Generally, the total of your tax-exempt interest should go to Schedule 1, Line 3. However, there are exceptions. 

Per the IT-40 booklet, interest earned from obligations held or acquired before Jan. 1, 2012, isn't subject to Indiana income tax and shouldn't be reported as an add-back. Note. Interest earned from obligations of Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or Northern Mariana is not included in federal gross income and is exempt under federal law. There is no addback for interest earned on these obligations.

If this doesn't address your question, I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
