Anybody ? Any suggestions ? It looks like it is exempt based on this - https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title15.2/chapter58/section15.2-5810/#:~:text=Bonds%20are%20tax%....

if it is does 1099-B broker import will flow correctly in TT ?

anyone any suggestions on if TT can handle treasury and agency bonds state tax exemption from 1099 B?

Most states don't exempt cap gains from US Treasuries or US "Agency" bonds.

A "rare" few do, if I recall, but I don't know about VA at all.

And the code you reference refers to the actual "Authorities" of the Commonwealth of VA not being subject to gains on the Bonds they happen to issue...not individuals.  (at least not in my reading of it)

Doesn't mean that somewhere else, VA might allow Cap gains generated from US, or US Agency bonds to be exempt from state taxes...BUT.... This requires someone especially knowledgeable in both the VA laws, AND how to deal with it in the VA tax software...(i.e. not I).

So you just have to wait and hope someone who knows VA will reply in the next few days.  Or continue researching on your own.

No, the capital gains are not exempt.  Only the interest would be eligible for exemption.
