2021 Schedule M1NC, page 2
Purpose of This Schedule
Rules used to determine Minnesota Individual Income Tax are generally based on the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as amended through
December 31, 2018, with certain exceptions.
Since that date, federal tax laws were enacted containing provisions aecting tax year 2021. 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, the COVID-Related Tax Relief (COVIDTR) Act, and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of
2021. Because Minnesota has not adopted certain 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 certain provisions included in the TCDTR, FFCR, CARES, SECURE, TCDTR20, COVIDTR, and ARPA Acts.
Save your entire 2021 Minnesota income tax return and all worksheets you use.
