I earned a small amount of exempt-interest dividends, some from nearly every state. Must I enter the state and the amount for every state or is that an option?

I earned a small amount of exempt-interest from nearly every state.  Must I enter the specific amount for each such state?

[DavidD66 · Accepted solution]

No.  You do not have to enter each state and the corresponding amount. After entering your 1099-INT, mark the button for "I earned tax-exempt interest in only one state."  From the drop down menu for state selection, scroll to the bottom and select "Multiple States".

I wasn't able to return to the point where I could test your answer.  TT had closed the questions and I couldn't find any way to reopen them, so I asked how that could be accomplished and am as yet (some four days) waiting for an answer.

Tax-exempt interest is interest income that is not subject to federal income tax.. The most common sources of tax-exempt interest come from municipal bonds or income-producing assets inside of Roth retirement accounts.

To revisit the interest section:

• Login to your account.
• Select Federal from the left menu
• Go to Wages and Income then Income and Expenses.
• Scroll down to Interest and Dividends.
• Select edit next to Interest on 1099-INT.
• Select edit next to the interest that you need to adjust
