2019 Schedule M1LS Instrucons
Should I le Schedule M1LS?
If you received a lump-sum distribution from a pension, prot-sharing, or stock bonus plan in 2019, you must le Schedule M1LS if both of
the following apply:
• You led federal Form 4972, Tax on Lump-Sum Distributions.
• You were a Minnesota resident when you received any portion of the lump-sum distribution.
You must include Schedule M1LS and a copy of your federal Form 4972 when you le Form M1.
What if I moved into or out of Minnesota in 2019?
Complete this schedule if you were a Minnesota resident when you received any portion of the distribution.
If you received a portion while you were a nonresident and a portion while you were a resident, you must complete Schedule M1LS and
include the full amount from federal Form 4972 on this schedule.
Five-Year Averaging Method
Even though federal Form 4972 allows you to use only the ten-year averaging method, you must use the ve-year averaging method for Min-
nesota.
Capital Gain Elecon
Minnesota does not allow a capital gain election for lump-sum distributions. You must report any capital gain election on Form 4972, line 6,
as an addition to federal taxable income on line 9 of Schedule M1M, Income Additions and Subtractions.
