Thank you @AmyC for your response; others have chimed in with additional information, (@baldietax @SteamTrain, @rjs) and I'm becoming confused as to how to proceed. Initially you had commented thtat Turbotax Deluxe automatically handled my situation of interest from US Government secutites not being taxed by my state (Oregon), implying that I didn't need to enter additional information provided by my mutual fund company (Fidelity). Is there is a way to find/verify that in TT Deluxe, or is that not neccesssarily the case?
SteamTrain showed screens dealing with this in Turobotax Premier (that post doesn't seem to show up in this thread anymore) but my TTDeluxe screens do not show similarly in my dialog. If I try to edit my Fidelity 1099-DIV information, the only relevant box that shows up is Box 12-Exempt Interest Dividends, and it contains a 0.00 value.in my 1099-DIV reported by Fidelity. Other posters suggest it's not a good idea to edit Box 12 in TTDeluxe, since that's not what Fidelity provided when reporting to IRS.
I hope the others might see this post as well, and pehaps provide some additional clarity as to how to proceed.
Thank You!
