3) One (or two) pages later, there are a series of checkboxes...and you check "A portion of these dividends is US Government bond interest".........and "continue"
4) Next page you put in the $ amount that is from US bonds...you have to calculate the exact $$ amount yourself form whatever info the Mutual fund sent you.
