2023 Schedule M1529 Instructions

Am I eligible?
You may be eligible for the credit or subtraction if you contributed to a qualified education savings account, regardless of the owner or 
beneficiary.  
If you are a part-year resident, you will determine your credit based on your percentage of income allocated to Minnesota on Schedule 
M1NR, Nonresidents/Part-Year Residents.
You do not qualify for the credit if you are a nonresident or are eligible to be claimed as a dependent.

What is a qualified education savings account?
A qualified education savings account is any state-sponsored section 529 savings plan, including prepaid tuition plans.

What is a qualified expense?
A qualified expense for a section 529 savings plan is a cost required to attend a post-secondary educational institution. Qualified expenses 
do not include amounts paid for K-12 education expenses.
If you used a distribution from a 529 savings plan for K-12 education tuition, you must include the lesser of distributions or the earnings 
reported on federal Form 1099-Q from the savings plan on line 13 of Schedule M1M.

Can I claim both the credit and subtraction?
No. You may claim either the credit or the subtraction. You cannot claim both.

Is it better to take the credit or subtraction?
It depends on your Minnesota residency, filing status, and income.  
Full and part-year residents:  If your Federal Adjusted Gross Income (FAGI) is $88,810 or less, the credit will generally provide a 
greater benefit to you. If your FAGI is more than $88,810 but less than the $113,810 ($184,860 if you are married and filing a joint return), 
complete the Worksheet for Line 5.  
If your filing status is Married Filing Jointly and your FAGI is more than $184,860 ($113,810 for all other filing statuses), you are not 
eligible for the credit. You may be eligible for the subtraction.
Nonresidents or individuals eligible to be claimed as a dependent: You are not eligible for the credit. You may be eligible for the sub-
traction. 
Do I need proof of my contributions?
Yes. Save canceled checks and keep a detailed record of your contributions (such as brokerage and account statements). We may ask you to 
show these records if we have questions.
If you claim the credit or subtraction, maintain a record of the amounts claimed while any education savings account is open.
