The following was from the info bubble on filing federal 1040,
Dividends from U.S. Government Bonds
The U.S. government taxes income you receive on its own bonds. Your state does NOT tax income from U.S. government bonds, but each state defines government bonds differently. You should check to see if any part of these dividends is taxable in your state. This information is usually included with the 1099 you received from your broker. You may also be able to get this information from your mutual fund company's website.
Based on this information, enter an adjustment for the amount your state does NOT tax, and the TurboTax State program will subtract this amount from your state income.
So with that said, on my 1099-DIV from fidelity, line 13,14,15 are blank. So I assume State of Massachusetts is NOT taxing me on US bond interest, so why am I suppose to determine if there is any amount that they would not tax me on and include that in the input screen? (My 1099-INT from fidelity was completely blank, NO figures).
