By April 15, nonresident entertainers and
entertainment entities that received com-
pensation for performances in Minnesota,
must le Form ETR to report the total
compensation earned in Minnesota and
any withheld nonresident entertainer tax.

compensation earned for performances in
Minnesota.
For more complete information, including
additional responsibilities of the nonresi-
dent entertainer or entertainment entity and
for the promoter, see Withholding Tax Fact
Sheet 11, Nonresident Entertainer Tax.
General Informaon
Compensation received by a nonresident
entertainer or entertainment entity for
performances in Minnesota is subject to a
2 percent nonresident entertainer tax. The
nonresident entertainer tax replaces the
regular Minnesota income tax.
The Promoter’s Responsibilies. The
person or organization (the promoter) who
pays you for performances in Minnesota
must withhold 2 percent of your gross
compensation and remit it to the department
on your behalf, unless one of the following
exceptions apply.
Excepons. Promoters are not required to
withhold the 2 percent nonresident enter-
tainer tax from the compensation if:
the payment(s) made to a nonresident
public speaker is less than $2,000;
the payment(s) made to a nonresident
entertainer or entertainment entity is less
than $600; or
the nonresident entertainer or entity is
a resident of North Dakota or Michigan
and the individual provided a properly
completed Form MWR, Reciprocity
Exemption/Afdavit of Residency. (See
“Residents of Michigan and North Da-
kota” on this page).
By January 31, the promoter is required to
issue a federal Form 1099-MISC to every
nonresident entertainer and entertainment
entity who was paid $600 or more — or to
a nonresident public speaker who was paid
$2,000 or more — in total compensation
for performances in Minnesota during the
previous year.
The Entertainers Responsibility
If the total compensation you received for
performances as a nonresident of Minnesota
in a tax year exceeds the individual income
tax ling requirements, you must le Form
ETR and pay any tax due by April 15 the
following year.
If you have other types of Minnesota
income in addition to the entertainment in-
come, you must also le partnership, sales
and use, corporate and/or individual income
tax returns.
Residents of Michigan and
North Dakota
If you are a resident of Michigan or North
Dakota, you are not subject to nonresident
entertainer tax.
Promoters will withhold regular Minnesota
income tax from your compensation unless
you give them a completed Form MWR,
Reciprocity Exemption/Afdavit of Resi-
dency.
