To get credit for taxes paid in another state, Minnesota requires a copy of the tax return filed with the other state. If I efile in that state, will TurboTax automatically attach a copy to my efiled Minnesota return? If I file on paper in the second state, can I attach a copy of that return to my efiled Minnesota return?

Yes, you can file up to 5 states in TurboTax Online. If you are paper filing the other state, however, you will not be able to attach the other state return to your e-filed Minnesota return.

That may be different if the other state was Michigan or North Dakota in your case: What is a state reciprocal agreement?

Otherwise, for filing a paper return, see:

If I efile both the Minnesota and the other state--Colorado--returns, will TurboTax attach a copy of the Colorado return to the Minnesota return? (Minnesota requires this to get credit for the Colorado tax.)
