2020 Schedule M1NC, page 2
Purpose of This Schedule
Rules used to determine Minnesota Individual Income Tax are based on the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as amended through December 31,
2018.
Since that date, federal tax laws were enacted containing provisions aecting tax year 2020. These federal laws include the Taxpayer Certainty
and Disaster Tax Relief (TCDTR) Act of 2019, the Families First Coronavirus Response (FFCR) Act, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act, the Taxpayer Certainty and
Disaster Tax Relief Act (TCDTR20) of 2020, and the COVID-Related Tax Relief (COVIDTR) Act. Because Minnesota has not adopted these
federal changes, you may need to adjust your Minnesota return.
You must use this Schedule to complete your Minnesota return if you are aected by any of its provisions. Several provisions may require an
income adjustment for Minnesota tax purposes. This Schedule includes the most common adjustments; you must make adjustments as needed
for all provisions included in the TCDTR Act, FFCR Act, CARES Act, and the SECURE Act, TCDTR Act of 2020, and the COVIDTR Act.
Save your entire 2020 Minnesota income tax return and all worksheets you use.

Trade or business
An activity qualies as a trade or business if your primary purpose for engaging in the activity is for income or prot and you are involved
in the activity with continuity and regularity. The facts and circumstances of each case determine if an activity is a trade or business. The
regularity of activities and transactions and the production of income are important elements. You do not need to actually make a prot to
be in a trade or business as long as you have a prot motive. However, you do need to make ongoing eorts to further the interests of your
business.
