In the Minnesota state interview, you will come to a screen titled 'Income Allocations' displaying your Federal retirement income amount, and an entry for the MN amount.
You can exclude the amount of your MN public retirees income here.
In your Federal return, when you entered your 1099-R, you may have been asked if you were a Minnesota Public Employee. You could return to that section to review your entries.
