State tax filing

@xxxxxcxxxxxxxx 

 

The selection for "My state doesn't tax all of the interest" ?

 

That selection only applies to the states listed for interest that appears in box 1 of a 1099-INT, where that interest comes from certain "In-state" banks and credit unions located in their own state.   Most states will tax the interest from bank consumer accounts, no matter where the bank is located.

 

Interest from US Govt T-bills you own, or even US Savings bonds, should be listed in box 3 of the 1099-INT you received....and when entered there in box 3, those $$ are automatically either excluded, or subtracted by the software, from any state's taxable income in that state's tax return.
