If you are claiming registration tax for a vehicle registered in Minnesota, you may deduct part of your Minnesota vehicle license fee as 
personal property tax for passenger automobiles, pick-up trucks, and vans. You may not deduct other amounts, such as the plate fee and filing 
fee.
Calculate the allowed deduction by subtracting $35 from your vehicle’s registration tax for each vehicle you register. To find the registration 
tax:
• Go to drive.mn.gov and select More Vehicle Services. Select Search for Registration Tax Paid and enter your vehicle information
• Look at the vehicle registration renewal form issued by Driver and Vehicle Services
Line 9 — Other Taxes
If you had any deductible tax not listed on lines 5 or 6, list the type and amount of tax. Include income tax you paid to a foreign country or 
U.S. possession. You cannot claim a deduction for foreign taxes if you included those taxes on federal Form 1116.

Lines 11 through 13 — Interest You Paid
The rules for deducting interest vary, depending on whether you used the loan proceeds for business, personal, or investment activities. See 
IRS Publication 535 for more information about deducting business interest expenses. See IRS Publication 550 for more information about 
deducting investment interest expenses. You cannot deduct personal interest. 
If you use the proceeds of a loan for more than one purpose (for example, personal and business), you must allocate the interest on the loan 
to each use. Do not allocate home mortgage interest if it is fully deductible, regardless of how you used the funds. 
You allocate interest (other than fully deductible home mortgage interest on a loan) in the same way as the loan is allocated. Trace 
disbursements of the debt proceeds to specific uses. For more information on allocating interest, see IRS Publication 535. 
Generally, if you paid interest in 2024 that applies to any period after 2024, you can deduct only amounts that apply for 2024.
Line 11 — Home Mortgage Interest Reported on Federal Form 1098
If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 8a. Do not include any home equity loan interest that was included on line 
8a. If you meet the exception to the federal limitation for a loan taken out after December 15, 2017, but before April 1, 2018, follow the 
instructions for limits on loans taken out on or after December 16, 2017, on Schedule M1SA.
Enter on line 11 mortgage interest and points reported to you on federal Form 1098.
A home mortgage is any loan secured by your main home or second home. It includes first and second mortgages and refinanced 
mortgages. A home can be a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, boat, or similar property. The home must provide basic living 
accommodations, including a sleeping space, a toilet, and cooking facilities. 
Limit on loans taken out before December 16, 2017. For qualifying debt taken out before December 16, 2017, you can only deduct 
mortgage interest on up to $1,000,000 ($500,000 if you are married and file a separate return) of that debt. The only exception is for loans 
taken out on or before October 13, 1987. See IRS Publication 936 if you took out the loan on or before October 13, 1987.
Limit on loans taken out on or after December 16, 2017. For qualifying debt taken out on or after December 16, 2017, you can only 
deduct home mortgage interest on up to $750,000 ($375,000 if you are married and file a separate return) of that debt. If you also have 
qualifying debt subject to the $1,000,000 limitation discussed under the previous paragraph, the $750,000 limit for debt taken out on or after 
December 16, 2017, is reduced by the amount of your qualifying debt subject to the $1,000,000 limit. 
Refund of overpaid interest.  If your Form 1098 shows any refund of overpaid interest, do not reduce your deduction by the refund. 
Interest reported on someone else’s Form 1098.  If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse, if filing jointly) were liable 
for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the interest was reported on the other person’s Form 1098, report your share of the interest on line 
12 of Schedule M1SA. (See IRS Publication 936 to calculate your mortgage interest deduction.)
Form 1098 does not show all interest paid. If you paid more interest to the recipient than is shown on Form 1098, show the larger 
deductible amount on line 11 and explain the difference. If you are filing a paper return, explain the difference by attaching a statement to 
your paper return and printing “See attached” to the right of line 11.
Line 12 — Home Mortgage Interest not reported on federal Form 1098
If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 8b.
If you paid mortgage interest to a recipient who did not provide you a Form 1098, report your deductible mortgage interest on line 12.
Seller financed mortgage.  If you paid home mortgage interest to the person from whom you bought the home and that person did not 
provide you a Form 1098, write that person’s name, identifying number, and address on the line next to line 12. If the recipient of your home 
mortgage payment is an individual, the identifying number is their Social Security Number (SSN). Otherwise, it is their Federal Employer 
Identification Number (FEIN). You must also let the recipient know your SSN.
Interest reported on someone else’s Form 1098. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable 
for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the home mortgage interest paid was reported on the other person’s Form 1098, identify the name 
and address of the person or persons who received a Form 1098 reporting the interest you paid. If you are filing a paper return, identify the 
person by attaching a statement to your paper return and printing “See attached” to the right of line 12.
Points not reported on Form 1098. Points are shown on your settlement statement. Points you paid only to borrow money are generally 
deductible over the life of the loan. See IRS Publication 936 to figure the amount you can deduct. You may not deduct points paid for other 
purposes, such as for a lender’s services.

