June 30, 1995,
the pooling percentage for purposes of the preceding sentence is 20 percent. The revenues
derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district that are expended on costs
under section 469.176, subdivision 4h, paragraph (b), may be deducted first before calculating
the percentages that must be expended within and without the district.

(b) In the case of a housing district, a housing project, as defined in section 469.174,
subdivision 11, is an activity in the district.

(c) All administrative expenses are new text begin considered to be expenditures new text end for activities outside
of the district, except that if the only expenses for activities outside of the district under this
subdivision are for the purposes described in paragraph (d), administrative expenses will
be considered as expenditures for activities in the district.

(d) The authority may elect, in the tax increment financing plan for the district, to increase
by up to ten percentage points the permitted amount of expenditures for activities located
outside the geographic area of the district under paragraph (a). As permitted by section
469.176, subdivision 4k, the expenditures, including the permitted expenditures under
paragraph (a), need not be made within the geographic area of the project. Expenditures
that meet the requirements of this paragraph are legally permitted expenditures of the district,
notwithstanding section 469.176, subdivisions 4b, 4c, and 4j. To qualify for the increase
under this paragraph, the expenditures must:

(1) be used exclusively to assist housing that meets the requirement for a qualified
low-income building, as that term is used in section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code; and

(2) not exceed the qualified basis of the housing, as defined under section 42(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code, less the amount of any credit allowed under section 42 of the Internal
Revenue Code; and

(3) be used to:

(i) acquire and prepare the site of the housing;

(ii) acquire, construct, or rehabilitate the housing; or

(iii) make public improvements directly related to the housing; or

(4) be used to develop housing:

(i) if the market value of the housing does not exceed the lesser of:

(A) 150 percent of the average market value of single-family homes in that municipality;
or

(B) $200,000 for municipalities located in the metropolitan area, as defined in section
473.121, or $125,000 for all other municipalities; and

(ii) if the expenditures are used to pay the cost of site acquisition, relocation, demolition
of existing structures, site preparation, and pollution abatement on one or more parcels, if
the parcel contains a residence containing one to four family dwelling units that has been
vacant for six or more months and is in foreclosure as defined in section 325N.10, subdivision
7, but without regard to whether the residence is the owner's principal residence, and only
after the redemption period has expired; or

(5) to assist owner-occupied housing that meets the requirements of section 469.1761,
subdivision 2.

(e) The authority under paragraph (d), clause (4), expires on December 31, 2016.
Increments may continue to be expended under this authority after that date, if they are used
to pay bonds or binding contracts that would qualify under subdivision 3, paragraph (a), if
December 31, 2016, is considered to be the last date of the five-year period after certification
under that provision.

new text begin (f) For purposes of determining whether the minimum percentage of expenditures for
activities in the district and maximum percentages of expenditures allowed on activities
outside the district have been met under this subdivision, any amounts returned to the county
auditor as excess increment, as returned increment under subdivision 4, paragraph (g), or
as remedies under section 469.1771, subdivision 2, shall first be subtracted from the total
revenues derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district. Any other amounts

Sec. 9.

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 469.1763, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

Subd. 6.

Pooling permitted for deficits.

(a) This subdivision applies only to districts
for which the request for certification was made before August 1, 2001, and without regard
to whether the request for certification was made prior to August 1, 1979.

(b) The municipality for the district may transfer available increments from another tax
increment financing district located in the municipality, if the transfer is necessary to
eliminate a deficit in the district to which the increments are transferred. The municipality
may transfer increments as provided by this subdivision without regard to whether the
transfer or expenditure is authorized by the tax increment financing plan for the district
from which the transfer is made. A deficit in the district for purposes of this subdivision
means the lesser of the following two amounts:

(1) deleted text begin (i) deleted text end the amount due during the calendar year to pay preexisting obligations of the
district; minus new text begin the sum of
new text end

deleted text begin (ii) deleted text end new text begin (i) new text end the total increments collected or to be collected from properties located within
the district that are available for the calendar year including amounts collected in prior years
that are currently available; plus

deleted text begin (iii) deleted text end new text begin (ii) new text end total increments from properties located in other districts in the municipality
including amounts collected in prior years that are available to be used to meet the district's
obligations under this section, excluding this subdivision, or other provisions of law; or

(2) the reduction in increments collected from properties located in the district for the
calendar year as a result of the changes in classification rates in Laws 1997, chapter 231,
article 1; Laws 1998, chapter 389, article 2; and Laws 1999, chapter 243, and Laws 2001,
First Special Session chapter 5, or the elimination of the general education tax levy under
Laws 2001, First Special Session chapter 5.

The authority may compute the deficit amount under clause (1) only (without regard to
the limit under clause (2)) if the authority makes an irrevocable commitment, by resolution,
to use increments from the district to which increments are to be transferred and any
transferred increments are only used to pay preexisting obligations and administrative
expenses for the district that are required to be paid under section 469.176, subdivision 4h,
paragraph (a).

