My Tax Exempt Interest Dividends were imported. The correct amount shows in the Federal Return. However, there is a problem with CA. The issue is not the amount, I know which T-Ex Int Dividends are deductible for CA.
The problem is the following:
"Is any of this Interest from funds yada yada..."
There is no Interest that is Tax Exempt, period. But it shows the amount of my Tax Exempt Interest DIVIDENDS.
Then it asks same question but "Are any of these DIVIDENDS yada yada..."
2nd part is fine, I answer "Yes" & enter dollar amount of Interest Dividends NOT exempt for CA.
Problem is that in the first part, it refers to same dollar amount as Tax Interest Dividends. I cannot & do not wish to answer Yes in Part A because there is NO Tax Exempt Interest whatsoever. That figure should be $0.
In case you want to suggest I enter the full amount as being Non-Tax Exempt, that is not accurate either. There were none, so why would it refer to my Interest Dividends, when we are talking about DIVIDENDS, not Interest? There is no reason that figure should be popping up for both questions!
