tax due from the taxpayer and a spouse, if any, under this chapter an amount equal to the
dependent care credit for which the taxpayer is eligible pursuant to the provisions of
section 21 of the Internal Revenue Code subject to the limitations provided in subdivision
2 except that in determining whether the child qualified as 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, and the provisions of section 32(b)(1)(D) of
the Internal Revenue Code do not apply.

(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 deemed to have paid employment-related expenses. If the child is 16 months old or
younger at the close of the taxable year, the amount of expenses deemed to have been paid
equals 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

year;

(2) files a joint tax return for the taxable year; and

(3) does not participate in a dependent care assistance program as defined in section
129 of the Internal Revenue Code, in lieu of the actual employment related expenses paid
for that child under paragraph (a) or the deemed amount under paragraph (b), the lesser of
(i) 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.

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
290.01, subdivision 19b, clause (9) deleted text begin or (15)deleted text end , 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.

subdivision 19b, clauses (10) and (11), are not considered "earned income not subject to
tax under this chapter."

For residents of Minnesota, the exclusion of combat pay under section 112 of the
Internal Revenue Code is not considered "earned income not subject to tax under this
chapter."

Sec. 13.

Minnesota Statutes 2011 Supplement, section 290.0671, subdivision 1,
is amended to read:

Subdivision 1.

Credit allowed.

(a) An individual is allowed a credit against the tax
imposed by this chapter equal to a percentage of earned income. To receive a credit, a
taxpayer must be eligible for a credit under section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(b) For individuals with no qualifying children, the credit equals 1.9125 percent of
the first $4,620 of earned income. The credit is reduced by 1.9125 percent of earned
income or adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in excess of $5,770, but in no
case is the credit less than zero.

(c) For individuals with one qualifying child, the credit equals 8.5 percent of the first
$6,920 of earned income and 8.5 percent of earned income over $12,080 but less than
$13,450. The credit is reduced by 5.73 percent of earned income or adjusted gross income,
whichever is greater, in excess of $15,080, but in no case is the credit less than zero.

(d) For individuals with two or more qualifying children, the credit equals ten
percent of the first $9,720 of earned income and 20 percent of earned income over
$14,860 but less than $16,800. The credit is reduced by 10.3 percent of earned income
or adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in excess of $17,890, but in no case is
the credit less than zero.

(e) For a nonresident or part-year resident, the credit must be allocated based on the
percentage calculated under section 290.06, subdivision 2c, paragraph (e).

(f) For a person who was a resident for the entire tax year and has earned income
not subject to tax under this chapter, including income excluded under section 290.01,
subdivision 19b, clause (9) deleted text begin or (15)deleted text end , the credit must be allocated based on the ratio of
federal adjusted gross income reduced by the earned income not subject to tax under
this chapter over federal adjusted gross income. For purposes of this paragraph, the
subtractions for military pay under section 290.01, subdivision 19b, clauses (10) and (11),
are not considered "earned income not subject to tax under this chapter."

For the purposes of this paragraph, the exclusion of combat pay under section 112
of the Internal Revenue Code is not considered "earned income not subject to tax under
this chapter."

(g) For tax years beginning after December 31, 2007, and before December 31,
2010, the $5,770 in paragraph (b), the $15,080 in paragraph (c), and the $17,890 in
paragraph (d), after being adjusted for inflation under subdivision 7, are each increased by
$3,000 for married taxpayers filing joint returns. For tax years beginning after December
31, 2008, the commissioner shall annually adjust the $3,000 by the percentage determined
pursuant to the provisions of section 1(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that in
section 1(f)(3)(B), the word "2007" shall be substituted for the word "1992." For 2009,

alternative minimum taxable income.

(3) The subtraction for depreciation allowed under section 290.01, subdivision 19d,
clause (17), is allowed as a depreciation deduction in determining alternative minimum
taxable income.

57(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, the deduction allowable for the taxable year is the
deduction allowed under section 290.01, subdivision 19e.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, the amount of any remaining
modification made under section 290.01, subdivision 19e, not previously deducted is a
depreciation or amortization allowance in the first taxable year after December 31, 2004.

(12) For purposes of calculating the adjustment for adjusted current earnings in
section 56(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, the term "alternative minimum taxable
income" as it is used in section 56(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, means alternative
minimum taxable income as defined in this subdivision, determined without regard to the
adjustment for adjusted current earnings in section 56(g) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(13) For purposes of determining the amount of adjusted current earnings under
section 56(g)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, no adjustment shall be made under section
56(g)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to (i) the amount of foreign dividend
gross-up subtracted as provided in section 290.01, subdivision 19d, clause (1), (ii) the
amount of refunds of income, excise, or franchise taxes subtracted as provided in section
290.01, subdivision 19d, clause (9), or (iii) the amount of royalties, fees or other like

Limitations; last eight months of duration.

Before agreeing with a business to provide tax reductions, the municipality must
submit the proposed tax reductions to the commissioner for approval. The commissioner
shall review and analyze the proposal in light of, at least: (1) the proposed investment that
the business will make in the zone, (2) the number and quality of new jobs that will be
created in the zone, (3) the overall positive impact on economic activity in the zone, and
(4) the extent to which the impacts in clauses (1) to (3) are dependent upon providing the
state tax reductions to the business. The commissioner shall disapprove the proposal if the
commissioner determines the public benefits of increased investment and employment
resulting from the tax reductions is disproportionately small relative to the cost of the
state tax reductions. If the commissioner disapproves of the proposal, the tax reductions
are not allowed to the business.

