You are correct the amount will be Federal Taxable Income and MN will not be sending out forms 1099 since the amount is below $600. Therefore you will enter that pay as "Other reportable income."
The income is not taxable by MN so you will be asked to enter the payment amount in the MN interview as well so that a subtraction will be made on your MN return.
