Data notes for Minnesota
Starts from federal AGI. MN has no personal exemption for filer/spouse (exemptions are for dependents only). 2026 brackets, standard deduction and phase-out thresholds are PROJECTED: PE only holds 2025 official values and MN DOR's 2026 inflation-adjusted amounts could not be retrieved (search budget exhausted). Projection = 2025 official value x 1.023226 (chained CPI-U avg Sep 2024-Aug 2025 / Sep 2023-Aug 2024, from PE gov/bls/cpi/c_cpi_u.yaml; this window reproduces the 2024->2025 MN ratios ~1.0278), brackets rounded to nearest $10, deductions/thresholds down to $50; MFJ standard deduction = 2 x single. Expect errors of roughly +/-$10-$50 per threshold. 2025 official values for reference: single brackets 32,570 / 106,990 / 198,630; MFJ 47,620 / 189,180 / 330,410; HOH 40,100 / 161,130 / 264,050; std 14,950 / 29,900 / 22,500; phase-out thresholds 238,950 (low) / 330,300 (high). Standard deduction phase-out: 3% of AGI over the low threshold, plus 10% over the high threshold, max 80% of the deduction -> standard_deduction_phaseout carries tier 1 and special mn_std_deduction_second_tier adds tier 2. 1% NIIT on net investment income over $1M does not apply to wages. Marriage credit applies only to two-earner couples (not in scope). Minnesota Paid Leave started 1 Jan 2026: 0.88% premium, employer may deduct up to 50% from employees (0.44%) on wages up to the SS wage base rounded to nearest $1,000 ($185,000) -> max $814.
