New York State Return - How to handle Mutual Fund that invested in US Gov Obligations?

[pwjone1]

I have some Vanguard Mutual Funds that are invested in US Government Obligations, and the Vanguard advice is to

"Check with your state or local tax office or with your tax advisor to determine if your state allows you to exclude some or all of the income you earn from mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations."

So two questions:

1. Anyone know if New York State allows adjustments to mutual fund dividends that are from U.S. government obligations
   
   
2. If so, how do I enter the exclusion on the Federal/State TurboTax Forms or Step by Step?

I did find this:

https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/memos/income/m95_4i.pdf 

(after much searching)

I would assume Vanguard is a "regulated investment company", and the funds in question are above 50% U.S. Government (one is 77%, another 99%) obligations, but I am not a tax-speak type of person.
