A married couple that jointly operates an unincorporated business and files a joint federal return may elect to be treated as a qualified joint venture instead of a partnership if they are the only owners and both materially participate. This election carries over to the Minnesota return. Minnesota Income Tax Returns For state tax purposes, the partnership completes Form M3, Partnership Return and files it with the Department of Revenue along with a copy of federal Form 1065 and Schedules K and K-1. The partnership may also have to pay a minimum fee based on property, payroll, and sales attributable to Minnesota. A partnership must issue forms KPC, Partner’s Share of Income, Credits and Modifications to all corporate and partnership partners and form KPI, Partner’s Share of Income, Credits and Modifications to all nonresident partners and resident partners with Minnesota modifications. In certain circumstances, the partnership may also elect to pay the pass-through entity (PTE) tax on behalf of their partners. If the partnership has nonresident individual partners, it may file a composite income tax on their behalf. If it has nonresident individual partners who will not be included in composite income tax or PTE tax, the partnership is generally required to withhold income tax on behalf of such partners and remit it with its Minnesota partnership return. Individual partners who are not included in the composite income tax or do not elect the PTE tax to satisfy their filing requirement also complete Form M1, Individual Income Tax.
