Yeah...in interview mode...for the prior year value interest (2020)
For the 2020 column:
... the 1099-INT value is the total of boxes 1+3+8 PLUS box 11 from the 2020 1099-DIV forms.
...the 1099-DIV value is just the total for boxes 1a of the prior year -DIV forms
For the 2021 Column:
The 1099-INT only includes all boxes 1+3+8 of the 1099-INT forms
The 1099-DIV entry includes all boxes 1a and box 11 together

SO they moved the prior year box 11 from 1099-DIV into the 1099-INT value.
They've done this for at least the past 10 years...and a few people catch it and wonder what's up.
I've mumbled at TTX to change that behavior, but perhaps the mess-o-programming is just too much
........perhaps they pull the prior year exempt interest directly from the line 2a of the 2020 1040....and that line doesn't distinguish between the two possible sources. Too much trouble to split them up in the summary data transfer.
