Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits are offered for completing some classes. Note: Updates may occur after this booklet is published that could affect your Minnesota withholding taxes for 2023. Check our website periodically for updates. 2 What’s New Interest Rate The 2023 interest rate is 5% (.05). Requirement to Withhold on Annuity and Pension Distributions Minnesota Statute 290.92, subdivision 20, was amended by 2021 Minnesota tax law to require that a financial institution withhold Minnesota income tax on any periodic payment or non-periodic distribution for Minnesota residents, unless the resident requests that the financial institution not withhold. Form W-4MN, Minnesota Withholding Allowance/Exemption Certificate Beginning in 2020, federal Form W-4 will not compute allowances previously used to determine Minnesota withholding tax. Every employee that completes Form W-4 must complete Form W-4MN. If the employee does not complete a Form W-4MN, you must withhold tax at the single filing status with zero allowances. Form W-4MN is used so you can withhold the correct Minnesota income tax from the pay of your employees. Form W-4MNP, Minnesota Withholding Certificate for Pension or Annuity Payments Form W4-MNP is used so a financial institution making distributions can withhold the correct Minnesota income tax from income. If recipients do not want income tax withheld from their distributions, they can elect to not have tax withheld by completing section 2 of Form W-4MNP. Updates to Electronic Form W-2 and 1099 Submissions The Minnesota Department of Revenue has made changes to submitting federal Forms W-2 and 1099 electronically through our e-Services system. These changes affect customers sending this information through either the Manual method or Simple File method. For details about these changes, see Withholding Tax Fact Sheets 2 and 2a on our website at www.revenue.state.mn.us. Register for a Minnesota Tax ID Number You must register to file withholding tax if any of these apply: • You have employees and anticipate withholding tax from their wages in the next 30 days • You agree to withhold Minnesota taxes when you are not required to withhold • You pay nonresident employees to do work for you in Minnesota (see “Exceptions” on page 4) • You make mining and exploration royalty payments on which you are required to withhold Minnesota taxes • You are a corporation with corporate officers performing services in Minnesota who will have withholding from their wages • You are a financial institution distributing any periodic or non-periodic payments to Minnesota residents If you do not register before you start withholding tax, we may assess a $100 penalty. To register for a Minnesota Tax ID Number, go to our website or contact Business Registration (see page 2). Note: If your business currently has a Minnesota ID Number for other Minnesota taxes, you can add a withholding tax account to your ID number. To update your business information, log in to our e-Services system or contact Business Registration (see page 2). Employers Using Payroll Services If you contract with a payroll service company, you are responsible for ensuring they file your returns and make your payments on time. We must notify you of any underpayment on your withholding account. If you receive a notice, work with your payroll service company to decide which of you will contact us to correct your account. Payroll service companies (also known as third-party bulk filers) must register with us and give us a list of clients for whom they provide tax services. They are required to send us any tax they collect from clients electronically. For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 5, Third-Party Bulk Filers. Third-Party Bulk Filers - Payroll Service Providers A third-party bulk filer—also known as a payroll service provider—is a person or company who has custody or control over another employer’s funds for the purpose of filing returns and depositing tax withheld. Register for a Minnesota Tax ID Number As a third-party bulk filer, you and each of your clients must have a valid Minnesota Tax ID Number. To get a Minnesota ID Number, go to our website and select Register for a Tax ID Number under Businesses, or call 651-282-5225 or 1-800-657-3605 during business hours. File Returns and Deposit Tax Electronically As a third-party bulk filer, you must file returns, make deposits, and submit W-2 and 1099 information electronically using our e-Services system. When filing returns, you can manually enter each client’s filing information or send an electronic file (in a spreadsheet format) containing your client’s information. Both options are available in e-Services. To find file layout information, go to www.revenue.state.mn.us and enter 3 withholding file formats into the Search box. Update Client Information If you have clients to add or remove, you must provide us with updated client information at least once per month. To update client information, go to our website and log in to e-Services. For more information, including registering and responsibilities, see Withholding Fact Sheet 5, Third-Party Bulk Filers. Withholding Requirements If you employ anyone who works in Minnesota, or is a Minnesota resident, and you are required to withhold federal income tax from that employee’s wages, you must also withhold Minnesota