I cannot find where to enter this information, but I received an email stating I am required to report it federally.

Frontline Worker Pay is entered in the Wages and Income section:

Select Less Common Income, at the bottom
Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
Select Other reportable Income
Use description Frontline and the amount

If this is in Minnesota, it will not be taxable on your state return. Please see additional information at Frontline Worker Pay Website.

When you enter your return for MN, you will be asked if you received income from the MN Frontline Worker Pay because it is not taxable on the state return.

However, the IRS had a press release on Feb 3rd that they are reviewing the taxability of state payments such as Frontline Worker Pay. You may wish to wait until that is reviewed and they give revised guidelines for reporting. It may change entry into the return in TurboTax.

The IRS is aware of questions involving special tax refunds or payments made by states in 2022; we are working with state tax officials as quickly as possible to provide additional information and clarity for taxpayers. There are a variety of state programs that distributed these payments in 2022 and the rules surrounding them are complex. We expect to provide additional clarity for as many states and taxpayers as possible next week.

It is saying that in order for me to do that, I have to upgrade to the Live Deluxe. Is there necessary for this since I am required to add this to my federal return?

The free version of TurboTax is meant to handle very limited tax situations. Whether you have to file a form or not is separate from whether you can use the free version.

For example, if you receive unemployment, self-employment or income from selling stocks, you must report those on your return, but you will have to upgrade.

You do need to file a return with Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay because the amount is reported to IRS and they will be looking for it on your tax return.

If you do not wish to upgrade, you can file your taxes through the IRS Free File alliance. TurboTax is not a member of this program so I can’t tell you whether or not your situation will be covered under the free file agreement.
