But is in really beneficial to file a MN return? I filed an MN1 non-resident last year to track my rental gain/losses in MN. But the only mention of gain/loss in the MN return comes from the federal return, which could include other states. My MN taxable income also includes all my other income (though it's not taxed) so it seems there is no tracking of MN specific gains/losses on the rental property. How does filing a MN allow me to use this year's losses to offset future gains any more than just using a federal return?
