Form ETD Instructions
Promoter’s Responsibility
Withholding Requirements. Promoters and organizations who pay nonresident entertainers to perform in Minnesota must withhold 2% (.02)
of the entertainer’s gross compensation and deposit it with the department using Form ETD .
The deposit and Form ETD are due the last day of the month following the month of the performance.
Gross compensation includes reimbursements made to the entertainer for transportation, lodging and other expenses.
Exceptions. Promoters are not required to withhold the 2% (.02) nonresident entertainer tax from the compensation if any of these apply:
• The payments made to a nonresident public speaker are less than $2,000
• The payments made to a nonresident entertainer or entertainment entity are less than $600
• The payments made to a nonresident public speaker only for the speaker’s expenses
• The nonresident entertainer or entity is a resident of North Dakota or Michigan and the individual provided a properly completed Form
MWR, Reciprocity Exemption/Affidavit of Residency (see “Residents of Michigan and North Dakota” on this page)
Filing Requirements. Give a Form 1099-NEC to each entertainer you paid for performances in Minnesota and were federally required to pay.
When completing Form 1099-NEC, enter the total compensation paid to the entertainer in box 1 (nonemployee compensation). Write “MN”
in box 17 (state) and the amount of entertainer tax withheld in box 6.
At the end of the year, file Form ETA, Promoter’s Annual Reconciliation, and attach copies of all 1099s issued to entertainers during the year.
Form ETA and 1099s are due on or before January 31.
Residents of Michigan and North Dakota
Minnesota has income tax reciprocity agreements with Michigan and North Dakota.
Compensation paid to entertainers who are residents of Michigan or North Dakota is not subject to nonresident entertainer tax. However, the
promoter should withhold nonresident entertainer tax from the compensation unless they receive a properly completed Form MWR, Reci-
procity Exemption/Affidavit of Residency, from the entertainer.
