In Minnesota the 1 percent processing tax applies only to single earners above 750 dollars and married couples above 1500 dollars. Part time workers and students below these thresholds face no tax but will have income tax withheld and may reclaim it by filing a return. Burkman suggests a special short form for these individuals.