(c) A preexisting obligation means:

(1) bonds issued and sold before August 1, 2001, or bonds issued pursuant to a binding
contract requiring the issuance of bonds entered into before July 1, 2001, and bonds issued
to refund such bonds or to reimburse expenditures made in conjunction with a signed
contractual agreement entered into before August 1, 2001, to the extent that the bonds are
secured by a pledge of increments from the tax increment financing district; and

(2) binding contracts entered into before August 1, 2001, to the extent that the contracts
require payments secured by a pledge of increments from the tax increment financing district.

(d) The municipality may require a development authority, other than a seaway port
authority, to transfer available increments including amounts collected in prior years that
are currently available for any of its tax increment financing districts in the municipality to
make up an insufficiency in another district in the municipality, regardless of whether the
district was established by the development authority or another development authority.
This authority applies notwithstanding any law to the contrary, but applies only to a
development authority that:

(1) was established by the municipality; or

(2) the governing body of which is appointed, in whole or part, by the municipality or
an officer of the municipality or which consists, in whole or part, of members of the
governing body of the municipality. The municipality may use this authority only after it
has first used all available increments of the receiving development authority to eliminate
the insufficiency and exercised any permitted action under section 469.1792, subdivision
3, for preexisting districts of the receiving development authority to eliminate the
insufficiency.

(e) The authority under this subdivision to spend tax increments outside of the area of
the district from which the tax increments were collected:

(1) is an exception to the restrictions under section 469.176, subdivisions 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e,
4i, and 4j; the expenditure limits under section 469.176, subdivision 1c; and the other
provisions of this section; and the percentage restrictions under subdivision 2 must be
calculated after deducting increments spent under this subdivision from the total increments
for the district; and

(2) applies notwithstanding the provisions of the Tax Increment Financing Act in effect
for districts for which the request for certification was made before June 30, 1982, or any
other law to the contrary.

(f) If a preexisting obligation requires the development authority to pay an amount that
is limited to the increment from the district or a specific development within the district and
if the obligation requires paying a higher amount to the extent that increments are available,
the municipality may determine that the amount due under the preexisting obligation equals
the higher amount and may authorize the transfer of increments under this subdivision to
pay up to the higher amount. The existence of a guarantee of obligations by the individual
or entity that would receive the payment under this paragraph is disregarded in the
determination of eligibility to pool under this subdivision. The authority to transfer increments
under this paragraph may only be used to the extent that the payment of all other preexisting
obligations in the municipality due during the calendar year have been satisfied.

(g) For transfers of increments made in calendar year 2005 and later, the reduction in
increments as a result of the elimination of the general education tax levy for purposes of
paragraph (b), clause (2), for a taxes payable year equals the general education tax rate for
the school district under Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 273.1382, subdivision 1, for taxes
payable in 2001, multiplied by the captured tax capacity of the district for the current taxes
payable year.

pursuant to paragraph (b). The state auditor shall mail the written notice required by this
paragraph within five working days after receiving the last outstanding item. The county

11, tax increment being held by the county auditor pursuant to paragraph (b) is considered

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE POLICY AND TECHNICAL: PARTNERSHIP
TAXES

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 289A.08, subdivision 7a, is
amended to read:

Subd. 7a.

Pass-through entity tax.

(a) For the purposes of this subdivision, the following
terms have the meanings given:

(1) "income" has the meaning given in subdivision 7, paragraph (j), modified by the
addition provided in section 290.0131, subdivision 5, and the subtraction provided in section
290.0132, subdivision 3, except that the provisions that apply to a partnership apply to a
qualifying entity and the provisions that apply to a partner apply to a qualifying owner. The
income of both a resident and nonresident qualifying owner is allocated and assigned to
this state as provided for nonresident partners and shareholders under sections 290.17,
290.191, and 290.20;

(2) "qualifying entity" means a partnership, limited liability company new text begin taxed as a
partnership or S corporation new text end , or S corporation including a qualified subchapter S subsidiary
organized under section 1361(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualifying entity does
not include a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation that has a partnership,
limited liability company other than a disregarded entity, or corporation as a partner, member,
or shareholder; and

(3) "qualifying owner" means:

(i) a resident or nonresident individual or estate that is a partner, member, or shareholder
of a qualifying entity; or

(ii) a resident or nonresident trust that is a shareholder of a qualifying entity that is an
S corporation.

(b) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, in which the taxes of a
qualifying owner are limited under section 164(b)(6)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, a
qualifying entity may elect to file a return and pay the pass-through entity tax imposed under
paragraph (c). The election:

(1) must be made on or before the due date or extended due date of the qualifying entity's
pass-through entity tax return;

(2) may only be made by qualifying owners who collectively hold more than a 50 percent
ownership interest in the qualifying entity;

(3) is binding on all qualifying owners who have an ownership interest in the qualifying
entity; and

(4) once made is irrevocable for the taxable year.

