Retirement tax questions

AS JamesG1 previously laid out in an excellent posting for reporting the Minnesota Frontline Worker pay, this will record the income and avoid the error you encountered.  As he laid out, the following should assist you:

To enter Minnesota Frontline Worker, follow these steps:

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
  • Click Show more to the right of Less Common Income.
  • Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A.
  • Select Other reportable Income.
  • As a description enter MN Frontline Worker Pay.

In the Minnesota tax return, remove the income at the screen Frontline Worker Pay.

 

This will show the income on the Federal return without being subject to Social Security and Medicare tax, and remove it from being taxable at the MN level.

 

If you try to enter it as a 1099-MISC it will again revert to being subject to Social Security and Medicare Tax.  The total income shown on the Federal return will be correct as you are claiming the income and the removal on the MN return will bring down your MN income to the correct level.
