I have a couple of Treasury bond ETFs/MFs (e.g., GOVT). Treasury bond interest is tax free at the state level, but I'm fairly sure the income from these funds will be reported by the brokerage as dividends on a 1099-DIV rather than on Line 3 of a 1099-INT. Assuming that's the case, is that income still NYS tax free? If yes, where in the NYS interview do enter the data that will appear on Line 28 of NY IT-201, or should I just enter it directly onto the form?
Thanks
