The Minnesota M4Np form is a crucial document for tax-exempt organizations and cooperatives that file federal Form 990-T or 1120-C. This form is specifically designed to help these entities report their net operating losses (NOL) and manage their tax obligations effectively. When completing the M4Np, organizations must provide essential details such as their name, Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), Minnesota Tax ID, and the year for which they are filing. The form requires organizations to summarize their Minnesota taxable net income or loss, the losses they have utilized, and those they plan to carry forward. It is important to note that the deduction for net operating losses is capped at 80% of the taxable net income for the year, and losses can only be carried forward for a maximum of 15 years. Since tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the option to carry losses back has been eliminated. Additionally, the M4Np form requires a separate schedule for each corporation in a unitary group claiming a net operating loss deduction, ensuring accurate reporting and compliance. By following the provided instructions and completing the necessary calculations, organizations can navigate their tax responsibilities with greater clarity and efficiency.

2022 Schedule M4NP NOL Instructions

Use this form to show the sources and applications of your net operating losses. List the years you used to calculate the net operating loss and the years you used the losses.

Your net operating loss deduction is limited to 80% (0.80) of your taxable net income for the year. Net operating losses may be carried forward only. The carry forward period is 15 years.

Starting with tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the two-year carry back has been eliminated.

You may deduct a net operating loss incurred in a prior year and not previously used to offset net income on Form M4NP, Unrelated Business Income Tax Return, line 7.

If you conduct your business entirely in Minnesota, you may deduct the full amount of any previously unused net operating loss after the 80%

limitation is applied.

If you apportion your income to Minnesota, you may deduct any previously unused net operating loss at the apportionment percentage of the

loss year.

You may not create or increase the net operating loss by the:

Deduction for dividends received

Foreign royalties subtraction for tax years beginning before 2013

Acquired net operating losses are subject to limitation as determined under Internal Revenue Code section 382(g).

To complete the worksheet:

Enter your Minnesota taxable net income or loss (Form M4NP, line 6) for the year in the Minnesota Taxable Net Income/Loss column.

If the amount is a loss, add it to the total in the previous year’s Losses Remaining column and enter the sum in the Losses Remaining column. The amount of loss being used in each year is limited to 80% (0.80) of the taxable net income for the year.

If the amount is income, and you use the losses from previous years to reduce that income, enter the amount of loss used to reduce the income in the Minnesota Losses Used column.

Complete Schedule M4NP NOL and attach a copy with your Minnesota tax return.

You must complete a separate Schedule M4NP NOL for each corporation in a unitary group claiming a net operating loss deduction. Note: Organizations that file federal Form 1120-H or 1120-POL are not allowed a net operating loss deduction.
