WI and MN no longer have a reciprocity agreement. no form M1CR. You just file a 1NPR,

But you still want to file the M1RCR to get credit in Minnesota for the taxes paid in Wisconsin.

I know what forms to file, it was so nice when it flowed from Federal to the states now I have to do it by hand

What do you have to do by hand?  I just did a MN resident working in WI return last night and the form auto populated.

I have not been able to get it to auto populate, that is my question  I did the federal non resident forms and it still does not

So you checked the nonresident box on the bottom of the federal information worksheet and noted Wisconsin as the nonresident state and the client is marked as being a resident of MN for the year?  You then prepared the WI return and it reported the proper WI withholding on the nonresident return?  Lastly, you are looking at the M1RCR instead of the M1CR?  If you have done all of that, it should flow automatically.