income tax in most cases. If you are not required to withhold federal income tax from your employee’s wages, you are not required to withhold Minnesota income tax in most cases. You can find the rules for determining if you are required to withhold federal taxes in federal Circular E, IRS Publication 15 (www.irs.gov). Withholding is required if you pay any employee—including your spouse, children, relatives, friends, students, or agricultural help—to perform services for your business. A worker is generally considered an employee if you control what they do and how they do it. Any officer performing services for a corporation is an employee, and their wages are subject to withholding. For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 6, Corporate Officers. You must withhold Minnesota income tax from pension and annuity payments to Minnesota residents, unless the recipient requests that the financial institution not withhold. You must withhold Minnesota income tax from wages you pay employees and send the amount withheld to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. You must withhold tax even if you pay employees in cash or give them other goods or services in exchange for working for you. Goods and services are subject to Minnesota withholding tax to the same extent they are subject to federal withholding tax. For details, see: • Withholding Fact Sheet 9, Definition of Wages • Withholding Fact Sheet 10, New Employer Guide Employee or Independent Contractor Worker classification is a matter of law, not choice. When evaluating worker classification, we consider many factors which fall into three categories: the relationship of the parties, behavioral control, and financial control. An employer who misclassifies an employee as an independent contractor is subject to a tax equal to 3% (.03) of the employee’s wages. The employee may not claim the tax as a credit (withholding) on their Minnesota Individual Income Tax return. For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 8, Independent Contractor or Employee. Deceased Employee’s Wages If an employee dies during the year, you must report the accrued wages, vacation pay, and other compensation paid after the date of death. Also report wages that were available to the employee while they were alive, regardless of whether they were actually in the employee’s possession, as well as any other regular wage payment, even if you may have to reissue the payment in the name of the estate or beneficiary. See IRS Publication 15 for more information. Withhold From Income Assignable to Minnesota Minnesota Residents You may be required to withhold Minnesota income tax from wages paid to a Minnesota resident regardless of where they performed the work (even if outside the United States). See information on page 5 to determine Minnesota tax to withhold. Residents of Another State If you are required to withhold federal income tax from a nonresident employee’s wages for work performed in Minnesota, you must also withhold Minnesota income tax in most cases. Exceptions: You are not required to withhold Minnesota tax if either: • The employee is a resident of Michigan or North Dakota and meets the reciprocity agreement provisions (see “Reciprocity for Residents of Michigan or North Dakota” on this page) • The amount you expect to pay the employee is less than $13,825 Note: Wages earned while an employee was a Minnesota resident, but received when they were a nonresident, are assignable to Minnesota and subject to Minnesota withholding tax. Wages include all income for services performed in Minnesota (such as severance pay, equity-based awards, and other non-statutory deferred compensation). For details, see “Form W-2 Wage Allocation” on page 12 and Withholding Fact Sheet 19, Nonresident Wage Income Assigned to Minnesota. Reciprocity for Residents of Michigan or North Dakota Minnesota has income tax reciprocity agreements with Michigan and North Dakota. Under these agreements, you are not required to withhold Minnesota income tax from wages if all of these apply: • Your employees are Michigan or North Dakota residents • They work in Minnesota • They give you a properly completed Form MWR, Reciprocity Exemption/Affidavit of Residency, each year (You must send us copies of these forms) Although you are not required to withhold income tax for the reciprocity state, we encourage you to do so as a courtesy to your employee. If you agree to withhold, contact the Michigan or North Dakota revenue department for information. For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 20, Reciprocity - Employee Withholding. 