The Minnesota Frontline Worker payment is not covered under the IRS exemption for payments related to general welfare and disaster relief because only frontline workers are eligible for the payment. General welfare and disaster relief payments are paid out to all residents, generally with some income limits.
That’s why it is taxable on your federal return.
To add Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay to federal:
- Select Federal in the left column
- Tap Wages & Income
- Scroll down to Less Common Income
- Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
- Select Other reportable Income
- Say Yes to “Any Other Taxable Income”
- On “Other Taxable Income,” enter MN Frontline as the description and the amount
To remove Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay from your MN return:
- Continue in Minnesota until you see the screen “Frontline Worker Pay”
- Enter the Payment Amount (Do not enter an amount unless the payment was included in your federal income)
