There are two entries in the Minnesota state return with regard to student loan information.
The first screen asks about the amount that you paid toward the student loan (including principal and interest). The second screen asks for the total original loan amount. On this screen you would enter no more than $5000.
If both screens are not completed, the credit may not be calculated correctly and result in the error message you are seeing.
