Hi,
What I have already done: Filed MFJ federal return and MFS Hawaii state return (on my income only). Husband is active duty military and does not pay state taxes to Minnesota (his state of residence) at all.
Question 1) Do we need to file a Minnesota return?
Question 2) If we must, MN requires us to have the same filing status as our federal return. This means my income will be included. How do I input the tax credit for tax I already paid to Hawaii? (What do I put in "total income taxed in both Minnesota and another state" box? Just my AGI or combined federal AGI?)
Question 3) Will this tax credit cover all of MN's state tax on our income so that our return is net $0?
Question 4) Does the fact I filed MFS Hawaii affect the MFJ Minnesota credit?
