2023 Form M4X Instructions

For additional information, refer to the 2023 M4 forms and instructions.

Federal Return Adjustments
If you amend your federal tax return or if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) makes an adjustment to your federal return, you must notify us 
within 180 days. Failure to report federal changes on an amended return, Form M4X, within 180 days will result in a penalty of 10% of any 
additional tax due. See line 36 instructions.
Attach a copy of your amended federal return or notice of adjustment to your Form M4X. 

Refunds
Use the 2023 Form M4X to make a claim for refund and report changes to your Minnesota liability for tax year 2023. If you make a claim for 
a refund and we do not act on it within six months of the date filed, you may bring an action in the district or tax court. 

When to File
File Form M4X only after you have filed your original return. You may file Form M4X within 3½ years after the return was due or within one 
year from the date of an order assessing tax, whichever is later. If you filed your original return under an extension by the extended due date, 
you have up to 3½ years from the extended due date to file the amended return, Form M4X. 

Filing Reminders
The amended return must be signed by a person authorized by the corporation.
If you pay someone to prepare your return, the preparer must sign and enter his or her PTIN number and direct phone.
Rounding is required. You must round amounts to the nearest dollar. Drop any amount less than 50 cents and increase any amount that is 50 
cents or more to the next higher dollar.

Completing the Form
Enter your tax year beginning and ending dates at the top of the form. On page 3 of Form M4X, include a detailed explanation of why the 
original return was incorrect. Providing this information will help us to verify the amended amounts. Do not staple or tape any enclosures to 
your return.
Estimated payments and refunds credited to subsequent years cannot be amended.

appropriate schedule.
Lines 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, and 25. Changes to your regular franchise tax on line 11 and/or alternative minimum tax on line 12 may also 
affect the amount you are able to claim of any credits against tax (alternative minimum tax credit, research credit, film production tax credit, 
tax credit for owners of agricultural assets, and employer transit pass credit).
Line 31
Minnesota requires backup withholding to be made when the payee is subject to federal backup withholding on reportable payments made for 
personal services. (IRC section 3406). Corporations are not subject to backup withholding for certain types of payments, including: 
•  interest and dividends
•  broker transactions
•  royalty payments 
The Minnesota backup withholding is equal to the payment multiplied by the highest Minnesota tax rate for corporations. Report the 
taxpayer’s backup withholding on line 31 of Form M4X. 
Include a copy of the federal Form 1120X, Form 1120, Form 1099, Schedule KPI, Schedule KS or other documentation showing the amount 
withheld. If the documentation is not included with your Form M4X, the department will disallow the amount and assess the tax or reduce 
your refund.
Line 33 
Enter the total of the following tax amounts, whether or not paid:
•  amount from line 11 of your original M4
•  amount due of a previously filed Form M4X
•  additional tax due as the result of an audit or notice of change
Do not include any amounts that were paid for penalty, interest or underpayment of estimated tax. 
Line 35
Enter the total of the following refund amounts:
•  overpayment from line 16 of your original M4, even if you have not yet received it
•  refund amount of a previously filed Form M4X
•  refund or reduction in tax from a protest or other type of audit adjustment
Include any amount that was credited to estimated tax, applied to pay past due taxes or donated to the Minnesota Nongame Wildlife Fund.
Do not include any interest that may have been included in the refunds you received. 
Lines 38 and 43
Lines 38 and 43 should reflect the changes to your tax and/or credits as reported on lines 1 through 30 of Form M4X. If you have unpaid 
taxes on your original Form M4, Form M4X is not intended to show your corrected balance due. 
Line 38
If line 38 is a negative amount, treat it as a positive amount and add it to line 37. Enter the result on line 38. This is the amount you owe, 
which is due when you file your amended return. You cannot use any funds in your estimated tax account to pay this amount. Continue with 
line 39.

                                                                                                  Continued                                      2

2023 Form M4X Instructions (Continued)

Line 39
If only one of the penalties below applies, you must multiply line 38 by 10% (0.1). If both penalties apply, multiply line 38 by 20% (0.2). Enter 
the result on line 39.
•  The IRS assessed a penalty for negligence or disregard of rules or regulations
•  You failed to report federal changes to the department within 180 days as required
Line 41
Interest is calculated as simple interest and accrues on unpaid tax and penalties from the regular due date until it is paid in full. Use the 
formula below with the appropriate interest rate: 
   Interest = line 40 x number of days past the due date x interest rate ÷ 365
The interest rate is determined each October for the following calendar year. The rate for 2024 is X%. Rates for years after 2024 will be 
available on our website.
If the days fall in more than one calendar year, you must determine the number of days separately for each year. 
Penalty will be assessed if the additional tax and interest are not paid with the amended return.
Line 42
If your estimated tax payments during the last 12-month period ending June 30 totaled $10,000 or more, you are required to make all tax 
payments electronically starting January 1 of the following year. Once you meet the electronic payment threshold, you are required to pay 
electronically for all future periods.
You must also pay electronically if you’re required to pay any Minnesota business tax electronically, such as sales or withholding tax. If you 
are required to pay electronically and do not, an additional 5% penalty applies to payments not made electronically, even if a paper check is sent on 
time.

Preparer Information
If you pay someone to prepare your return, the preparer must sign the return and enter their PTIN number and phone number.
Check the box to authorize the department to discuss this return with the preparer. This authority allows us to discuss with your preparer 
these items from this return: line item details; tax due on original and adjustments made during processing; penalty or interest due; documents 
received or sent like a tax order or bill; and dates and amounts of payments, credits, or refunds. The authority also allows your preparer to 
cancel direct deposit or debit payments and submit an abatement request.
The authority granted by a marked return checkbox is valid for one year after the due date for current original returns, or one year from the 
date the form was submitted for amended and noncurrent original returns.
Checking the box does not give your preparer the authority to sign any tax documents on your behalf, represent you at any audit or appeals 
conference, or discuss abatement progress. For these types of authorities, you must file Form REV184b, Business Power of Attorney, with the 
department.