(c) Subject to the election in paragraph (b), a pass-through entity tax is imposed on a
qualifying entity in an amount equal to the sum of the tax liability of each qualifying owner.

(d) The amount of a qualifying owner's tax liability under paragraph (c) is the amount
of the qualifying owner's income multiplied by the highest tax rate for individuals under
section 290.06, subdivision 2c. When making this determination:

(1) nonbusiness deductions, standard deductions, or personal exemptions are not allowed;
and

(2) a credit or deduction is allowed only to the extent allowed to the qualifying owner.

(e) The amount of each credit and deduction used to determine a qualifying owner's tax
liability under paragraph (d) must also be used to determine that qualifying owner's income
tax liability under chapter 290.

(f) This subdivision does not negate the requirement that a qualifying owner pay estimated
tax if the qualifying owner's tax liability would exceed the requirements set forth in section
289A.25. The qualifying owner's liability to pay estimated tax on the qualifying owner's
tax liability as determined under paragraph (d) is, however, satisfied when the qualifying
entity pays estimated tax in the manner prescribed in section 289A.25 for composite estimated
tax.

(g) A qualifying owner's adjusted basis in the interest in the qualifying entity, and the
treatment of distributions, is determined as if the election to pay the pass-through entity tax
under paragraph (b) is not made.

(h) To the extent not inconsistent with this subdivision, for purposes of this chapter, a
pass-through entity tax return must be treated as a composite return and a qualifying entity
filing a pass-through entity tax return must be treated as a partnership filing a composite
return.

(i) The provisions of subdivision 17 apply to the election to pay the pass-through entity
tax under this subdivision.

(j) If a nonresident qualifying owner of a qualifying entity making the election to file
and pay the tax under this subdivision has no other Minnesota source income, filing of the
pass-through entity tax return is a return for purposes of subdivision 1, provided that the
nonresident qualifying owner must not have any Minnesota source income other than the
income from the qualifying entity, other electing qualifying entities, and other partnerships
electing to file a composite return under subdivision 7. If it is determined that the nonresident
qualifying owner has other Minnesota source income, the inclusion of the income and tax
liability for that owner under this provision will not constitute a return to satisfy the
requirements of subdivision 1. The tax paid for the qualifying owner as part of the
pass-through entity tax return is allowed as a payment of the tax by the qualifying owner
on the date on which the pass-through entity tax return payment was made.

sales tax, must:

Subd. 13.

Property taxes payable.

"Property taxes payable" means the property tax
exclusive of special assessments, penalties, and interest payable on a claimant's homestead
after deductions made under sections 273.135, 273.1384, 273.1391, 273.42, subdivision 2,
and any other state paid property tax credits in any calendar year, and after any refund
claimed and allowable under section 290A.04, subdivision 2h, that is first payable in the
year that the property tax is payable. In the case of a claimant who makes ground lease
payments, "property taxes payable" includes the amount of the payments directly attributable
to the property taxes assessed against the parcel on which the house is located. Regardless
of the limitations in section 280A(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, "property taxes
payable" must be apportioned or reduced for the use of a portion of the claimant's homestead
for a business purpose if the claimant deducts any business depreciation expenses for the
use of a portion of the homestead or deducts expenses under section 280A of the Internal
Revenue Code for a business operated in the claimant's homestead. For homesteads which
are manufactured homes as defined in section 273.125, subdivision 8, including manufactured

in the preceding year for the site on which the homestead is located. When a homestead is
owned by two or more persons as joint tenants or tenants in common, such tenants shall
determine between them which tenant may claim the property taxes payable on the
homestead. If they are unable to agree, the matter shall be referred to the commissioner of
revenue whose decision shall be final. Property taxes are considered payable in the year
prescribed by law for payment of the taxes.

In the case of a claim relating to "property taxes payable," the claimant must have owned
and occupied the homestead on January 2 of the year in which the tax is payable and (i) the
property must have been classified as homestead property pursuant to section 273.124, on
or before December deleted text begin 15 deleted text end new text begin 31 new text end of the assessment year to which the "property taxes payable"
relate; or (ii) the claimant must provide documentation from the local assessor that application

which the "property taxes payable" were payable and that the assessor has approved the

or managing agents, shall develop an implementation and administration plan for the
requirements of this paragraph that attempts to minimize financial burdens, administration
and compliance costs, and takes into consideration existing systems of owners and managing
agents.

(c) For the purposes of this section, "owner" includes a park owner as defined under
section 327C.01, subdivision 6, and "property" includes a lot as defined under section
327C.01, subdivision 3.
