You may claim exemptions for your dependents. Minnesota uses the same definition of a qualifying dependent as the Internal Revenue Service. For more information, see IRS Publication 501.

Note: Personal exemptions are no longer allowed after tax year 2018.

How much is my exemption amount? [+]

You may be able to reduce your taxable income by up to $4,300 per exemption if your income is less than the following amount:

Filing Status	Income
Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Widow(er)	$296,750
Single	$197,850
Head of Household	$247,300
Married Filing Separately	$148,375

To determine your exemption amount, see Worksheet for Line 5 – Personal and Dependent Exemptions on page 13 in the 2020 Minnesota Individual Income Tax Instructions.

Note: Prior to federal law changes in 2017, the Internal Revenue Service published Revenue Procedure 2017-58. This provided the inflation-adjusted exemption amounts under Minnesota tax law for tax year 2018.
