State tax filing

I was wrong.

Easy Step did not help me.

I went "to the form" instead and did the following

  1. restored the 1099-INT box 8 tax exempt interest total
  2. on the FORM, it then asks
    1. how much of that was for a state in which I'm a resident and filing taxes (I entered that)
    2. Use "XX" to indicate the total for all the other states in which I'm not a resident (the balance)
  3. With that, I went back and restored the Box 13 bond premium amount

There were no longer any errors, and as my friend used to say, "Bob's your uncle".
