State tax filing

It might depend on what state is involved:

...but if you removed the accrued interest you paid to the seller on the Federal tax forms...that should automatically be reflected in the state forms.  i.e. There should be a subtraction somewhere on the state form for that that equals = (Interest received) minus (Accrued interest paid)

__________

A warning though.....IF the 1099-INT you are entering, also has any box1 or box 8 $$ along with your box 3 entry and accrued interest...you need to take the box 3, 12, $$ out of that 1099-INT, and put it on a separate 1099-INT before you report the accrued interest you paid the seller.  If you don't, the accrued interest will be proportionally applied to the box 1,3,and 8 values.
