Minnesota exempts bond interest on US Agency bonds. The exemption seems similar to other states where TT enables a dropdown box to select the state and "choose type of special state handling". No such option in TT for Minnesota holders of US Agency Bonds that I can find. Last year I was able to manually override cells in the state TT portion keeping the correct amount in the federal TT box 1 Interest Income. Two questions. One: how can I reflect a Minnesota exemption for US Agency Bond interest - what steps do I take for this years' filing? and Two: it seems people from a variety of states keep running into the same issue with state US Agency Bond interest exemptions - why can't all these states be listed in the dropdown list rather than going to the state filing and struggling with solves if they even exist?....or giving up and paying excess tax on a state tax exemption? Thanks.
