Question

If I earned royalties and paid tax in a second state do I need to file for that state?

I earned revenue/royalties from mineral/oil rights in a state in which I do not live or work.  State tax was deducted from my royalties in the "other" state.  Do I need to file taxes in that state as well as my resident state?  Is there a benchmark earnings amount for filing in a second state?

Yes, you may have to file a tax return for that state, if your income meets the filing threshold. If you respond with the state, I can give you the Nonresident filing requirements.

The state is Oklahoma.  Why doesn't TT let me know during the interview process?  Knowing the threshold (I assume that means amount of income from that state...) would be helpful.

@carlerine16- The filing threshold in Minnesota for 2021 is $12,525 in Minnesota gross income.

 

@rj99 The filing threshold in Oklahoma for 2021 is $1,000 from Oklahoma sources.

Can you let me know the rule for North Dakota?

If you were a full-year nonresident of North Dakota for the 2021 tax year, you must file a  2021 North Dakota individual income tax return if both of the following apply:

  • You are required to file a 2021 federal individual income tax return.
  • You derived gross income from North Dakota sources during the 2021 tax year.

For a nonresident, “gross income from North Dakota sources” includes the income from tangible property in North Dakota, such as rents, oil and gas royalties, and gain from the sale or exchange of the property.

Yes, according to New Mexico Taxation and Revenue, if you are required to file a Federal return and you have income from a New Mexico source, then you are required to file a New Mexico return.  

 

Take a look at the following website for more information:

 

Do I need to file?

If I live in California but earn mineral royalties for a property I own in Pennsylvania, do I have to file both a Ca. and a Pa State return. What is the minimum threshold of income for Pa?
