State tax filing

Edit your 1099-DIV form again.....back in the Federal section

On a page after that 1099-DIV main page, there is a page with check boxes....you need to check the one:

"A portion of these dividends is U.S.Government interest"

Then continue to the next page where you indicate the $$ amount that was from US Bonds....you have to calculate that $$ amount from whatever data the Mutual Fund provided  to you.  That's how the proper amount is determined for transfer to be included on line 22 of the IL Sched M (along with any other values, like from box 3 on a 1099-INT...if any)

____________*Answers are correct to the best of my knowledge when posted, but should not be considered to be legal or official tax advice.*
