Forgot to claim Frontline Worker Pay

[AmeliesUncle]

Have you gone through the entire State interview?  Somebody else has mentioned it asked a question about the Frontline Worker pay.

[alectimmerman]

I figured it out. On Federal claim it as other 1099 miscellaneous and then on the state return "prepare state" write down the amount you claimed on federal. It worked. $487.45

If you received the frontline workers pay in MN, it gets reported on your federal return under Miscellaneous Income as if you received a 1099-misc.    That will include the income on your federal return.   Then when you get to that section on the MN state return, you can enter the same amount which will subtract it on the state return.    It is taxable on your federal return but nontaxable on your state return.   @distant55

Likely a really dumb question...

Where exactly do I find Miscellaneous Income in my federal return?

[alectimmerman]

In the left panel, click Federal->Wages and income-> scroll down to miscellaneous income

Edit--> other reportable income

Type in MN Frontline worker pay, and 487

Then click State return, and Prepare State Return. Do the whole thing over and it will prompt you if you did the frontline pay on your federal. Say yes, fill it out, and that's it

On the federal return - go to Less Common Income and then Other Reportable Income.

I got a message from Mn Dept of Revenue it’s only taxable in federal

I put my wife and I total down on state and not federal. Will I have just amend federal when accepted?

[MarilynG1]

Wait until you have received your Federal refund before Amending your Federal return. 

The Amended Return does not 'catch up' with your original return and correct it.  It's processed separately and can take several weeks to complete.

What section in Turbotax do we enter this? I was thinking under Wages & Income- 1099MISC and Other Common Income 

Instructions say:

How do I report Frontline Worker Pay on my 2022 tax returns?

This payment:

• Is taxable federally. Report it on line 8 of federal Schedule 1 (Form 1040).

Thanks! 

Would be a helpful update 😉 for guidance of those that received it. 

[MaryK4]

Line 8 is for Other Income- if you enter it as above in TurboTax, TurboTax will report it on the correct line.  You can always check what your actual return looks like before you file, see How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?

Well, I already filed for my wife and I so I will have to wait to amend my federal in February. 

Thanks