                                                                                                                                     Continued

Refinancing. Generally, you must deduct points you paid to refinance a mortgage over the life of the loan. This is true even if the new 
mortgage is secured by your main home. 
If you used part of the proceeds to improve your main home, you may be able to deduct the part of the points related to the improvement in the 
year paid. See IRS Publication 936 for details.
Line 13 — Investment Interest
If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 9.
Investment interest is interest paid on money you borrowed that is allocable to property held for investment. It does not include any interest 
allocable to passive activities or to securities generating tax-exempt income. 
Complete and attach a 2024 federal Form 4952 for Minnesota purposes to figure your deduction unless all of these apply: 
• Your investment interest expense is less than your investment income from interest and ordinary dividends minus any qualified dividends 
• You have no other deductible investment expenses
• You have no disallowed investment interest expense from 2023
Lines 15 through 17 — Charitable Contributions
You can deduct contributions you gave to organizations that are religious, charitable, educational, scientific, or literary in purpose. You can 
also deduct what you gave to organizations that work to prevent cruelty to children or animals. See IRS Publication 526 for details. 
To verify an organization’s charitable status: 
• Check with the organization you donated to; the organization should be able to verify its charitable status
• Use the online search tool at https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/tax-exempt-organization-search to see if an organization is eligible to 
  receive tax-deductible contributions
Examples of Qualified Charitable Organizations 
This list gives some examples of qualified organizations. See IRS Publication 526 for more examples. 
• Churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and other religious organizations
• Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, CARE, Girl Scouts, Goodwill Industries, Red Cross, Salvation Army, and United Way 
• Fraternal orders, if the contributions will be used for the purposes listed under Charitable Contributions 
• Veterans’ and certain cultural groups 
• Nonprofit hospitals and medical research organizations 
• Most nonprofit educational organizations, such as colleges, but only if your contribution is not a substitute for tuition or other enrollment 
  fees
• Federal, state, and local governments, if the contributions are solely for public purposes 
Limits 
The amount you can deduct for charitable contributions is generally limited to no more than 60% of your Minnesota adjusted gross income 
(AGI). Your deduction may be further limited to 50, 30, or 20% of your Minnesota AGI, depending on the type of property you give and the 
type of organization you give it to.  
Your Minnesota AGI is line 1 of Form M1. See IRS Publication 526 for more information about first and second category qualified organiza-
tions.  
Limits based on 60% of Minnesota adjusted gross income 
If you make cash contributions during the year to an organization which is a first category qualified organization, your deduction for cash 
contributions is 60% of your AGI. This 60% limit does not apply to noncash charitable contributions.  
Limits based on 50%, 30%, and 20% of Minnesota adjusted gross income 
Minnesota follows the IRS guidance for contributions that are subject to these limitations. See IRS Publication 526 for more information about 
contributions under these limitations. 
Amounts You Can Deduct 
Contributions can be in cash, property, or out-of-pocket expenses you paid to do volunteer work for the kinds of organizations described 
earlier. If you drove to and from the volunteer work, you can take the actual cost of gas and oil or 14 cents a mile. Add parking and tolls to the 
amount you claim under either method. Do not deduct any amounts repaid to you. If you included volunteer mileage reimbursements in your 
adjusted gross income and the reimbursements exceeded 14 cents per mile, see line 24 of Schedule M1M.
Contributions from which you benefit
If you made a contribution and received a benefit in return, such as food, entertainment, or merchandise, you can generally only deduct the 
amount that is more than the value of the benefit. This rule does not apply to certain membership benefits provided in return for an annual pay-
ment of $75 or less or to certain items or benefits of token value. For details, see IRS Publication 526.
Minnesota follows the IRS guidance for contributions that are subject to these limitations. See IRS Publication 526 for more information about 
contributions under these limitations.

