I'm guessing, but other than a fix in the software...(if they knew how it was "supposed" to be done)
....did you try two separate tax forms from the same provider?

Say it's tax-exempt $$ in box 8 on a 1099-INT, with $1500...consisting of $500 total from UT and states UT allows to be deducted, and $1000 from all the other states.
Create two 1099-INT forms,
A) one with all the boxes and $1000 in box 8...assigned in the follow-up page as "More than one state" at the bottom of the one-state list of states. (The Online software uses the term "Multiple States...but same thing)
........and then
B) a second one with just the $500 in box 8, all assigned as UT in the follow-up page.
The issue for a 1099-INT is that if you have $$ in box 13, those may need to be split up too.

If from a Bond Mutual fund where the Tax-Exempt $$ are in box 13 of a 1099-DIV.....you could split those up int two 1099-DIV forms too.

Worth a try.
