Get your taxes done using TurboTax

State ID for box 8 $$??

_______

Box 8 $$ are for interest received from Municipal bonds you own.

The follow-up page asks what state those $$ came from....not for an ID number.

 

IF the Muni bonds you own in that account were issued by states other than your own, or if you live in a non-income-taxing state...you just go to the bottom of the list of States and select "Multiple States"

_______

IF you live in an income-taxing state, and some of the bonds you own were issued by your own state (and any US territories), you can sometimes save yourself some state taxes by breaking out those $$ from your own state as follows  (example for an NC resident, using Desktop software)