                                                                                                                                     Continued

Contributions of $250 or more
You can deduct a contribution of $250 or more only if you have a statement from the charitable organization showing:
• The amount of any money contributed and a description (but not value) of any property donated 
• Whether the organization did or did not give you any goods or services in return for your contribution. If you did receive any goods or 
  services, they must include a description and estimate of the value. If you received only intangible religious benefits (such as admission to a 
  religious ceremony), the organization must state this, but it does not have to describe or value the benefit
In figuring whether a donation is $250 or more, do not combine separate donations. For example, if you gave your church $25 each week for 
a total of $1,300, treat each $25 payment as a separate donation. If you made donations through payroll deductions, treat each deduction from 
each paycheck as a separate donation. See IRS Publication 526 if you made a separate donation of $250 or more through payroll deduction.
Amounts you cannot deduct
•  Travel expenses (including meals and lodging) while away from home performing donated services, unless there was no significant element 
  of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in the travel
•  Political contributions
•  Dues, fees, or bills paid to country clubs, lodges, fraternal orders, or similar groups
•  Cost of raffle, bingo, or lottery tickets
•  Value of your time or services
•  Value of blood given to a blood bank
•  The transfer of a future interest in tangible personal property. Generally, no deduction is allowed until the entire interest has been transferred
•  Donations to individuals and groups that are operated for personal profit
•  Donations to foreign organizations. However, you may be able to deduct donations to certain U.S. organizations that transfer funds to foreign 
  charities and certain Canadian, Israeli, and Mexican charities. See IRS Publication 526 for details.
•  Donations to organizations engaged in certain political activities that are of direct financial interest to your trade or business 
•  Donations to groups whose purpose is to lobby for changes in the laws
•  Donations to civic leagues, social and sports clubs, labor unions, and chambers of commerce
•  Value of benefits received in connection with a contribution to a charitable organization. See IRS Publication 526 for exceptions
•  Cost of tuition 
Line 15 — Charitable Contributions by Cash or Check
If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 11. Do not include amounts that exceed 60% of line 1 of Form M1.
If you filed federal Form 1040-NR, enter the amount from line 2 of Schedule A. Do not include amounts that exceed 60% of line 1 of Form M1.
Enter on line 15 the total value of donations you made in cash or by check (including out-of-pocket expenses). 
Recordkeeping. Keep bank records of contributions (such as a canceled check or credit card statement or written records from the charity), 
regardless of your amounts contributed. The written record must include the name of the charity, date, and amount of the contribution. If you 
made contributions through payroll deduction, see IRS Publication 526. Do not attach the record to your tax return. 
Line 16 — Other Than by Cash or Check
If you filed federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 12. 
If you filed federal Form 1040-NR, enter the amount from line 3 of Schedule A.
Enter the total value of your contributions of property other than by cash or check. If you gave used items, such as clothing or furniture, deduct 
their fair market value at the time you gave them. Fair market value is what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller when neither has to buy 
or sell and both are aware of the conditions of the sale. For more details on determining the value of donated property, see IRS Publication 561. 
Deduction more than $500. If the amount of your deduction is more than $500, you must complete and attach a statement identifying the date 
of contribution, name of the charitable organization, description of the property, and the fair market value. 
Deduction more than $5,000. If your total deduction is over $5,000 ($500 for certain contributions of clothing and household items), you may 
also have to get appraisals of the values of the donated property. See federal Form 8283 and its instructions for details.
Contribution of motor vehicle, boat, or airplane. If you deduct more than $500 for a contribution of a motor vehicle, boat, or airplane, you 
must also attach a statement from the charitable organization to your paper return. The organization may use Form 1098-C to provide the 
required information. 
Recordkeeping. If you gave property, you should keep a receipt or written statement from the organization you gave the property to, or a 
reliable written record that shows the organization’s name and address, the date and location of the gift, and a description of the property. For 
each gift of property, you should also keep reliable written records that include: 
•  How you figured the property’s value at the time you gave it. If the value was determined by an appraisal, keep a signed copy of the appraisal 
•  The cost or other basis of the property if you must reduce it by any ordinary income or capital gain that would have resulted if the property 
  had been sold at its fair market value 
•  How you figured your deduction if you chose to reduce your deduction for donations of capital gain property 
•  Any conditions attached to the donation
                                                                                                                                      Continued

