Do I have to list every state listed on my 1099-DIV if I live in CA?

[belle22361]

My 1099-DIV lists every state with a % as opposed to a $ amount.

No.  Make only two entries. Show only the dividends allotted to CA. Then, total the rest as "Multiple States" ("more than one state”  in the  desktop program) 

[SteamTrain]

ooooo...maybe "Multiple States" for all of it....unless it is a CA-specific fund, or heavily weighted to CA bonds.

___________

For a 1099-DIV, CA requires ....For the bond fund that reports the tax-exempt interest on a 1099-DIV , that Fund must contain at least 50% of its assets as CA-only bonds  before you can break out the CA-bond amount.   Otherwise all of it must be tagged "Multiple states"

(The same limit does not apply box 8 on a 1099-INT since those are individual bonds you own...not a fund).
