Minnesota income tax brackets, standard deduction and dependent exemption amounts for tax year 2026
The Minnesota Department of Revenue announced the adjusted 2026 individual income tax brackets. For tax year 2026, the state’s individual income tax brackets will change by 2.369 percent from tax year 2025. This annual adjustment will prevent taxpayers from paying taxes at a higher rate solely because of inflationary changes in their income.
Indexing for inflation of individual income tax brackets is required by law and first began in 1979. The brackets are adjusted annually by an inflation factor, rounded to the nearest $10, based on the change in the U.S. Chained Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers. The married separate brackets are half the married joint amount after adjusting for inflation. The adjustment does not change the Minnesota tax rate that applies to each income bracket.
The brackets apply to tax year 2026. Most Minnesota income taxpayers will use this information when filing their individual income tax return in 2027. Taxpayers who make quarterly payments of estimated tax should use the following rate schedule to determine their payments, which are due starting in April 2026.
