Student loan forgiveness will be taxable in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Pupil mortgage forgiveness will not be taxed federally, however it will likely be taxable in Minnesota until the state Legislature acts, Minnesota income officers say.
The reason being the Legislature by no means handed its 2022 tax invoice to evolve with federal adjustments, together with pupil mortgage forgiveness.
The forgiveness would improve an individual’s tax legal responsibility and doubtlessly scale back tax credit or deductions an individual would in any other case be eligible to obtain, state income officers mentioned.
5 issues you must learn about pupil mortgage forgiveness
This information comes a day after President Joe Biden on Wednesday introduced a wide-sweeping debt cancellation program during which many may get $10,000 forgiven — and much more for these with the best monetary want. Debtors who earn lower than $125,000 a yr can be eligible for $10,000 in mortgage forgiveness. Those that acquired Federal Pell Grants, a type of need-based federal monetary help, can get $20,000 of mortgage forgiveness.

Who deals with animals that meet their untimely demise on the road in Minnesota?
Roadkill in Minnesota is unfortunately a common sight. Deer, coyotes and skunks often meet a sad (and in the case of the latter, odorific) fate on the state’s roadways.
But what happens to the animals after they meet their untimely demise? That’s what reader Bob Abbott has been wondering. He contacted the Strib’s community reporting project, Curious Minnesota, to find out.
“I live in Alexandria at a lake in the summer. And as we head to our winter home in Florida, we see so many dead deer, raccoons, et cetera, alongside the highways,” Abbott said. “I’ve always wondered, who risks their lives to retrieve the dead bodies?”
It depends. Workers with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and other local road authorities are on the roadkill retrieval front lines. But agencies like the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) also issue permits to regular folks wanting to pick up a carcass.
This means that roadkill in Minnesota typically ends up in one of three places — it could land in a shallow roadside grave, in a special compost heap or on someone’s dinner table.

Roadkill incidents occur all year long. But as the Curious Minnesota questioner Abbott observed, they tend to increase during the fall, said Anne Meyer, a MnDOT spokesperson.
This is because the deer rut during fall. Their behavior changes as they seek out mates, causing them to become more active near roadways.

Cardinals-Vikings Unveil Thursday Injury Report
ARIZONA — The Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings released their Thursday injury reports ahead of their Week 13.
The Cardinals saw Kelvin Beachum upgraded from DNP to Full after his rest day.
Emari Demercado (back), Darius Robinson (ankle), Jalen Thompson (ankle) and Jonah Williams (shoulder) all were limited for a second straight day.
It’s a fairly light injury report for the Cardinals, who again saw key defenders practice for a consecutive day – a potentially good sign for players such as Thompson and Robinson.
As for the Vikings:
DNP – Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle), Jay Ward (elbow)
Limited – Patrick Jones (knee), Cam Robinson (foot) and Andrew Van Ginkel (thigh)
Full – Harrison Phillips (rest), Jonathan Bullard (toe), Kamu Grugier-Hill (shoulder), Brandon Powell (ankle),
Phillips, Bullard, Grugier-Hill and Powell all saw upgrades in their practice status.
The Cardinals’ playoff chances again can sway either way for the squad with a win/loss in Minnesota, you can read more about their odds here.
Arizona stumbled out of their bye week against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Cardinals know defeating the Vikings on the road is a tall task.
“It goes back to the makeup of this team. We understand and ‘JG’ (Head Coach Jonathan Gannon) does a great job. After the game, I know he’s probably feeling the same way we feel, right? But at the end of the day, the message is we have to be ready for next week,” Kyler Murray said when asked about rebounding.
“We can’t let one turn into two, two turn into three. We have to get right back on the horse and keep going and the guys understand that. We’ve done a good job of bouncing back and we get another opportunity to go out there this weekend and do that again.”
