If the section 179 is related to IA, then it should be allocated with the related income. However, your resident state for MN will tax all of your return activity, but you'll get credit for taxes paid to another state so that you are not double taxed. In TurboTax, first, complete entering all federal income and then be sure to update your IA return first and then MN.

Additionally, states have their own rules when it comes to special depreciation, which is why the software will ask about it in the federal side. However, you should have a statement attached with your schedule K-1 if different state limitations apply (because otherwise you won't have the necessary. For your states:

IA follows federal, but they have lower overall limitations (which won't affect most taxpayers). See here: https://tax.iowa.gov/section-179-expensing-faqs
MN follows federal, but has a similar lower overall limitation, as well. See here: http://www.revenue.state.mn.us/individuals/individ_income/Pages/Section_179_Expensing_Addition.aspx
