@SusanY1 Thank you, this is very good to know. I revisited my federal returns to see how my 1099-DIV info was entered. It turns out that Turbotax had box 12 blank while the other boxes had zero (if applicable). So I entered zero into box 12. I went back to my state returns and still noticed that my California returns had $179 listed as exempt-interest dividends in the Income & Adjustments section. I decided to change my answer for the exempt-interest question by answering "Yes" and entering 0 in the Less Than 50% Exempt-Interest Dividends box. This erased the $179 from my Income & Adjustments section. Then, I backed out of this section and clicked on "Go over California again" to see if the exempt-interest question re-appeared, which it did not. So hopefully the issue is resolved now.
