2023 Schedule M1CR Instructions

Am I eligible?
You may be eligible for the credit for income tax paid to another state if all of these are true:
•  You were domiciled in Minnesota for all or part of 2023
•  You paid 2023 income tax to Minnesota and to another state on the same income
 You filed an income tax return with the other state. This may include a corporate entity paying taxes on your behalf. If an entity paid taxes 
   on your behalf, include the entity level return showing the other state’s tax liability
•  You were a Minnesota resident when you received the income taxed by the other state
A Canadian province or territory and the District of Columbia are considered states for purposes of this credit.
Include: Any income taxes paid to another state by an S corporation or a partnership that you included on line 2 of Schedule M1MB, Busi-
ness Income Additions and Subtractions.
Do not include: Taxes paid to: 
 Wisconsin (file Schedule M1RCR, Credit for Tax Paid to Wisconsin)
•  A local unit of government (such as a city, county, or school district)
•  A national government, including Canada or a possession of the United States
•  A Canadian province or territory if you used the tax to claim a federal foreign tax credit (see the line 6 instructions for details)
Part-Year Residents
To be eligible, you must have been a Minnesota resident when you received the income taxed by both states. You must also file an income 
tax return with the other state. 
Exception: You may be eligible for this credit if all of these are true:
•  You were a permanent resident of another state
 You are required to file a Minnesota income tax return as a resident under the 183-day rule
•  You paid 2023 state income tax on the same income to Minnesota and your state of permanent residence 
You must get a statement from the other state’s tax department stating you are not eligible to receive a credit on that state’s return for income 
tax paid to Minnesota. Include the statement and Schedule M1CR with your Form M1, Individual Income Tax.
Minnesota Residents Paying Income Tax to Wisconsin
Do not use Schedule M1CR. Use Schedule M1RCR to determine whether you qualify for a nonrefundable credit. 
Minnesota Residents Working in Michigan or North Dakota
Do not use Schedule M1CR if both of these apply:
•  You received personal service income (wages, salaries, tips, commissions, and bonuses) from working in Michigan or North Dakota
•  You had 2023 Michigan or North Dakota income tax withheld from that income
To get a refund of the tax withheld while you were a Minnesota resident, file an income tax return with the appropriate state.
If you paid 2023 income tax to one of those states on income other than from personal service income—such as income from rental prop-
erty—you may be eligible for this credit. Complete Schedule M1CR.

What if I paid income taxes to more than one other state?
1.  Complete a separate Schedule M1CR for each state
2.  Add the amounts from line 7 or line 11, whichever applies, from each Schedule M1CR and Schedule M1RCR
3.  Enter the result from step 2 on line 3 of Schedule M1C
Is there a penalty for fraudulently claiming a credit? 
Yes. If you file a return that fraudulently claims a credit that results in a refund, we will assess a penalty equal to 50% of the portion of the re-
fund attributable to fraud. If a fraudulently claimed credit reduced your tax liability, we will also assess a penalty equal to 50% of the unpaid 
tax.

                                                                                                                                       Continued
