To add an account, go to our website and log in to e-Services or contact Business Registration. General Information Electronic Filing and Payment Requirements Annual Return You must file your annual return electronically using our online e-Services system (refer to How to File Your Annual Return on Page 7). Payments You must pay electronically if your tax liability was more than $10,000 for any one Minnesota business tax during the previous fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). If you are required to pay any Minnesota business tax electronically for one year, you must pay all Minnesota business taxes electronically for all future years. We will send you a notice the first year you are required to pay electronically. We will assess a 5% payment method penalty on any non-electronic payments if you do not pay electronically when required. Filing Due Date Annual Return The regular due date to file your annual Provider, Hospital, or Surgical Center Tax Return and pay any additional tax due for the previous calendar year is March 15. You must file a return even if there is no additional tax due. If March 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, returns filed the next business day are considered timely. Extension of Time to File If you cannot file your return by the regular due date, you may request a 60-day filing extension. To request an extension for your 2023 return, call 651-282-5533 no later than March 15, 2024. A filing extension does not extend the time you have to pay your tax. You must pay any tax you owe by March 15 or we will assess penalties and interest. To pay electronically, go to our website and log in to e-Services. Estimated Tax Payments You must make estimated tax payments for the year if your total annual Provider, Hospital, or Surgical Center Tax was more than $500 for the previous year and will be more than $500 for the current year. If you are not required to make estimated tax payments for the year, you may pay your tax annually when you file your return. You must pay all tax owed by March 15. Due Dates Estimated tax payments are due quarterly for health care providers and monthly for hospitals and surgical centers. 2 General Information (continued) • Health Care Providers: Your quarterly estimated tax payments are due April 15, July 15, and October 15 of the current year and January 15 of the following year. • Hospitals and Surgical Centers: Your monthly estimated tax payments are due the 15th day of each month. The first payment for the year is due February 15 and the last payment is due January 15 of the following year. If a due date falls on a weekend or holiday, payments electronically made or postmarked the next business day are considered timely. How to Calculate Your Estimated Tax Payments You must calculate your quarterly or monthly estimated tax payments using either: • 90% of your tax for the current year • 100% of your tax for the previous year You may choose the smaller of these amounts and divide it by four if you are a health care provider or divide it by twelve if you are a hospital or surgical center. The result is the minimum estimated tax payment you must pay for each quarter or month. For help making this calculation and for examples, use the MinnesotaCare Estimated Tax Instructions available on our website. Additional Charge for Underpaid Estimated Tax If any estimated tax payment is paid late or is less than the required amount, we will assess an additional charge. Our e-Services system will calculate any additional charge when you file your annual return. Note: To avoid the additional charge, your best option is to calculate estimated tax payments based on your tax for the previous year. By doing this, you may pay more than the minimum estimated tax payment required each quarter or month, but you will avoid the additional charge. Any amount you overpay will be refunded to you when you file your annual return. Reporting Business Changes Be sure to update your business information if any of these apply: • You changed the name, address, owner/officers, or ownership of your business • You changed contact information (such as email address, phone number, or contact person) • You need to add or close a tax account • You closed your business • You are no longer required to file and pay the tax To update your business information, go to our website and log in to e-Services. For more information, refer to Manage Your Profile in e-Services on Page 14. Recordkeeping Keep all internal accounting records and external third-party documentation that support the amounts reported on your Provider, Hospital, or Surgical Center Tax Return.

Some examples of paper and electronic records include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Bank statements Collection agency statements Credit card processing vendor statements Patient financing company statements Explanations of benefits (EOBs) from Medicare, FEHBA, and TRICARE payers Remittances from other government agencies 1099 tax statements from payers Detailed records of nonpatient income Documentation for all COVID-19 relief payments received Audited and compiled financial statements Legend drug purchase invoices All other summary and detail reports, schedules, ledgers, and journals Computer system or software back-ups If you are audited, you will need to provide four to six years of records. All documentation must be made available for the department to review. Exemptions may be denied if your documentation is incomplete. Statute of Limitations The department may audit your return within 31/2 years from the due date of the return or the date you filed the return, whichever is later. If there is an error in the amount of tax you reported, and the difference between the original amount and the correct amount is 25% or more, we have 61/2 years to audit the return. There is no time limit if we find you have filed a false or fraudulent return, or if you have not filed 3 a return.

