You don't actually have to go to Forms Mode to enter those $$....you cans do it directly in the normal interview. (Desktop only..."Online" can't do it that way at all...as they have no "Forms Mode", so they must use the Q&A interview)
__________
1) If it's from US savings bonds, or US Treasury bonds you own, those interest $$ go in box 3 of a 1099-INT form....and then those $$ automatically show up on the NC D400 Schd S, and included in the subtractions from NC income.
____
BUT...what you may be referring to is the US Govt bond interest, distributed from Mutual funds, or ETFs that are included as a sub-part of the $$ in box 1a of a 1099-DIV.
2) When entering a 1099-DIV with box 1a $$ on it, and IF a portion of those $$ came from US Bond interest/dividends, you just enter all of the 1099-DIV as-is, then continue to the pages that follow. On one of the following pages the is a series of checkboxes....and you check the one for "A portion of these dividends is US Government interest". then on one of the pages that follows you will enter the $$ amount you calculated that came from US Govt bonds....and then those $$ automatically show up on the NC D400 Schd S, and included in the subtractions from NC income.
