BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

    Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 289A.02, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
    Subd. 7. Internal Revenue Code. Unless specifically defined otherwise, "Internal
Revenue Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through April
14, 2011 January 3, 2013.
EFFECTIVE DATE.This section is effective retroactively for taxable years
beginning after December 31, 2012.

    Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 289A.08, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
    Subd. 7. Composite income tax returns for nonresident partners, shareholders,
and beneficiaries. (a) The commissioner may allow a partnership with nonresident
partners to file a composite return and to pay the tax on behalf of nonresident partners who
have no other Minnesota source income. This composite return must include the names,
addresses, Social Security numbers, income allocation, and tax liability for the nonresident
partners electing to be covered by the composite return.
(b) The computation of a partner's tax liability must be determined by multiplying
the income allocated to that partner by the highest rate used to determine the tax liability
for individuals under section 290.06, subdivision 2c. Nonbusiness deductions, standard
deductions, or personal exemptions are not allowed.
(c) The partnership must submit a request to use this composite return filing method
for nonresident partners. The requesting partnership must file a composite return in the
form prescribed by the commissioner of revenue. The filing of a composite return is
considered a request to use the composite return filing method.
(d) The electing partner must not have any Minnesota source income other than the
income from the partnership and other electing partnerships. If it is determined that the
electing partner has other Minnesota source income, the inclusion of the income and tax
liability for that partner under this provision will not constitute a return to satisfy the
requirements of subdivision 1. The tax paid for the individual as part of the composite return
is allowed as a payment of the tax by the individual on the date on which the composite
return payment was made. If the electing nonresident partner has no other Minnesota
source income, filing of the composite return is a return for purposes of subdivision 1.
(e) This subdivision does not negate the requirement that an individual pay estimated
tax if the individual's liability would exceed the requirements set forth in section 289A.25.
The individual's liability to pay estimated tax is, however, satisfied when the partnership
pays composite estimated tax in the manner prescribed in section 289A.25.
(f) If an electing partner's share of the partnership's gross income from Minnesota
sources is less than the filing requirements for a nonresident under this subdivision, the tax
liability is zero. However, a statement showing the partner's share of gross income must
be included as part of the composite return.
(g) The election provided in this subdivision is only available to a partner who has
no other Minnesota source income and who is either (1) a full-year nonresident individual
or (2) a trust or estate that does not claim a deduction under either section 651 or 661 of
the Internal Revenue Code.
(h) A corporation defined in section 290.9725 and its nonresident shareholders may
make an election under this paragraph. The provisions covering the partnership apply to
the corporation and the provisions applying to the partner apply to the shareholder.
(i) Estates and trusts distributing current income only and the nonresident individual
beneficiaries of the estates or trusts may make an election under this paragraph. The
provisions covering the partnership apply to the estate or trust. The provisions applying to
the partner apply to the beneficiary.
(j) For the purposes of this subdivision, "income" means the partner's share of
federal adjusted gross income from the partnership modified by the additions provided in
section 290.01, subdivision 19a, clauses (6) to (10) (9), and the subtractions provided in:
(i) section 290.01, subdivision 19b, clause (8), to the extent the amount is assignable or
allocable to Minnesota under section 290.17; and (ii) section 290.01, subdivision 19b,
clause (13). The subtraction allowed under section 290.01, subdivision 19b, clause (8), is
only allowed on the composite tax computation to the extent the electing partner would
have been allowed the subtraction.
EFFECTIVE DATE.This section is effective retroactively for taxable years
beginning after December 31, 2012.

    Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2013 Supplement, section 290.01, subdivision 19, is

purposes, and with the modifications provided in subdivisions 19a to 19f.

851(a) or 851(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, federal taxable income means investment
company taxable income as defined in section 852(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code,

Revenue Code must be applied by allowing a deduction for capital gain dividends and
exempt-interest dividends as defined in sections 852(b)(3)(C) and 852(b)(5) of the Internal
Revenue Code; and
    (3) the deduction for dividends paid must also be applied in the amount of any
undistributed capital gains which the regulated investment company elects to have treated

of certain real property as section 179 property and extension and modification of bonus
depreciation, are effective at the same time they become effective for federal purposes.

the applicable year.

except the changes incorporated by federal changes are effective retroactively at the same
time as the changes were effective for federal purposes.

(b) For individuals with no qualifying children, the credit equals 1.9125 percent of
the first $4,620 of earned income. The credit is reduced by 1.9125 percent of earned
income or adjusted gross income, whichever is greater, in excess of $5,770, but in no
case is the credit less than zero.
(c) For individuals with one qualifying child, the credit equals 8.5 percent of the first
$6,920 of earned income and 8.5 percent of earned income over $12,080 but less than

subdivision 19b , clause (9), the credit must be allocated based on the ratio of federal
adjusted gross income reduced by the earned income not subject to tax under this chapter

August 31, 2008, and in each subsequent year, from the 12 months ending on August 31,
2007, to the 12 months ending on August 31 of the year preceding the taxable year. The
earned income thresholds as adjusted for inflation must be rounded to the nearest $10. If the
amount ends in $5, the amount is rounded up to the nearest $10. The determination of the
commissioner under this subdivision is not a rule under the Administrative Procedure Act.
(h) For tax years beginning after December 31, 2010, and before January 1, 2012,
and for tax years beginning after December 31, 2013, and before January 1, 2018, the

months ending on August 31, 2008, to the 12 months ending on August 31, 2010, and in
each subsequent year, from the 12 months ending on August 31, 2008, to the 12 months
ending on August 31 of the year preceding the taxable year. The earned income thresholds
as adjusted for inflation must be rounded to the nearest $10. If the amount ends in $5, the
amount is rounded up to the nearest $10. The determination of the commissioner under
this subdivision is not a rule under the Administrative Procedure Act.
(i) The commissioner shall construct tables showing the amount of the credit at
various income levels and make them available to taxpayers. The tables shall follow
the schedule contained in this subdivision, except that the commissioner may graduate
the transition between income brackets.
