Calculating "US government obligations" that are exempt from state tax

When calculating US Government Obligations to deduct from state tax, do I add both ordinary income and capital gains prior to applying  the US Government Obligations percentage? Thank you very much for your comments.

Contact your broker and ask them for the correct information. The math does not work that way.
