Where do I enter Income from Governmental obligations that are taxable on federal and not taxable on Alabama?

On my brokerage statement it says, "Potential State Tax Exclusions from Governmental Obligations." Where do I enter this amount?

It depends. Verify the deductions to which you are entitled. US Obligations and if you are an AL resident, AL municipal bonds qualify.

  • If you have a 1099-INT, entered as a federal obligation - no adjustment necessary. 
  • If you have a 1099-DIV, be sure to select a portion of the dividends are interest and enter the amount.

Follow these steps:

  1. You can select none of these apply -unless you have federal obligations then select it. 
  2. The next screen will allow you to make the state adjustment you need. 
  3. Select that you earned exempt interest-dividends in more than one state.
  4. Select PA and enter the amount
  5. Select the bottom option of multiple states and enter the remainder
