Indiana Out of State Muni obligation Interest

[firstchillzilla]

I know I need to report income from interest earned on Out of State Municipal obligations on my Indiana taxes.

The question i what is the number I report.  I get a 1099- INT with the Tax free interest for my federal taxes.  Bu there is also a Bond Premium number on that 1099-INT that reduces to actual amount of tax free interest that goes into Line 2a of the 1040.  here's an example in round numbers:

Total tax free interest on 1099-INT Box 8  $10000

Bond Premium total 1099-INT box 13            6400

Total tax free interest on Form 1040 line2a  3600

Is the $3400 the amount I report on my Indiana IT-40 Schedule1?

I would think since the total Interest reported to Fed's is reduced by the Bond Premium, the then amount reported to Indiana would be calculated the same way.  Indiana Dept of Revenue was of no help.

Thanks in advance...

Report the $3,600 on line 3 of Indiana IT-40 Schedule1.  See that only $3,600 is reported on line 2a of the 2022 Federal 1040 tax return.

In addition, the IRS Instructions for Forms 1099-INT and 1099-OID makes clear that the reporting of income in Box 8 Tax-Exempt Interest and Box 13 Bond Premium on Tax-Exempt Bond are inter-related.

The IRS Instructions for Forms 1099-INT and 1099-OID page 4 states:

Box 13 Bond Premium on Tax-Exempt Bond

For a tax-exempt covered security acquired at a premium, enter the amount of bond premium amortization allocable to the interest paid during the tax year. 

If you reported a net amount of interest in box 8 or 9, whichever is applicable, leave this box blank.
