Hello, I am wondering where in the 1099-DIV section I need to enter the dividends derived from US government obligations which are exempt from state income taxes?

Hello, I am wondering where in the 1099-DIV section I need to enter the dividends derived from US government obligations which are exempt from state income taxes?

You can enter exempt-interest dividends by following these steps -
  • Log into TurboTax and click Take Me to My Return (you must click this button or you won't get the jump to link below)
  • Click the search icon (upper right corner of your TurboTax screen) 
  • Search for “1099DIV" and click "jump to 1099DIV".  This will bring you to the right section.
  • Proceed to the entry screen and when you get there you will see a screen that contains a box “My form has more info than Box 1 (this is uncommon)”
  • Check this box and a new field will open up which will allow you to enter Box 10 Exempt-interest dividends
  • In the following screens after this entry, you will be prompted to select the source (state) of these dividends (or you can choose the entry for "more the one state" from the drop-down menu, which is common)
