M1UE - Minnesota Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses

Minnesota requires certain employees to report unreimbursed business expenses on Schedule M1UE when filing their state income tax return. This form is used to claim deductions for work-related expenses that were not reimbursed by the employer.

Who Must File Schedule M1UE?

• Employees who incurred unreimbursed business expenses while working for an employer.
• Individuals who are not self-employed and whose expenses are not covered by employer reimbursement programs.

• Supplies and materials used for job duties.
• Professional dues and subscriptions.

Note: These expenses must be directly related to your employment and not reimbursed by your employer. The deduction is subject to Minnesota state tax rules and may be limited based on your income level or other factors.
