Schedule b state id OID interest-9, box 9, Private Activity Bond, requires an ID. What is this, and where do I find it?

This would just be the state abbreviation (e.g. AL, CA, NY, FL, etc.) of the state where you received  tax-exempt interest.    This information is usually included in supplemental information sent with your 1099-DIV.

If you know which state paid the interest, select it from the "drop-down" menu.

If you don't know which state paid the interest, you can select "More than One State", the last option on the drop-drown menu.

(If you do not have a drop-down menu, enter "XX" for "More than One state").
