State tax filing
IF the $$ are reported by Mutual funds, and not individual bonds you hold....then those $$ are reported in box 1a of a 1099-DIV form...BUT, box 1a contains $$ from lots of other stuff too, even stocks.
BUT..
When you entered your 1099-DIV form in the federal section, did you notice that on a page AFTER the main 1099-DIV for, there is a selection box for "A portion of these dividends is U.S. Government interst" ? (Go back and edit that 1099-DIV form again.)
You select that box, and then on the next page you enter the $$ amount that YOU calculated came from US Govt bonds in your various Funds......based on the % of the distribution from that fund that the fund publishes. That should automatically include those $$ amounts as being VA -exempt on the VA forms. The total $$ in box 1a of the form 1099-DIV can come from various sources, so you have to use your supplemental sheets to determine that exact amount.