4 Interstate Carrier Companies If you operate an interstate carrier company and have employees who regularly perform assigned duties in more than one state (such as truck drivers, bus drivers, or railroad workers), withhold income tax for their state of residence only. Interstate Air Carrier Companies If you operate an interstate air carrier company and have employees who perform regularly assigned duties on aircraft in more than one state, you must withhold income tax for their state of residence and any state in which they earn more than 50% of their pay. Your employees are considered to have earned more than 50% of their pay in any state where scheduled flight time is more than 50% of total scheduled flight time for the calendar year. Nonresident Entertainer Tax Minnesota income tax rates do not apply to entertainers who are residents of other states and perform in Minnesota. Instead, their earnings are subject to Minnesota’s Nonresident Entertainer Tax. This tax is equal to 2% of the gross compensation received by a nonresident entertainer or entertainment entity. This tax does not apply to Michigan or North Dakota residents (see “Reciprocity for Residents of Michigan or North Dakota” on page 4). The term entertainment entity includes: • An independent contractor paid for providing entertainment • A partnership paid for providing entertainment provided by entertainers who are partners • A corporation paid for entertainment provided by entertainers who are shareholders of the corporation The promoter (person responsible for paying the entertainment entity) must deduct the tax and send it to us. Report and pay the nonresident entertainer tax on Form ETD, Nonresident Entertainer Tax, Promoter’s Deposit Form, by the end of the month following the performance. File Form ETA, Nonresident Entertainer Tax, Promoter’s Annual Reconciliation, by January 31 of the following year. Do not report the nonresident entertainer tax with the income tax you withhold from your employees. The nonresident entertainer must file Form ETR, Nonresident Entertainer Tax Return, by April 15 of the following year. For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 11, Nonresident Entertainer Tax. Other Types of Withholding Royalty Payments If you pay mining and exploration royalties for use of Minnesota land, you must withhold income tax on the royalties. The withholding rate is 6.25% (.0625) of the royalties paid during the year. Surety Deposits If you contract with a non-Minnesota construction contractor to perform construction work in Minnesota, you must withhold 8% (.08) of the payments when the contract’s value exceeds $50,000. Before the project begins, non-Minnesota contractors can apply for an exemption from the surety deposit requirements by filing Form SDE, Exemption from Surety Deposits for Non-Minnesota Contractors. They must file a Form SDE for each project. If the exemption is approved, we will certify and return the form to the non-Minnesota contractor, who then provides it to you. If the non-Minnesota contractor does not present an approved Form SDE, use Form SDD, Surety Deposits for Non-Minnesota Contractors, to make the surety deposits. The non-Minnesota contractor may then apply for a refund using Form SDR, Refund of Surety Deposits for NonMinnesota Contractors, once they have registered for and paid all state and local taxes for the project. For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 12, Surety Deposits for Non-Minnesota Construction Contractors. Withholding Affidavits for Construction Contractors If you are a construction contractor, you must comply with Minnesota’s withholding tax requirements when working on a project for the state of Minnesota or its political subdivisions (such as counties, cities, or school districts). You can submit Form IC134, Contractor Affidavit, electronically using e-Services (printable confirmation page available immediately upon approval) or by mail using Form IC134 (approval in 4 to 6 weeks). For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 13, Construction Contracts with State or Local Government Agencies. Residents Working Outside Minnesota Minnesota Residents Working in Other States If you employ a Minnesota resident who works in another state (other than Michigan or North Dakota where reciprocity agreements apply; see page 4), you may be required to withhold tax for Minnesota, for the state where the employee is working, or for both. To determine if you should withhold tax for the state in which the employee is working, contact the other state. To determine if you are required to withhold Minnesota tax, complete the worksheet below. Minnesota Residents Working Outside the United States If you employ a Minnesota resident who works outside the United States, you are required to withhold Minnesota tax on wages subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding. See “Form W-2 Wage Allocation” on page 12. Worksheet for Residents Working Outside Minnesota 1.

Send the amount on step 2 to the state in which the employee is working. 5 Forms for Minnesota Withholding Tax Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificates Form W-4MN, Minnesota Allowance/Exemption Certificate All new employees must complete Form W-4MN to determine their Minnesota withholding allowances. If an employee completes a new federal Form W-4, they must also complete a Form W-4MN. When to send us Form W-4MN copies Send us copies of Form W-4MN at the address provided on the form if any of these apply: • Your employees claim more than 10 Minnesota withholding allowances • The employee checked box A or B under Section 2, and you reasonably expect the employee’s wages to exceed $200 per week​ • You believe your employees are not entitled to their number of allowances claimed If an employee claims to be exempt from Minnesota withholding, they must provide you a new Form W-4MN each year. If you are paying an employee for wages that are exempt from withholding, do not submit Form W-4MN to us. Form W-4MN Penalties We may assess an employee a $500 penalty if they knowingly file an incorrect Form W-4MN. We may assess an employer a $50 