Minnesota Dependent Exemption A taxpayer with dependents is allowed to subtract $4,250 for each dependent. This amount is adjusted for inflation each tax year. For taxpayers without dependents, the exemption is $0.
To qualify as a dependent, your partner must have lived with you for the entire calendar year and listed your home as their official residence for the full year. If your partner has gross income above a certain amount ($5,050 for tax year 2024), you can't claim that person as a dependent.
For regular wages, withholding must be based on allowances you claimed and may not be a flat amount or percentage of wages. If you expect to owe more income tax for the year than will be withheld, you can claim fewer allowances or request additional Minnesota withholding from your wages.
