Summary: The House Tax Committee met on March 3, 2026, approved the February 26 minutes without objection, and then took up House File 3127, the chairman’s bill to extend Minnesota’s pass-through entity tax through tax year 2027. The bill was amended with the H3127A2 amendment, which also revives and reenacts the expired tax provision. Committee discussion focused on the bill’s purpose: allowing pass-through businesses to pay state income tax at the entity level and claim a federal deduction, thereby reducing federal tax liability for owners. Department staff said the proposal is revenue neutral to the state, with a zero revenue estimate, because the entity-level tax is offset by a credit against individual income taxes. Several witnesses testified in support, including representatives from NAIOP Minnesota, the Minnesota Association for Justice, the Minnesota Society of CPAs, NFIB, and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. They said the extension would help small and medium-sized businesses, law firms, real estate investors, and other pass-through entities, improve tax fairness, preserve competitiveness with other states, and provide certainty ahead of filing deadlines. One self-described taxpayer also testified in favor, arguing the provision helps Minnesota businesses and stabilizes state revenue timing. Members generally expressed support, and the chair said he wanted to get the bill done by March 15. House File 3127, as amended, was laid over for possible inclusion in the omnibus tax bill. The committee then moved to House File 3524 and House File 3525, both presented by Representative Robbins and also laid over for possible inclusion. HF 3524 would conform Minnesota law to the federal “no tax on overtime” provision, and HF 3525 would conform to the federal “no tax on tips” provision. Representative Robbins said both bills would simplify tax filing and let workers keep more of their earnings, with HF 3525 aimed especially at tipped workers and other lower-wage employees in hospitality and similar industries. Testimony on those bills was deferred to a later point, and no votes were taken on them during this portion of the meeting.
