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.

Click "Wages & Income" in the left-hand menu
Scroll down to "Less Common Income"
"Show More"
"Start" Miscellaneous Income
Scroll to "Other Reportable Income"
"Start"
Enter "MN Frontline Pay" and the amount
Continue to complete the topic interview
Click "State" in the Left-hand menu
Click "Your State Returns"
Continue MN
Click through to the page for the MN Frontline Pay
Enter the same amount you entered in the federal interview
Complete the state interview

As for the mortgage interest deduction, that is entered in the "Deductions and Credits" section. Scroll to "Your Home" and in the dropdown you will find "Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098).

The 1040 form is the federal IRS form which is the tax return you are filling out to send to the IRS.
