Issue with MN Property Tax Refund - M1PR Form

When filing out information for my MN state return, I noticed an issue with the Property Tax Refund-Homeowner section. In this section it states, "You told us you were a MN homeowner in 2015" and then you are asked if all 4 options apply to you. If you answer "Yes", you go to the next screen where you need to verify all the assistance program payments you received (MFIP, MSA, SSI, GA, GRH). You can't proceed to the next question unless you enter in a number larger than "1" even though these assistance program payments are not common for most homeowners. Even though you should be entering a "0" because you didn't receive any payment assistance, you are forced to enter a number larger than "1" in order to proceed with the M1PR form. However, if you leave the field blank and don't enter any number and then and press "Continue", Turbo Tax lets you proceed. You should be able to enter a "0" in this section without running into errors.
