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 le an income tax
return with the other state.
Excepon: You may be eligible for this credit if all of the following are true:
• You were a permanent resident of another state.
• You are required to le a Minnesota income tax return as a resident under the 183-day rule.
• You paid 2019 state income tax on the same income to Minnesota and your state of permanent residence.

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 the following apply:
• You received personal service income (wages, salaries, tips, commissions, and bonuses) from working in Michigan or North Dakota.
• You had 2019 Michigan or North Dakota income tax withheld from that income.
To get a refund of the tax withheld while you were a Minnesota resident, le an income tax return with the appropriate state.
If you paid 2019 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 18 of Form M1.
