Individual income tax rates modified, and zero bracket provided.

HF 812 adjusts Minnesota's individual income tax brackets by updating the income thresholds for each tax rate, such as setting the 5.35% rate to apply to income up to $38,770 for married couples filing jointly. It requires annual inflation adjustments to these brackets starting in 2025 and includes a simplified tax calculation method using $100 income brackets for low-income taxpayers (referred to as the "zero bracket" provision in the bill title). This bill affects all Minnesota residents who file individual income tax returns, as the adjusted brackets change which tax rate applies to different income levels. The simplified calculation method does not alter tax rates but streamlines computation for low-income earners.
