On Treasury Direct held US Saving Bonds, TT will not recognize "Treasury Direct, US Treasury or US Savings Bonds". Remedy?

How can I enter US Savings Bond interest when TT will not create a field for Treasury?

If you are entering government bond interest, it will be either a 1099-INT with the interest in box 3 or 1099-DIV with box 12.

See another post of mine here with the steps and screen shots to enter your information.

1099-div box 12 is income exempt at the federal level like Muni Bonds. US Govt.  Obligations would be reported in Box 1.