penalty for each Form W-4MN not filed with us when required. Form W-4MNP, Minnesota Withholding Certificate for Pension and Annuity Payments You must withhold Minnesota income tax from pension and annuity payments unless the recipient requests to not have tax withheld. Each pension or annuity recipient must complete Form W-4MNP. If a recipient receives payments or distributions from an employee deferred compensation plan (such as a 401(k)), an individual retirement plan (IRA), or a commercial annuity, they should complete Form W-4MNP. The recipient may elect not to have Minnesota income tax withheld by completing section 2 of Form W-4MNP. How do I withhold tax on non-periodic distributions? It depends on whether or not the recipient has provided a Form W-4MNP or receives periodic payments. If the recipient And To determine withholding for the non-periodic payment Has Form W-4MNP on file Also receives periodic payments Use either Method 1 or Method 2. Method 1: Add the non-periodic distribution to the periodic payment, then determine withholding using the Minnesota Withholding Tax Tables. Method 2: Use the tax tables to determine withholding on the periodic payment separately. Multiply the non-periodic distribution by 6.25% to determine withholding on the payment. Does not receive periodic payments Does not have Form W-4MNP on file See the worksheet on page 34. Use this worksheet to calculate withholding using an annual payment period for the distribution. Have the recipient complete Form W-4MNP. Then, determine withholding based on whether or not they also receive periodic payments. Use the withholding tables on pages 16-33 to determine how much to withhold. The withholding amount is determined as though the annuity was a wage payment. If you use a computer to determine how much to withhold, use the formula on page 34. The wage total entered on your withholding tax return should not include pension and annuity payments. However, the total amount withheld should include the tax withheld from pension and annuity payments as well as tax withheld from your employees’ wages. Provide a federal Form 1099-R to the pension and annuity recipient at year-end showing payment and withholding amounts. Keep all Forms W-4MNP with your records. Report Federal Changes If the IRS changes or audits your federal withholding tax return or you amend your federal return, and those changes affect wages reported on your Minnesota return, you must amend your Minnesota return. File an amended Minnesota withholding tax return (see page 14) within 180 days after the IRS notifies you or after you file a federal amended return. If the changes do not affect your Minnesota return, you have 180 days to send us a letter of explanation. Send your letter and a copy of your amended federal return or the IRS correction notice to Minnesota Department of Revenue, Mail Station 5410, 600 N. Robert St., St. Paul MN 55146-5410. If you fail to report federal changes as required, we may assess a penalty equal to 10% of any additional tax due. 6 Determine Amount to Withhold Wages Determine the Minnesota income tax withholding amount each time you pay wages to an employee. For details, see Withholding Fact Sheet 9, Definition of Wages. 1. Use each employee’s total wages for the pay period before deducting any taxes. For nonresidents, use only the wages paid for work performed in Minnesota. 2. Use each employee’s Minnesota withholding allowances and marital status as shown on the employee’s Form W-4MN. 3. Using the information from steps 1 and 2, determine the Minnesota income tax withholding from the tables on pages 16-33 of these instructions. Use the appropriate table based on your employee’s marital status and how often you pay them. If you use a computer to determine how much to withhold, use the formula on page 34. Note: If your employees’ wages or withholding allowances change, or you change how often you pay them, the amount you withhold may also change. Overtime, Commissions, Bonuses, and Other Supplemental Payments Supplemental payments made to an employee separately from regular wages are subject to the 6.25% Minnesota withholding rate regardless of how many allowances employees claim. Multiply the supplemental payment by 6.25% (.0625) to calculate the Minnesota withholding amount. If you make supplemental payments to an employee at the same time you pay regular wages, and you list the two payments separately on your payroll records, choose Method 1 or Method 2 to determine how much to withhold: • Method 1: Add the regular wages to the supplemental payment and use the tax tables to find how much to withhold from the total. • Method 2: Use the tax tables to determine how much to withhold from the regular wages alone. Multiply the supplemental payment by 6.25% (.0625) to find how much to withhold from that payment. If you do not list the regular wages and the supplemental payment separately on the employee’s payroll records, you must use Method 1. Backup Withholding Minnesota follows the federal provisions for backup withholding on payments for personal services. Personal services include work performed for your business by a person who is not your employee. If the person performing services for you does not provide a Social Security or tax ID number, or if the number is incorrect, you must withhold tax equal to 9.85% (.0985) of the payments. If you do