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 you have unpaid taxes on your original Form M4, Form M4X is not intended to show your corrected balance due.
