When I try to follow those steps, it says I need to upgrade to Deluxe. Is there a way to enter my Frontline Worker Pay with the free version? I really don't want to pay $60 just to enter it.

@abbyst2000 Please see the response from ErnieS0 regarding MN Frontline Worker Pay.

Solved: I need to report frontline worker pay on line 8 of federal Schedule 1 (Form 1040). Where can...

[abbyst2000]

@ChondelLO I followed those instructions but when I clicked on "other reportable income" it says "To accurately complete your taxes, you need to upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe". Is there a way to input this information on the free version of TurboTax? 

[ChondelLO]

No. If the program is prompting you to upgrade, then you won't be able to input that information using the free version of TurboTax. @abbyst2000

i have the same problem.  I reported on fed and they accepted it but it will not let me subtract it on MN state.  A 2/9 update was supposed to take care of this and it was sucessfully downloaded but it did NOT correct the problem.

If doing what you are telling me to do, input MN frontline workerpay, then TurboTax won't let me use the FREE edition, Turbotax wants me to upgrade for $54 plus state is no longer free as well, just to add MN Frontline workerpay. This is ridiculous. Is there any way around this?

Thanks

Same issue here.  I deleted  Frontline Worker Pay amount of $487 from Line 8 Schedule 1. Re-enterd the amount & got the same error message on the MN State side.  On schedule M1M line 29, in forms, can delete the amount  which increases State Tax.

Did you follow the instructions by @HopeS above? If you have and getting the same error, please click here to contact us by phone so we can better assist you. @brian-hoff-57 

[Mormoua1962]

Yes, But I had to pay to upgrade,$90,  just to add the & $487 MN frontline worker pay.  And had to pay for the state too. I thought about going to taxfree but I already entered all my info in already so I didn't want to spend another hour imputing my info in again. 

I did call customer service and they offered a 20% off service code, Not the 100% off code that I was hoping for. lol, like others had mention. 

Maybe next year I'll go elsewhere. $90 just to add and subtract a few lines of amount seems way to high for me.

[Mormoua1962]

I bit the bullet and upgraded so I could add the $487. It went from free to about $90 with the state. This is after calling customer service and got a 20% off service code. The MN frontline worker pay doesn't seem as good now. 

Seems super high just to add and calculate a few line of amount.

I was very tempted to go elsewhere like freetax.

Good luck with yours.

What if you've already paid and filed and you've gotten the rejection back.  Can you still delete and start over without paying again?

[KristinaK]

You cannot. Please see this article How do I clear and start over in TTO?