not, we may assess you the amount you should have withheld plus any penalties and interest. Non-periodic Distributions If the recipient is not receiving periodic payments, have them complete Form W-4MNP prior to the non-periodic distribution, to opt-out of Minnesota withholding or determine allowances for Minnesota withholding. Calculate the amount to withhold using an annual payment period for the distribution in the worksheet on page 34. If you are making a non-periodic distribution to an individual who is already receiving periodic payments and the recipient had requested withholding on their periodic payments, use Method 1 or Method 2 to determine how much to withhold. If they requested no Minnesota income tax withholding on periodic payments, request they complete a Form W-4MNP to determine withholding for the non-periodic distribution. Method 1: Add the non-periodic distribution to the periodic payment and use the tax tables to find how much to withhold. Method 2: Use the tax tables to determine withholding on the periodic payment separately. Multiply the non-periodic distribution by 6.25% to find how much to withhold on this payment. Withholding Tax Calculator This tool can help you calculate Minnesota withholding tax on: • Regular wages (employee payroll) • Supplemental payments (overtime, commissions, and bonuses) • Payments made for personal services • Payments dated January 1, 2009, through the end of the current year To use the calculator, go to www.revenue.state.mn.us and enter withholding tax calculator into the Search box. 7 Deposit Information There are two deposit schedules — semiweekly or monthly — for determining when you deposit income tax withheld. Tax is considered withheld at the time you pay your employees, not when they perform the work. For example, if you paid an employee in January for work performed in December, the tax is considered withheld in January, not December. Your Minnesota deposit schedule is based on your federal deposit schedule and the amount of tax withheld. When depositing tax, include all Minnesota income tax withheld from: • Employees • Corporate officers for services performed • Pensions and annuities Deposit Schedules Most employers are required to file withholding tax returns quarterly. Quarterly filers must deposit Minnesota tax according to their federal deposit schedule. Semiweekly Deposit Schedule You must deposit Minnesota withholding tax following a semiweekly schedule if both of these apply: • The IRS requires you to deposit semiweekly • You withheld more than $1,500 in Minnesota tax in the previous quarter If your payday is: • Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, your deposit is due the Wednesday after payday. • Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, your deposit is due the Friday after payday. One-day Rule. Minnesota did not adopt the federal “one-day rule” for federal liabilities over $100,000. If you meet the federal one-day rule requirements, you can still deposit your Minnesota withholding tax according to your deposit schedule. Monthly Deposit Schedule You must deposit Minnesota withholding tax following a monthly schedule if both of these apply: • The IRS requires you to deposit monthly • You withheld more than $1,500 in Minnesota tax in the previous quarter Monthly deposits are due by the 15th day of the month. Deposit Schedule Exception You may deposit the entire Minnesota tax withheld for the current quarter if both of these apply: • You withheld $1,500 or less in Minnesota tax in the previous quarter • You filed the previous quarter’s return on time Quarterly deposits are due April 30, July 31, and October 31 of the current year and January 31 of the following year. Deposits must be made electronically, if required, or postmarked by the U.S. Post Office (not by a postage meter) on or before the due date. If the deposit due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date is extended to the next business day. For details, visit our website and enter withholding tax due dates into the Search box. Annual Deposit Schedule If you meet the requirements to be an annual filer (see page 9) and you withheld $500 or less in the prior calendar year, you may pay the entire amount of withholding on January 31 when the annual return is due. You must make deposits each time the total tax withheld exceeds $500 during the year. Deposits are due the last day of the month following the month in which amounts withheld exceed $500 (except December). Electronic Deposit Requirements You must make your deposits electronically if at least one of these applies: • You withheld a total of $10,000 or more in Minnesota income tax during the last 12-month period ending June 30 • You are required to electronically pay any other Minnesota business tax to the Minnesota Department of Revenue • You use a payroll service company If you’re required to pay business taxes electronically for one year, you must continue to do so for all future years. If you do not deposit electronically when required, we will apply a 5% (.05) penalty to payments not made electronically, even if you make them on time. 8 How to Make Deposits Deposit Electronically You can make deposits online using our e-Services system for electronic filing and payments. Go to our website at www.revenue.state.mn.us to log in to e-Services. When paying electronically, you must use an account