Sec. 37.

Minnesota Statutes 2010, 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)(i) the amount due during the calendar year to pay preexisting obligations of
the district; minus

(ii) 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

(iii) 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 deleted text begin (but
excluding a special tax under section 469.1791 and the grant program under Laws 1997,
chapter 231, article 1, section 19, or Laws 2001, First Special Session chapter 5)deleted text end ; or

(2) the reduction in increments collected from properties located in the district for
the calendar year as a result of the changes in class 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).

(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.

(b) This section, section 469.1763, subdivision 6, and any special law applying to
the district are the exclusive authority to spend tax increments on activities located outside
of the geographic area of a tax increment financing district that is subject to this section.

(1) the district was decertified before the enactment of this section and all increments
spent on activities located outside of the geographic area of the district were repaid and
distributed as excess increments under section 469.176, subdivision 2; or

(2) the use of increments on activities located outside of the geographic area of
the district consists solely of payment of debt service on bonds under section 469.129,

Sec. 39.

Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 469.177, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

Subdivision 1.

Original net tax capacity.

(a) Upon or after adoption of a tax
increment financing plan, the auditor of any county in which the district is situated shall,
upon request of the authority, certify the original net tax capacity of the tax increment
financing district and that portion of the district overlying any subdistrict as described in
the tax increment financing plan and shall certify in each year thereafter the amount by
which the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as a result of a change in tax
exempt status of property within the district and any subdistrict, reduction or enlargement
of the district or changes pursuant to subdivision 4. The auditor shall certify the amount
within 30 days after receipt of the request and sufficient information to identify the parcels
included in the district. The certification relates to the taxes payable year as provided in
subdivision 6.

(b) If the classification under section 273.13 of property located in a district changes
to a classification that has a different assessment ratio, the original net tax capacity of that
property must be redetermined at the time when its use is changed as if the property had
originally been classified in the same class in which it is classified after its use is changed.

(c) The amount to be added to the original net tax capacity of the district as a result
of previously tax exempt real property within the district becoming taxable equals the net
tax capacity of the real property as most recently assessed pursuant to section 273.18 or, if
that assessment was made more than one year prior to the date of title transfer rendering
the property taxable, the net tax capacity assessed by the assessor at the time of the
transfer. If improvements are made to tax exempt property after the municipality approves
the district and before the parcel becomes taxable, the assessor shall, at the request of
the authority, separately assess the estimated market value of the improvements. If the
property becomes taxable, the county auditor shall add to original net tax capacity, the net
tax capacity of the parcel, excluding the separately assessed improvements. If substantial
taxable improvements were made to a parcel after certification of the district and if the
property later becomes tax exempt, in whole or part, as a result of the authority acquiring
the property through foreclosure or exercise of remedies under a lease or other revenue
agreement or as a result of tax forfeiture, the amount to be added to the original net tax
capacity of the district as a result of the property again becoming taxable is the amount
of the parcel's value that was included in original net tax capacity when the parcel was
first certified. The amount to be added to the original net tax capacity of the district as a
result of enlargements equals the net tax capacity of the added real property as most
recently certified by the commissioner of revenue as of the date of modification of the tax
increment financing plan pursuant to section 469.175, subdivision 4.

(d) If the net tax capacity of a property increases because the property no longer
qualifies under the Minnesota Agricultural Property Tax Law, section 273.111; the
Minnesota Open Space Property Tax Law, section 273.112; or the Metropolitan
Agricultural Preserves Act, chapter 473H, new text begin the Rural Preserve Property Tax Program under

net tax capacity must be added to original net tax capacity if the original construction of
the affected home was completed before the date the assessor certified the original net
tax capacity of the district.

the tax increment financing district is reduced by reason of a court-ordered abatement,
stipulation agreement, voluntary abatement made by the assessor or auditor or by order
of the commissioner of revenue, the reduction shall be applied to the original net tax
capacity of the district when the property upon which the abatement is made has not been
improved since the date of certification of the district and to the captured net tax capacity
of the district in each year thereafter when the abatement relates to improvements made
after the date of certification. The county auditor may specify reasonable form and content
of the request for certification of the authority and any modification thereof pursuant to
section 469.175, subdivision 4.

(f) If a parcel of property contained a substandard building or improvements
described in section 469.174, subdivision 10, paragraph (e), that were demolished or
removed and if the authority elects to treat the parcel as occupied by a substandard
building under section 469.174, subdivision 10, paragraph (b), or by improvements under
section 469.174, subdivision 10, paragraph (e), the auditor shall certify the original net tax
capacity of the parcel using the greater of (1) the current net tax capacity of the parcel, or
(2) the estimated market value of the parcel for the year in which the building or other
improvements were demolished or removed, but applying the class rates for the current
year.

(g) For a redevelopment district qualifying under section 469.174, subdivision 10,
paragraph (a), clause (4), as a qualified disaster area, the auditor shall certify the value of
the land as the original tax capacity for any parcel in the district that contains a building
that suffered substantial damage as a result of the disaster or emergency.
