The Minnesota Film & TV Board scored a coup last year when it got $10 million in state money to draw movie business to Minnesota over two years. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to some of the nearly 40 other states — many with larger tax bases than Minnesota — that offer incentives.
But several states have cut back on their incentive programs, and others are considering doing so. Iowa, North and South Dakota and Wisconsin currently have no incentives.
Here is what some other states offered in rebates or tax credits in 2013:
Michigan: $50 million
Illinois: Unlimited
Oklahoma: $5 million
Ohio: $40 million
North Carolina: No overall cap, $20 million cap per film
Louisiana: Unlimited
Pennsylvania: $60 million
Utah: $6.8 million
Washington: $3.5 million
Oregon: $10 million
Texas: $95 million
California: $100 million
New York: $420 million
