When you enter your return for MN, you will be asked if you received income from the MN Frontline Worker Pay because it is not taxable on the state return.
However, the IRS had a press release on Feb 3rd that they are reviewing the taxability of state payments such as Frontline Worker Pay. You may wish to wait until that is reviewed and they give revised guidelines for reporting. It may change entry into the return in TurboTax.

The IRS is aware of questions involving special tax refunds or payments made by states in 2022; we are working with state tax officials as quickly as possible to provide additional information and clarity for taxpayers. There are a variety of state programs that distributed these payments in 2022 and the rules surrounding them are complex. We expect to provide additional clarity for as many states and taxpayers as possible next week.
