Yes. The Minnesota Frontline Worker Bonus is taxable on your federal return, but is not taxable by Minnesota.

Here’s how to enter your Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay in TurboTax.

Where do I enter in the information here stating that I did in fact received the Frontline Worker Pay. It should be on line 8 of Federal. where are the line numbers?

To add Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay to federal:

Select Federal in the left column
Tap Wages & Income
Scroll down to Less Common Income
Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
Select Other reportable Income
Say Yes to “Any Other Taxable Income”
On “Other Taxable Income,” enter MN Frontline as the description and the amount

To remove Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay from your MN return:

Continue in Minnesota until you see the screen “Frontline Worker Pay”

When you enter, it is in the Income section for:
Less Common Income
Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and use Other reportable income

If you enter it in Other reportable income, it will not require an EIN.

Thank you. I reported under Other reportable income (found under Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.) When I tried filing taxes it requested to mail in or correct on line. See below? Is this correct?

Actually, there is a much better way to report this. Here is how to report.

Log into Turbo Tax
Go to federal>wages and income.
Go to 1099 MISC and Other Common Income>
income from 1099 MISC
Enter the 1099 MISC information
Once the entries are made, the program will ask questions regarding the nature of the 1099 Misc.
There are questions asked if this is like your main job and did you have the intent to earn money? if you answer yes to one or both of these questions, then you will be taxed for your share of FICA taxes as well normal federal taxation for the income.
On the question on if your intent was to make money, you must ask yourself did you expect to make money from this or did you do this as a public service
if you intended to make money from this activity, you may claim certain expenses against the income but would need to upgrade to Turbo Tax Self-Employed to claim the self-employed expenses. The expenses though would help reduce your taxable income thus your federal and FICA taxes are reduced also.
if you do not wish to claim expenses against your income, you can stay in the Turbo Tax Deluxe version.

Thank. The question should have been frontline worker pay in Minnesota and word bonus should have not been in the question is 1099 MISC the correct way to report?

Yes, it is the correct way to report if you received a 1099 MiSC. I did some addtional research and this type of income is not subject to FICA taxes because it is classified as other income. I read this on this Minnesota State website. This is accomplished by stating that you did not have an intent to earn money when that question is asked.

Tif you did not receive a 1099 MiSC, report it as other income. by doing the following.

Go to federal>income and expenses>all income>>show more
Less Common Income> Start
Miscellaneous Income,>start
Other reportable income>start
Next screen asks Any Other Taxable Income>yes
The next screen will allow you to report the income with a brief explanation.
Call it Minnesota front line worker pay and then list the amount.
