Thanks for providing the token. The line in question on your Colorado Form 104, line 9, is non-Colorado municipal bond interest.
Colorado starts with your Federal taxable income. Municipal bond interest is not taxable at a Federal level so it won't be included in your Federal taxable income. Municipal bond interest that comes from within a state is typically non-taxable to that state, but municipal bond income that is not from your state is taxable to your state. This rule does hold for Colorado, so the amount on line 9 of Form 104 is non-Colorado municipal bond interest that was not Federally taxable.
If you go to Other Mod Stmt in Forms mode, and right click on line 3a, then click Data Source, you get this explanation:
"From federal Schedule B, Interest and Dividends, Interest Income Worksheet, Box 8 amounts with a State ID other than CO, GU (Guam), PR (Puerto Rico) and VI (Virgin Islands); from Schedule B, Exempt-Interest Dividends Smart Worksheet, amounts with a State ID other than CO, GU (Guam), PR (Puerto Rico) and VI (Virgin Islands); and from Schedule K-1 Worksheets for Partnerships, S Corporations and Estates, Tax-Exempt Interest Income with a State Name other than CO, GU (Guam), PR (Puerto Rico) and VI (Virgin Islands). This total amount is reduced by related adjustment amounts on the 1099-INT Worksheet which have an adjustment type associated with them."
I did notice that you had a 1099-DIV that had municipal bond interest that was all allocated to Multiple States - if any part of that interest is from Colorado, it will not be taxable in Colorado.
Also, if you received any interest or dividends on any of those forms that are interest income from US debt obligations such as Treasury bills, then that interest, while taxable on your Federal return, is not taxable on your Colorado return. Fidelity and other mutual fund companies will usually send along a statement in your tax forms that will tell you the % of dividends or interest that is from US debt obligations. If they don't, you can look up that information online using the ticker symbol. You can apply that % to the total dividends and interest on that statement to get the US government debt interest. When you have that, you can go back into each statement in TurboTax and click past that has the $ figures on your form, you'll get a screen "Do these uncommon situations apply?", you can check the box "A portion of these dividends is US Government interest, then click Continue. On the next screen, you can enter the $ amount of the interest or dividends that are US government interest, then continue. That will automatically get applied as a subtraction of income for Colorado.
