State tax filing
are you using desktop? you can do it forms mode but Easy Step may be easier if doing it for the first time
in Easy Step go to Wages & Income / I'll Choose What I Work On / "Update" on the 1099-DIV section, this should bring up the list of investment income then scroll to that Payer / 1099-DIV click on the box and then click Edit. after you hit Continue after the 1099 boxes you'll get the additional questions and screen for muni info.
(the 1099 navigation can be a bit squirelly after all the workflow changes they've done)
One rub there is a bug where it can stuck thinking it's all IL exempt even after you enter all the state info, this is where Forms mode can be helpful to check, the very last line of Box 12 on the 1099-DIV worksheet has a line "state where the dividends were earned" which needs to have XX not IL otherwise it ignores the state breakdown, e.g. for VA below. But check your state return to see whether it is being reflected correctly or not.
all state exempt for VA
need "XX" on last line to use the table
