2023 Form M1X Instructions

Only use the 2023 Form M1X to amend your 2023 Form M1 .

Should I file Form M1X?
File this form if you need to correct (or amend) an original Minnesota Individual Income Tax return.  You will need the 2023 Individual Income 
Tax Instructions to complete this form.
Do not file Form M1X only to change either of the following:
•  Banking information
• Your filing status from Married filing jointly to Married filing separately after the due date (April 15, 2024, for most taxpayers)
Federal changes. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) changes or audits your federal income tax return, or you amend your federal return 
and it affects your Minnesota return, you have 180 days to file an amended Minnesota return. If you are filing Form M1X based on an IRS 
adjustment, check the box in the heading and enclose a complete copy of your federal Form 1040X or your IRS correction notice.
If the federal changes do not affect your Minnesota return, you have 180 days to send a letter of explanation to the Minnesota Department of 
Revenue. Send your letter and a complete copy of your federal Form 1040X or your IRS correction notice to: 
Minnesota Department of Revenue 
Mail Station 7703
600 N. Robert St.
St. Paul, MN 55146-7703
If you fail to report the federal changes as required, we will assess a 10 percent penalty on any additional tax, and we will have six more years 
to audit your return.
Net operating losses. Minnesota generally allows only a carryforward for losses. There is an exception to carryback farm-related losses to each 
of the two preceding years on federal Forms 1045 or 1040X. You will carry it back to the same year on Minnesota Form M1X. See the Schedule 
M1NC instructions for further information regarding net operating losses.

What may be affected if I am reporting a change to my income?
Common items affected by reported changes to income include:
• Refundable credits such as the Child and Dependent Care Credit, K-12 Education Credit, Minnesota Child and Working Family Credit, and 
  Credit for Taxes Paid to Wisconsin (see Schedules M1CD, M1ED, M1CWFC, M1RCR)
• Nonrefundable credits 
• Property Tax Refund (see Forms M1PR and M1PRX)
• Alternative Minimum Tax (see Schedule M1MT)
Other items on your tax return may be affected.  Include a copy of all schedules that change.

Can I file for another taxpayer?
If you are filing Form M1X for another taxpayer, enclose a copy of the court appointment authorizing you to represent the taxpayer.
If you are claiming a refund on behalf of a deceased person, enclose a copy of the court appointment authorizing you to represent the deceased 
person. Also, enclose Form M23, Claim for a Refund For a Deceased Taxpayer.

How long do I have to file?
To claim a refund, you must file Form M1X within 3½ years of the original due date for the year you are amending. Other deadlines may apply 
if either of the following are true:
•   Your federal return has been changed since you originally filed.
•  We have assessed you additional income tax within the last year.
If either of the situations apply to the year being amended and you need more information, contact us.
If you owe additional tax, you must file Form M1X within 3½ years of the original due date or the date you filed the return, whichever is later. 
If the tax and interest is not fully paid when you file Form M1X, we will assess a late payment penalty and additional interest on your first bill.

Married Filing Separate Returns
Do not include your spouse’s name, date of birth, or Social Security number if you are filing separate returns. 
You may not change your filing status from Married filing jointly to Married filing separately after the due date for the original Form M1.

Column A, Lines 1–22
Enter the amounts from the appropriate lines of your original 2023 return. However, if we changed your original Form M1 or if you have filed 
an amended return prior to this one, enter the corrected amounts. If you received a notice of change or an audit report from us which changed 
amounts on your original return, use the amounts as shown in that notice or audit report.

                                                                                                                                     Continued

If you are not making a change to a given line, leave column B blank.
If the changes you are making affect the amounts reported on a schedule, complete and enclose a corrected schedule. 
Briefly explain each change in the space on the back of Form M1X and enclose any related schedules or forms.

Column C, Lines 1–22
Do one of the following for each line, whichever applies.
• Add the increase in column B to column A.
• Subtract the column B decrease from column A.
• Enter the column A amount in column C if there is no change to column B.

Line Instructions
Line 1—Federal Adjusted Gross Income
In column A, enter the amount from line 1 of your original 2023 Form M1. If we or the IRS previously adjusted your federal adjusted gross 
income, enter the corrected amount.
Line 4—Total Subtractions
If you are changing your total subtractions, you must enclose a list of the corrected subtractions you reported on lines 5–7 of Form M1 and a 
corrected Schedule M1M and Schedule M1MB.
Changes to your total subtractions may also affect the alternative minimum tax you may be required to pay.
Line 6—Tax From the Table
If the taxable income on line 5C has changed, you must look up the corrected tax using the tables in the 2023 Form M1 instructions. Enter the 
correct tax amount on line 6C and the difference between lines 6A and 6C on line 6B.
Lines 9a–9b—Part-Year Residents and Nonresidents

Reduce the total by any amounts that were paid for:

The penalty for underpayment of estimated tax is based on the original tax liability. Subsequent changes to the tax do not affect the penalty.

• Amount from line 24 of your original Form M1.

debt to a state or county agency, or donated to the Nongame Wildlife Fund. 
Do not include any interest that may have been included in the refunds you received.
Lines 27 and 29
Lines 27 and 29 should reflect the changes to your tax, credits, or both, as reported in column B on lines 1-22 of Form M1X. If you have 
unpaid taxes on your original Form M1, Form M1X will not show your corrected balance due.                                        Continued

Line 27
This refund cannot be applied to your estimated tax account. If you have a refund, skip lines 29 through 33.
If you owe federal or Minnesota taxes, criminal fines or a debt to a state or county agency, district court, qualifying hospital, or public library, 
we must apply your refund to the amount you owe (including penalty and interest on the taxes). Also, if you participate in the Senior Citizens 
Property Tax Deferral Program, we will apply your refund to your deferred property tax total. Your Social Security number will be used to 
identify you as the correct debtor.
If your debt is less than your refund, you will receive the difference.

The routing number must have nine digits.
The account number may contain up to 17 digits (both numbers and letters). Leave out any hyphens, spaces, and symbols.
If the routing or account number is incorrect or is not accepted by your financial institution, we will send your refund by paper check.
By completing line 28, you are authorizing us and your financial institution to initiate electronic credit entries, and if necessary, debit entries 
and adjustments for any credits made in error.
Line 29

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 30.
Line 30
If only one of the penalties below applies, you must multiply line 29 by 10 percent (.10). If both penalties apply, multiply line 29 by 20 percent 
(.20).  Enter the result on line 30.

of Attorney with us.

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.
