State tax filing

Well...it appears to do so properly for my NC tax return.  I can't know that it transfers properly to all state's software.

_________________________________________

1) You enter/edit your 1099-DIV where  a portion of box 1a was from US govt dividends/interest.

2)   You enter all the data in all the boxes shown on the 1099-DIV.

3)  as you "Continue" on to a page after the main set of box entries, you have a checkbox page where you check a box for "A portion of these dividends is US Government interest"

4) when you "Continue" from that page, there will be an entry you can make for entering the sub-portion of box 1a that represents US Govt interest received by the mutual fund(s) you hold.  You do have to calculate the exact $$ amount yourself from the data your mutual fund(s) provide.

You may have to print out your state forms to see where it is removed...or perhaps not transferred to the state forms in the first place....but I suspect most states it will be a state income deduction somewhere in there.
