I'll do my best. In the Wages and Income section, Turbotax shows the 2018 totals for 1099-INT, 1099-DIV,...on down the line. An example, numbers have been changed to protect the innocent.... Turbotax shows $4000 for 2018 1099-INT. On my Schedule B for 2018, I had entered interest from various financial institutions 1099-INT and they totaled $2500. So is there a problem? Don't guess so....looked back at the 2018 1040 and there is an entry for $1500 in box 2a (tax exempt interest). I didn't enter it there, it had been picked up from a download from an investment institution I interface with. Tax exempt interest is not entered on Schedule B but must be noted on the 1040. Turbotax apparently combines tax exempt interest and taxable interest and therein lay my confusion.
