Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The software has a sort-of bug for assigning those number from 1099-DIV forms (not a problem for 1099-INT forms).
1) Go back to the problem 1099-DIV form and Edit it.
2) when you get to the state breakdown page for the Tax Exempt $$, click on the "One State" bullet point
3) Set that One State bullet point to be "Multiple States" (it likely showed GA before).
4) Select the second bullet point, check those numbers (should still be there) and hit the "Continue" button.
(doesn't take effect until you hit "Continue")
The $$ added back to GA should be OK now.
____________________________
On a 1099-DIV, a "GA" in the first bullet seems to take priority, in spite of how you selected and did the state breakdown instead.
On a 1099-INT (for Tax-exempt $$ in box 8), the selection to use the state breakdown, takes precedence, no matter how the One State bullet point was initially set.
