High or low?

 

IF High, then the $$ come from both 1099-INT (box 8  ) and 1099-DIV (box 12) forms...occasionally forms K-1 too.

_______

IF low (#1), then any $$ in box 13 of any 1099-INT will reduce the amount that ends up on line 2a of the 1040.

IF Low (#2), if you bought a specific Muni bond in 2023, that you paid some accrued interest to the seller...and you entered that during the entry of the 1099-INT...then that also subtracts from the final total .
