Thanks. Obviously, this is not my strength. So after i do that calculation, taking the Ordinary divs * (% of the fund's income from u.s. obligations), and do that for any fund i own that qualifies, and add that all up, that is the number i enter. Ok, after that , it asks which state is the exempt divs from so that is regarding the municipal bond stuff. That is from many states. Ugh, i have to do like 20 entries i guess. Hats off to tax accountants. This stuff is time-consuming and not very efficient or clearly laid out.
