Frequently asked questions

Does Minnesota have a lower rate for long-term capital gains?

Minnesota includes taxable capital gains in ordinary state taxable income and uses progressive rates.

Does this include federal capital gains tax?

No. This page estimates the state layer. Use the federal capital gains calculator for the 0%, 15% or 20% long-term rate, ordinary short-term rates and possible 3.8% NIIT.

Why does other income change the result?

The gain can stack on top of other taxable income. In a progressive system, some or all of the gain may therefore fall into higher state brackets.
