Does Minnesota tax my Social Security income? [+]

Yes. Minnesota taxes the same amount of Social Security benefits that is taxed federally. However, you may qualify for a subtraction from Minnesota taxable income if you receive these benefits. For more information, see Social Security Benefit Subtraction.

If your only income is Social Security, you are not required to file an income tax return. If you have questions on whether or not your Social Security is taxable, contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or visit the IRS website.
