I'm not certain if I need to file my property (Real Estate) taxes with my state, Minnesota, still. I swear that I entered it in, but was told to file separately.

I entered box 10 of my 1098 when prompted to. Though TurboTax informed me that I would need to file it separately for the state of Minnesota. Is there anyway to insure that I'm not filing twice, or what form that I still need to send in?

Real estate taxes appear on your federal income tax as an itemized deduction.  What TurboTax is talking about in "file separately" is a state property tax refund.  See http://www.revenue.state.mn.us/individuals/prop_tax_refund/Pages/File-and-Pay.aspx for info on that separate credit.
