"OthType" refers to Other Subtractions. This is why the field below line 10 on the M1PR is colored (blue on my computer), to encourage you to make an entry there.

The problem is apparently with the entry for MN Frontline Worker's Program Payment. In the MN interview, there appeared to be a non-valid character that resembled a zero (but wasn't a capital O). But changing it to zero did not help.

Restart the MN interview and proceed to the screen with the heading "Frontline Worker Pay". Delete the character in the box so that the box is empty.

You should now be able to pass the Review for federal and State.
