SteamTrain,
Thank you! It's finally correct. I deleted the original 1099-DIV which adjusted my NC refund up to my total estimated tax paid. I then re-entered it exactly as I did the first time and after advancing the NC refund recalculated to the lowest amount I've seen so far, which was a good sign.
I then initiated a review to check the return and got a Good to go reply.
I printed the PDF and examined both federal and NC treatment of the exempt interest and both look right now. Federal is unchanged which is fine because it was correct before. The NC D-400 now has the exempt interest in the Additions line and zero in the Deductions line which is what I wanted.
I really appreciate your help. What a relief this is.
Maurice