not associated with any foreign banks. For more information, see Withholding Tax Help in e-Services. Deposit by Check If you are not required to deposit electronically, you may pay by check. You must mail your deposit with a personalized payment voucher. Go to our website and select Make a Payment under Businesses. Enter the required information and print the voucher. A personalized scan line will be printed at the bottom of the voucher using the information you provided. Your check authorizes us to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account. You will not receive your canceled check. For additional payment methods, including ACH electronic payment, credit or debit card, and bank wire, see page 11. File a Return Are you a quarterly filer or an annual filer? Return filing due dates differ depending on whether you are a quarterly filer or an annual filer. Most employers are quarterly filers. To qualify for annual filing, you must have a filing history of withholding $500 or less in the prior calendar year or meet other special criteria. To verify your filing status, contact us (see page 2 for contact information). All Filers When entering wages paid during the reporting period, enter the total gross wages and any other compensation subject to Minnesota income tax withholding (such as commissions, bonuses, the value of goods and services given in place of wages, and tips employees received and reported to you during the quarter). See “Form W-2 Wage Allocation” on page 12. Also include: • Compensation paid to corporate officers for services performed • Wages for employees who completed Form MWR • Nontaxable contributions to retirement plans Do not include federal Form 1099 income, pension payments, or annuity payments. Quarterly Filers You must file a return for all four quarters, even if you deposited all tax withheld or did not withhold tax during the quarter. Your quarterly returns are due April 30, July 31, and October 31 of the current year and January 31 of next year. Use Worksheet A on page 10 to help file your quarterly returns. Make copies of the worksheet to use each quarter. Worksheet A Line 1. Enter wages paid to employees during the quarter. Line 2. Enter the total number of employees during the quarter. Line 3. Enter the total Minnesota income tax withheld during the quarter. Include income tax withheld from pension or annuity payments. Seasonal Businesses If you consistently withhold tax in the same quarters each calendar year (up to three, but not all four), you may qualify to deposit and file for only the quarters during which you pay wages. For more information and to determine if you qualify, go to our website and enter Withholding for Seasonal Businesses into the Search box. You may also call us at 651-282-9999 or 1-800-657-3594.

For more information, see Withholding Tax Help in e-Services. What You Need To file, you need these: • Your username and password • Your completed Worksheet A or B (page 10) for the period you are filing • Your bank’s nine-digit routing number and your bank account number (if you are making a payment with your return) You must be registered for withholding tax for the period you wish to file. To register or update your business information, go to our website or contact Business Registration (see page 2 for contact information). File by Internet Go to www.revenue.state.mn.us and log in to e-Services for Businesses. Pay the Balance Due If you owe additional tax, you must pay it in one of these ways: Electronically with e‑Services You can pay when you file your return. Follow the prompts on our e-Services system. You will need your bank’s routing number and your account number. When paying electronically, you must use an account not associated with any foreign banks. Note: If you pay electronically using e-Services, you can view a record of your payments. Access the I Want To menu and choose Manage payments and returns. If you currently have a debit filter on your bank account, you must let your bank know to add our ACH Company ID as an exception. The ACH Company ID is X416007162. If you do not add the number when required, your payment transaction will fail. Electronically by ACH Credit Method You may send us ACH payments through your financial institution. You authorize your bank to transfer funds to the state’s bank account. The bank must use ACH file formats, which are available on our website or by calling our office. Your financial institution may charge you for each transaction. By Credit or Debit Card Go to www.revenue.state.mn.us and select Make a Payment under Businesses. A third party processes credit or debit card payments and charges a fee for this service. Bank Wire You can authorize a direct transfer from your bank account to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. For information on how to make a bank wire transfer, call us at 651-556-3003 or 1-800-657-3909. By Paper Check If you are not required to pay electronically (see “Electronic Deposit Requirements” on page 8), you may pay by check. You must mail your payment with a personalized payment voucher. Go to our website and select Make a Payment under Businesses. Enter the required information and print the voucher. A personalized scan line will be printed at the bottom of the voucher using the information you provided. Your check authorizes us to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account. You will not receive your canceled check. Forgot Your Password? You can reset your password online from the e-Services login screen by selecting the Forgot Your Password? link. You will need: • Your username • Answer to your security question • A new password that is 8 - 16 characters long that contains both numbers and letters We will send an email with a link to reset your password. 