Whoa, let's back up a little. In the federal 1099-DIV entry screen there is a check box to say you have other entries, in particular Box 12, exempt interest dividends. The next screen asks if a portion of the dividend includes US Government interest. If the mutual fund satisfies the 50% plus criterion, you check that box and enter US govt. interest on the next screen. The final screen asks you to identify the state or states the exempt interest dividends came from. Again, if the mutual fund satisfies the 50% plus criterion (and has state govt. and municipal bond income) you enter the various state components. Otherwise you leave it blank.