Line 17 — Carryover from Prior Year
If you have contributions you could not deduct in an earlier year because they exceeded the limits on the amount you could deduct, you 
generally have five years to use those contributions. The same limits apply this year to your carryover amounts as applied to those amounts in 
the earlier year. After applying those limits, enter the amount of your carryover you are allowed to deduct this year. See IRS Publication 526.
Line 19 — Casualty and Theft Losses
If you had a casualty or theft loss during 2024, see Schedule M1CAT, Casualty and Theft, for more information. If you filed federal Schedule A 
and entered an amount on line 15, complete a Schedule M1CAT for that casualty. If you filed federal Form 1040-NR and entered an amount on 
line 6 of Schedule A, complete Schedule M1CAT for that casualty or theft loss.
You may be able to deduct part or all of each loss caused by any of these:
• Theft, vandalism, fire, storm, or similar causes
• Car, boat, and other accidents
• Corrosive dry-wall
• Money you had in a financial institution but lost because of the institution’s insolvency or bankruptcy
You can deduct personal casualty or theft losses only to the extent that: 
• The amount of each separate casualty or theft loss is more than $100
• The total amount of all losses during the year reduced by $100 is more than 10% of the amount on line 1 of Form M1 
Corrosive drywall losses. If you paid for repairs to your personal residence or household appliances because of corrosive drywall, you may be 
able to deduct on line 19 those amounts paid. See IRS Publication 547 for details. 
Line 20 — Unreimbursed Employee Expenses
Complete and enclose Schedule M1UE, Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses. If you are married, filing a joint return, and both you and 
your spouse claim deductions for unreimbursed employee expenses, each spouse must complete a separate Schedule M1UE with their own 
expense and reimbursement amounts.
Enter the total ordinary and necessary job expenses you paid for which you were not reimbursed. 
An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your field of trade, business, or profession. A necessary expense is one that 
is helpful and appropriate for your business. An expense does not have to be required to be considered necessary. If you do not claim 
reimbursement that you are entitled to receive from your employer, you cannot deduct the expenses that apply to unclaimed reimbursement. See 
IRS Publication 970 for more information. 
You must complete Schedule M1UE if either of these apply: 
• You claim any travel, transportation, meal, or entertainment expenses for your job 
• Your employer reimbursed you for any of your job expenses that you would otherwise report on line 20
Do not include educator expenses you deducted on line 11 of federal Schedule 1.
Examples of other expenses to include on Schedule M1UE are: 
•  Safety equipment, small tools, and supplies needed for your job 
•  Uniforms required by your employer that are not suitable for ordinary wear

filing a paper return and you cannot fit all your expenses on the line next to line 24, attach a statement instead showing the type and amount of 
each expense. If you filed federal Schedule A, you may have reported these deductions on line 16. If you filed federal Form 1040-NR, you may 
qualify for only certain deductions from the following list which you may have deducted on line 7 of Form 1040-NR, Schedule A.