Research must be conducted in conformity with federal regulations governing research on human subjects. The exemption does not include payments from patients or their insurers for services you provided as part of the research. Charitable Donations or Home Health Care Services Charitable Donations. Of your total gross receipts, report the amount you received as charitable donations that were used for health care services not designated for a specific individual or group. Charitable donations that are designated for a specific individual or group are taxable. Private grants in the nature of a charitable donation qualify for this exemption. Government grants do not qualify for this exemption. However, grants from government agencies that are not funded by Medical Assistance (MA) may be exempt as a government payment (refer to Other Government Agencies on Page 11). Home Health Care Services. Home health care services are services provided in a patient’s residence by a licensed home health agency, personal care provider, or home care nursing service that is eligible to participate in the Medical Assistance (MA) program, or home care providers required to be licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health. Of your total gross receipts, report the amount you received from patients or their insurers for home health care services you provided in patients' residences. The exemption includes payments from the retail sale of health care supplies and equipment, including drugs, used as part of licensed home health care services you provided in patients' residences. Legend Drugs Legend drugs are drugs or gases required by federal law to be sold or dispensed in a container labeled with one of these statements: • “Caution: Federal law prohibits dispensing without prescription” • “Rx only” To claim the exemption, legend drugs or gases must be: • Classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a drug and not a device. Devices, equipment, and/or supplies are not legend drugs. • Purchased from a wholesale drug distributor who is subject to MinnesotaCare Wholesale Drug Distributor Tax. To determine if a wholesaler is subject to tax, check your purchase invoice for a MinnesotaCare tax expense charge or contact the wholesaler for verification. Nutritional products, blood, and blood components are not legend drugs and cannot be used to claim the exemption. Blood derivatives, however, that are derived from blood, plasma, or serum through a chemical manufacturing process are legend drugs. Calculating the Exemption. There are two methods you can use to calculate the exemption. If you cannot use Method 1, you must use Method 2. Method 1: You may claim the actual amount you paid for the legend drugs, less any reimbursements you received for the drugs that are exempt under MinnesotaCare tax law (such as drugs reimbursed by Medicare). These reimbursements are included in the other exemption amounts reported on your return. In order to use this method, you must be able to determine the portion of the amounts reported on other exemption lines that are for legend drug reimbursements. You must also have records verifying the actual drug costs and exempt reimbursement amounts. If you cannot determine the actual drug costs and exempt reimbursement amounts, you must use Method 2. 12 How to File Your Annual Return (continued) Method 2: Legend Drug Exemption Calculation If you cannot determine the actual legend drug costs and exempt reimbursement amounts, you must use the calculation below to determine your allowable exemption. 1 Legend Drug Purchases.

To access the calculator, go to our website at www.revenue.state.mn.us and enter Legend Drug Calculator in the Search box. Determining Your Tax When you file your return online through e-Services, your total exemptions, taxable receipts, and tax will be calculated for you based on the information you enter. The tax rate for 2023 is 1.6%. Estimated Tax Payments Any estimated tax payments you made for the year will be applied to your return. You will be asked to review the payments in e-Services when filing your return. If there are discrepancies between the payments in e-Services and your records, please contact us. Penalties and Interest Late Payment Penalty We will assess late payment penalty on any tax that is not paid by March 15. The penalty is 5% of the unpaid tax for every 30-day period (or part of a 30-day period) that your tax is not paid in full, up to 15%. Late Filing Penalty We will assess late filing penalty for filing your return after March 15. The penalty is 5% of any unpaid tax. Extended Delinquency Penalty If the department sends a written demand to file a tax return and the return is not filed within 30 days, we will assess an extended delinquency penalty. The penalty is 5% of any unpaid tax or $100, whichever is greater. This penalty is in addition to any late filing penalty. It applies to all unfiled returns, even if you paid the correct amount of tax on time or if you do not have a tax liability. Research Credit Health care providers and hospitals may be eligible for a credit against their Provider Tax or Hospital Tax if they used their health care receipts received during the year to fund qualifying health care research. To qualify, the research must be part of a formal research program conducted in conformity with federal regulations and subject to review. The health care receipts used to fund the research must be reported on your annual return and subject to tax. Receipts that are exempt from tax cannot be used to calculate the credit. The credit is equal to a percentage of expenditures used to fund the qualifying research and is limited to the amount of your Provider Tax or Hospital Tax for the year. For 2023, the percentage is 0.5%. If you believe you are eligible for the credit, but have not claimed it in the past, contact us so we can update your e-Services account. For additional information on qualifying research and eligibility requirements, go to our website at www.revenue.state.mn.us and enter MinnesotaCare Research Credit in the Search box. 13 How to File Your Annual Return (continued) Payment Method Penalty If you are required to make your tax payments electronically and do not, we will assess a 5% penalty on any non-electronic payments (such as paper checks or money orders). Interest We charge interest on unpaid tax and penalties from the date the tax is past due until it is paid in full. The interest rate is determined each year. The interest rate for 2023 is 5%. Paying the Balance Due If you owe additional tax, you can use e-Services to pay at the same time you file your return. You will need your bank routing and account numbers. If you pay through e-Services, you can view a record of your payments online once they have processed. If you want to pay electronically another way or if you pay by check, refer to the additional payment options on Page 4. How to Amend Your Return To adjust your return, you must file an amended return electronically using our e-Services system. To claim a refund, you must file your amended return within 31/2 years of the regular due date for the year you are amending. Keep all supporting documentation for any amended return you file. All documentation should be made available on request for the department to review. All amended returns are subject to audit. Filing Instructions To amend a return, follow these steps: 1. Go to our website at www.revenue.state.mn.us and log in to e-Services. 2. Select Returns and Periods for your Provider, Hospital, or Surgical Center Tax account. 3. Select View or Change Return for the return you want to amend. 4. Select Change on the return screen. 5. Enter your corrected amounts, contact information, and the reason you are amending the return. 6. Follow the remaining prompts and select Submit.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
