trust-nexusIncomplete-gift nongrantor trust / ING (income tax reach)UNRESOLVED, no escape: the statute reaches it on its face (290.01 subd. 7b(a)(2), grantor domicile at irrevocability), and Fielding (Minn. 2018) struck that AS APPLIED to a trust whose grantor had surrendered all control. An ING is the opposite case: the settlor stays a permissible discretionary distributee (that retained access is what makes the gift incomplete), and Revenue Notice 23-01 lists exactly that, a resident grantor who retained 'power to dispose of' the property, as a connection the Department WILL assert. The statute was never repealed and the Department has not acquiesced, so the taxpayer would be the test case

Minnesota's settlor-domicile rule stands, but the state's own supreme court and DOR notice confine it to trusts with current-year Minnesota contacts
Resident trust means an irrevocable trust, the grantor of which was domiciled in this state at the time the trust became irrevocable.
Note: Practical outcome: closest of the resident-rule states to an escape; residual exposure is fact-specific (an MN-law governing instrument or MN advisors are listed connections).

Minnesota top income tax rate is 9.85% on Minnesota taxable income above $304,970 (MFJ, TY2025)
Subd. 2c. Schedules of rates for individuals, estates, and trusts. (a) The income taxes imposed by this chapter upon married individuals filing joint returns and surviving spouses as defined in section 2(a) of the Internal Revenue Code must be computed by applying to their taxable net income the following schedule of rates: (1) On the first $38,770, 5.35 percent; (2) On all over $38,770, but not over $154,020, 6.8 percent; (3) On all over $154,020, but not over $269,010, 7.85 percent; (4) On all over $269,010, 9.85 percent.
Note: The rate percentages (5.35%, 6.8%, 7.85%, 9.85%) are fixed in §290.06(2c); the quoted dollar figures are the statutory base-year thresholds, which §290.06 subd. 2d indexes annually. The TY2025 MFJ thresholds published by the Minnesota DOR are $47,150 / $189,070 / $304,970. Minnesota capital gains are taxed as ordinary income at these rates.

IRC §1212(b): capital losses carry forward only for non-corporate taxpayers; no carryback
In the case of a taxpayer other than a corporation, if there is a net capital loss for any taxable year: (1) the excess of the net short-term capital loss over the net long-term capital gain for such year shall be a short-term capital loss in the succeeding taxable year, and (2) the excess of the net long-term capital loss over the net short-term capital gain for such year shall be a long-term capital loss in the succeeding taxable year.
Note: IRC §1212(b) limits non-corporate taxpayers to carrying losses forward only ('succeeding taxable year'). IRC §1212(a), which allows a 3-year carryback, applies only to corporations. For conformity states, the federal carryforward amount flows to the state return unchanged.

The amount of opportunity zone capital gain income is an addition. For the purposes of this subdivision, opportunity zone capital gain income equals the sum of: (1) the amount of gains the taxpayer excluded from gross income or deferred in the taxable year under section 1400Z-2(a) of the Internal Revenue Code due to a deferral under section 1400Z-2(b)(1); and (2) for a gain on an investment in the taxable year, the amount by which the taxpayer's basis in the investment was increased under section 1400Z-2(b)(2)(B) or 1400Z-2(c).
Note: The opportunity-zone addback is Minn. Stat. §290.0131 subd. 24 ('Opportunity zone capital gain income'), added by 2026 Minn. Laws Ch. 128 art. 1 §9. A prior version of this fact cited subd. 22, which is 'Qualified transportation fringe', an unrelated provision; corrected to subd. 24.

Minnesota conforms to IRC §1202 QSBS gain exclusion via its IRC-conformity definition of net income; no §1202 addback
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through May 1, 2023, applies for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1996.
Note: Minnesota starts from federal taxable income and adopts the IRC as of a fixed conformity date; IRC §1202 (enacted 1993) is well within that date, so a §1202-excluded gain never enters the MN base, and Minn. Stat. §290.0131 (additions) contains NO §1202 addback. 2026 Minn. Laws Ch. 128 (enacted May 2026) advances the conformity date to 'as amended through May 1, 2026', picking up the OBBBA (H.R.1, July 4, 2025) §1202 enhancements; the compiled statute still shows the prior May 1, 2023 date pending republication. CORRECTION (2026-07-20): a prior version of this fact quoted a §1202 addback 'for stock acquired after July 4, 2025' attributed to Ch. 128; that text does not appear in the enacted Ch. 128 (verified against the live session law) and was removed.

Net interest income on obligations of any authority, commission, or instrumentality of the United States to the extent includable in taxable income for federal income tax purposes, but exempt from state income tax under the laws of the United States, is a subtraction.
Note: Minn. Stat. §290.0132 subd. 2 subtracts U.S. obligation interest only when it is exempt from state tax under federal law. FNMA and FHLMC are federally chartered but their obligations carry no federal bondholder exemption, so that interest stays in the Minnesota base. The catalog id retains the earlier §290.0133 subd. 5 label; the subtraction is codified at §290.0132 subd. 2.

Minnesota conforms to the federal capital-loss base; treatment of an imported pre-residency section 1212 carryforward is a structural inference
The income taxes imposed by this chapter upon married individuals filing joint returns and surviving spouses as defined in section 2(a) of the Internal Revenue Code must be computed by applying to their taxable net income the following schedule of rates:
Note: Minn. Stat. §290.06 subd. 2c applies the rate schedule to taxable net income, which flows from federal taxable income under the chapter, so the federal section 1212 capital-loss base carries through. No published guidance addresses the imported pre-residency carryforward; that piece stays a structural inference.
