In order to be able to efile, I "backdoored it" by entering a dummy 1099 called adjustment whereby I put in equal offsetting numbers in the amount of the discount with a negative number in regular interest and a positive in US Treasury interest. So for example, if there was a $1,000 discount, then -1000 in regular interest and +1000 in treasury. They show up as two lines on the Sch B worksheet but do not change the total. Then the correct amount carried over to the Michigan and I did not have to override. This enabled me to efile. I did this because I had had already paid the file fee prior to me finding out that it would not let me efile with an override. Return was accepted, so looks like it worked.
