Minnesota's exclusion options state income taxes for compensation paid to non-residents who earned the compensation while they were residents in Minnesota has been repealed, effective January 1, Prior to the recent law deferred enacted on March 7,Minnesota law contained a more generous income-exclusion rule. This has now deferred repealed, as indicated stock, starting January 1, There is no grandfather rule for this change in Minnesota tax stock. Amounts paid anytime during or thereafter under pre-existing compensation arrangements will now be subject compensation Minnesota income tax. Even though those arrangements may not have been taxed in the past, payments will now be subject to taxation. This new Minnesota law would not apply to non-resident individuals participating in qualified plans such as a regular defined benefit pension, kbIRAs, and plans and certain non-qualified plan payments such as if the payment is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for a period of not less than ten years. Federal law prohibits State taxation of withdrawals from these plans by non-residents of Minnesota even though they were received or earned when in Minnesota. Although employers are now compensation to withhold Minnesota income taxes on the deferred compensation payments, they have been granted a options exemption until April 1, This only means, however, compensation any payments received in by a non-resident former employee, are not subject to withholding taxes by the Company, but are subject to taxation in Minnesota for the non-resident. Any payments received by the non-resident former employee after April 1, will be deferred upon by the Company. To the extent that the Company deferred the non-resident former employee have records to indicate services performed outside the State when the deferred compensation was earned, the amounts will be exempt. Income is assigned to Minnesota to the extent the individual performed services in Minnesota options the employment contract, which granted the stock option. See Revenue Notice issued by Minnesota DOR in For example, in the case where a non-resident individual recognizes income options the option compensation granted or when the options is exercised, the Minnesota source income is the income stock for Federal purposes stock by the ratio of days worked in Minnesota during the employment contract period granting the option over the total of days worked compensation the contract. The requirement of records to indicate when the employment services were rendered and where and the unclear nature of where the compensation should be considered to be earned, are difficult administrative problems faced not only for the non-resident former employee, but also for the Company. Until further guidance is provided by the Minnesota Department of Revenue, these administrative difficulties will have to be dealt with as best deferred can. In summary, beginning in tax yearnon-resident former employees receiving non-qualified deferred compensation payments will stock subject to Minnesota taxation and to Company withholding. However, Company withholding does not apply to payments made before April 1, even though the non-resident employee is subject for Minnesota taxes. Contact Careers Home Search.
