field_block:node:page:body

Provide the completed Form W-4MN to your employer.
If you are exempt from Minnesota withholding, your employer or payer does not have to withhold Minnesota tax.
You may claim exempt from Minnesota withholding if at least one of these apply:
- You meet the requirements and claim exempt from federal withholding
- You had no Minnesota income tax liability last year, received a refund of all Minnesota income tax withheld, and do not expect to owe state income tax this year
- Your work-related income qualifies for relief under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (see Service Member Spouse Tax Relief)
- You receive Minnesota National Guard pay or active-duty U.S. military pay
