How Minnesota withholding works

State form: W-4MN.

Minnesota's computer formula: annualize your federal taxable wages, subtract $5,300 per W-4MN allowance, and apply the annual brackets for your filing status (single or married). Taxable wages at or below the no-tax threshold ($4,700 single, $14,700 married after allowances) withhold $0.
