Related: About this forumSocial Security is not taxable
I have been working on TurboTax and I am looking at a draft of the Minnesota return and I am thinking something wrong. I need to look at all the forms.
I have been using spreadsheets from one year to the next.
But I look at this year form M1M: Income additions and subtractions. And there, on line 12, it says: "enter the full amount from Line 6b Form 1040!" This is the amount of taxable Social Security.(If below certain income levels).
I am still reading it again and again. Really changes the whole picture.
And we will get large refund which will be taxable on federal return 2024. Grrr..

But I think the tax services and CPAs have fought against a simplified tax code for ever.

(163,012 posts)Minnesota's tax code is designed to spare lower-income recipients who are most dependent on the monthly checks, while keeping Social Security taxable for well-off residents who have other sources of income. More than 50% of Minnesota households receiving Social Security pay no state taxes on their benefits.

(28,738 posts)I'll find out when I finally get around to doing my taxes. I started collecting Social last June, but I'm still working so I think I'll be paying tax to the state on at least part of my SS. (And despite have 10% of my Social withheld for taxes, I think I'll be paying in to the Feds as well.)
