Federal income tax is not controlled by the state courts.
You need to talk to your MN attorney. I don't practice law in MN.
You might want to talk to a tax attorney. I highly recommend Rhett Buck, CPA & Attorney in Houston Texas. Tell him that FRAN sent you! You should be able to locate his phone number and website on line.
