Related bill: SF1646

AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota tax law regarding the stillbirth tax credit. It modifies Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 290.0685, subdivision 1, to provide a $2,000 tax credit for parents who have experienced a stillbirth, provided that a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth has been issued. The credit is available only for the tax year in which the stillbirth occurred, and the child must have qualified as a dependent under federal tax law (IRC section 152).

Additionally, for nonresidents or part-year residents, the credit must be adjusted proportionally based on Minnesota income allocation rules.