11 Manage Online Profile Information Our e-Services system lets you: • Update your web profile information • Store your email address, phone number, and banking information • Create access to your and other people’s accounts • Add additional users with varying security, as well as request and approve third-party access Set Up and Manage Users There are two types of users in e-Services: e-Services Master and Account Manager. An e-Services Master can manage other users as well as file and pay for specific account types. An Account Manager can view, file, or pay for specific account types depending on the access level that an e-Services Master has set up for the user. e-Services access level options include: • File: Allows a user to view all information and file returns • Pay: Allows a user to view all information and make payments • View: Allows a user to view information but does not allow them to file or make payments • All Account Access: Allows a user total access to update the account, file, and make payments Create Additional Logons for Users Report Business Changes or End A Withholding Tax Account You must notify us if you change the name, address, or ownership of your business, close your business, or no longer have employees. To update business information, log in to e-Services or contact Business Registration (see page 2). If the ownership or legal organization of your business changes and you are required to apply for a new Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), you must register for a new Minnesota Tax ID Number. If you close or sell your business, you must file all withholding tax returns, including W-2s and 1099s, and pay any required withholding tax. For instructions on how to create additional logons for users, see Help in e-Services. Two-Step Verification Two-step verification adds a second layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to your account. You must enter a username, password, and a verification code we send you to log in to your account. For more information, go to our website and enter two-step verification into the Search box. Third-Party Access Third-party access provides a secure and convenient way for users to manage accounts for other businesses. Both parties must be active in e-Services and work together to establish this access. First, a user must request third-party access from a customer. Second, the customer must approve or deny this access request. For more information, go to our website and enter third-party access into the Search box. Forms W-2, 1099, and W-2c Form W-2 At the end of the calendar year, complete federal Form W-2 for each employee to whom you paid wages during the year. You must give W-2s to your employees by January 31 each year. If an employee stops working for you before the end of the calendar year and asks you in writing to provide the W-2 before January 31, you must provide it within 30 days after you receive the request. You must submit W-2 information to us by January 31 each year. Form W-2 Wage Allocation All wages earned by Minnesota residents (no matter where the work was physically performed) must be reported as wages allocable to Minnesota in box 16 of Form W-2. Wages earned by non-Minnesota residents for work physically performed in Minnesota are also allocable to Minnesota unless they are Michigan or North Dakota residents who provide you a properly completed Form MWR (see page 4). When completing Form W-2 for employees, allocate to Minnesota all wages earned while working in Minnesota and wages earned as a Minnesota resident while working in another state. Note: If you have an active withholding tax account, you must send W-2 information even if there is no Minnesota withholding tax. Form W-2 Filing Options If you have a total of more than 10 forms (W-2s plus 1099s), you must electronically submit the information to us using e-Services. e-Services system • Key and Send (manually enter information) • Simple File (spreadsheet saved as .txt or .csv file) • EFW2 File (see www.ssa.gov for instructions) For detailed information, see Withholding Fact Sheet 2, Submitting Form W-2 and W-2c Information. 12 Third-Party Payers of Sick Leave Certain third-party payers of sick leave must file an annual report with us by February 28 of the year following the year the sick pay was paid. This requirement applies to third-party payers who withhold income tax and sent it to us under the third party’s withholding tax account, but then permit the employer to include the taxes withheld at the end of the year on Forms W-2 issued to the employee. The report must include: • The employer name and identification number • The names and identification numbers of employees who received sick pay • The amount of sick pay which was paid during the year • The amount of tax withheld from payments Form 1099 and Other Federal Information Returns Follow the federal requirements to issue Forms 1099 and other information returns (1098, W-2G, etc.) for