I am aware of the section "Here's the Income that Illinois Handles Differently" However there is not a category for interest that is tax exempt by states - only a category for Retirement income.
Perhaps there is a section in the Federal 1040 that would identify federal interest and EE Bonds and prompt the creation of a section in the state return - but I do not see anything.
I am able to force such a category by locating a Schedule M Form and manually entering the interest - need to override the line 22 amount in Schedule M in order to enter the total interest for EE Bonds and Treasury Bill interest.
However this seems very strange because all federal interest is exempt in all states. Do not know why Turbo tax does not explicitly handle the category. Perhaps I am missing something.
