State tax filing

Aha!  I suspect u may be right and that it's a vestige that is hanging around for the Max version.  Based on the fact that XX was not flagged in the single state 1099-INT, but in the 8-state 1099-INT, I think I'll edit the form entry from MX to XX and see whether that gets me past Smart Check.  The total for the 8-state is correct.  

Thank you in advance for your persistence, SteamTrain.  Much appreciated!  Ed
