Retirement tax questions

Let TurboTax sort the interest to the correct categories by entering Form 1099-INT as received.

 

Nearly all interest would be taxable at the federal level, but may not be when amounts are reported in  Box 3 or Box 8.

 

The interest would be designated as tax-exempt to your state on Form 1099-INT. The supporting details from the year-end statement will show which state had the tax-exempt interest. 

 

By looking through these details, you will be able to answer the questions from the TurboTax interview.
