If you own your mutual fund/ETF in a taxable account and are paid interest, you will receive a Form 1099-INT at year's end. Interest you receive from U.S. Savings Bonds and Treasury obligations will be reported in Box 3 of that form. Just enter the form into the appropriate section of TurboTax.

Yes you have to figure out any US Govt Obligations dividends yourself. When you get the 1099 from the mutual fund company there should be a sheet giving the state percentages for each fund. But last year for 2022 Vanguard didn't include the sheet and I had to get it online from their website. You get the percent and multiply it by your dividend. Here's a sheet I made for Vanguard.

Like here's the 2022 Tax Info for Vanguard. They won't post 2023 until later in January.

You probably have to find it online at Fidelity. Everything is going online these days.

...ANNND...

I don't know about ETFs, but for Mutual Funds, the $$ are reported as a sub-part of the total $$ in box 1a of a 1099-DIV form . Then you have to calculate yourself, the proper US Govt $$ amount based on all your holdings, the $$ reported for each of your holdings from the Consolidated 1099-B Supplemental forms.