payments other than wages you made to recipients during the year. You must give 1099s to recipients by January 31 each year. Enter “MN” in the “State” space and fill in the amount of Minnesota income tax withheld for that recipient during the year, if any. You must submit 1099 information that reported Minnesota withholding—and other federal information returns that report Minnesota withholding—to us by January 31 each year. Note: You must submit this information to us even if you participate in the Federal/State Combined program. Form 1099 Filing Options If you have a total of more than 10 forms (W-2s plus 1099s), you must electronically submit the information to us using e-Services. e-Services system • Key and Send (manually enter information) • Simple File (spreadsheet saved as.txt or .csv file) • IRS Publication 1220 Format (see www.irs.gov for instructions) For detailed information, see Withholding Fact Sheet 2a, Submitting Form 1099 Information. Paper Copies If you have 10 or fewer and are not required to submit your W-2 and 1099 information electronically, you may send paper copies. Mail to: Minnesota Department of Revenue Mail Station 1173 600 N. Robert St. St. Paul, MN 55146-1173 To ensure accurate processing of your paper copies, you must use a separate envelope for each business with a different Minnesota Tax ID Number. Do not combine forms for multiple businesses in one envelope. If you submit W-2 and 1099 information using one of the electronic methods, you do not need to send us paper copies. Form W-2c If you made an error on a W-2 you have already given an employee, complete and provide them a corrected federal Form W-2c. Then, submit the W-2c information to us using e-Services. e-Services system • Key and Send (manually enter information) • EFW2c File (see www.ssa.gov for instructions) For more information, see Withholding Fact Sheet 2, Submitting Form W-2 and W-2c Information. Note: You may need to amend your withholding tax return for the period in which the error took place. For details on amending returns, see page 14. Recordkeeping Keep all records of employment taxes for at least four years. These should be available for us to review. Your records should include copies of: • Forms W-2 • Forms 1099 • Forms W-2c • Payroll records 13 Penalties and Interest Late-payment penalty If you pay all or part of the tax after the due date, you must pay a penalty. The late-payment penalty applies to late deposits and late return payments, and it is based on the percentage of unpaid tax. If your payment is: • 1 to 30 days late, the penalty is 5% (.05). • 31 to 60 days late, the penalty is 10% (.1) • More than 60 days late, the penalty is 15% (.15) Late-filing penalty There is an additional 5% (.05) penalty on the unpaid tax if you file your return late. Payment method There is a 5% (.05) penalty if you are required to make your withholding tax payments electronically and you pay by paper check. Repeat penalty We may assess an additional 25% (0.25) penalty if you repeatedly file and pay late. Extended delinquency penalty There is a 5% (.05) or $100 penalty, whichever is greater, for failure to file a withholding tax return within 30 days after we give a written demand. W-2 and information return penalties There is a $50 penalty each time you: • Do not provide a W-2 or information return to your recipients • Do not provide a W-2 or information return to us • Do not submit a W-2 or information return electronically when required (see page 12 for electronic filing requirements) • Provide a false or fraudulent W-2 or information return • Refuse to provide all information required on the forms The total W-2 and information return penalties assessed cannot exceed $25,000 per year. Interest You must pay interest on both the amount you send in late and the penalty. The 2023 interest rate is 5% (.05). To calculate how much interest you owe, use the formula below: Interest = (tax + penalty) x # of days late x interest rate ÷ 365 Amend a Return If you made an error on a withholding tax return you filed, you must amend (change) your return to correct the error using e-Services. You must file an amended return for each return requiring an adjustment. You must file an amended return if you: • Reported incorrect figures for wages paid • Reported an incorrect number of employees • Reported an incorrect amount of tax withheld for the period You must also enter contact information and a detailed explanation of why you are amending the return. For additional information, see Withholding Tax Help in e-Services. Note: You must send us Forms W-2c and any corrected Forms 1099 with Minnesota withholding. For more information, see page 13. 14 2023 Minnesota Withholding Tax Tables Use the tables on these pages to determine how much to withhold from your employees’ paychecks. There are separate tables for employees paid: • Every day • Once a week • Every two weeks • Twice a month • Once a month For each type of payroll period, there is one table for single employees and one table for married employees. Use the table that matches each employee’s marital status and payroll-period type. If you use a computer to determine how much to withhold, see page 34 for the formula to set up your program. 15 Single employees paid every day If the employee’s wages are at least Number of

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
