What’s Really Happening with Minnesota Tax Conformity: A Conversation with Nick Creamer

In this episode of Traction with the Tiger, Chris Wittich is joined by Senior Tax Manager Nick Creamer to discuss Minnesota’s ongoing nonconformity with recent federal tax changes and what it means for the 2026 tax season. They break down key issues like bonus depreciation, Section 174 R&D expensing, no tax on tips and overtime, and the expiration of Minnesota’s PTE election. With uncertainty around whether the legislature will pass a conformity bill this year, Chris and Nick walk through the risks, planning considerations, and why extending your return may be the smartest move.
