4.2 - Minnesota Personal Exemptions

4.3 - Minnesota Dependent Deduction

4.4 - Minnesota Itemized Deductions
- Minnesota allows itemized deductions, and you can claim the same itemized deductions on your Minnesota tax return as you do on your Federal tax return. You must choose between itemizing your deductions and choosing the Minnesota standard deduction, so it's generally only worth itemizing your deductions if your itemized total is more then the Minnesota and Federal standard deductions.
