Bug processing 1099-INT box 8 in windows desktop version of turbotax premier
Running windows desktop version of turbotax premier -If you enter tax exempt interest in box 8 of 1099-INT and press continue (twice) a pages asks for a breakdown of the total in box 8. If the tax exempt interest is from more than one state, you select the second radio button and enter the breakdown state by state. Upon completion it gives you an error message for the value of the first state you entered: "The total amount you entered doesn't equal your reported tax-exempt interest in Box 8 of your 1099-INT." This is a bug. Obviously, if the interest is from multiple states, none of the amounts for any given state can equal the amount in box 8.
This same bug is present in the software for 1099-DIV box 12 for tax exempt dividends.
Please fix this bug!!
