Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Dividends

[user17739526876]

Dividends from my Fidelity account are 50% exempt from the Pennsylvania tax revenue.  When I make this adjustment on my federal form it DOES NOT appear on my PA tax return. I tried serval times now no luck is there anyway of making the adjustment directly on the State Forms?

are you referring to MM fund dividends, 50% sounds like SPAXX.  Just to confirm - what adjustment did you make... after 1099-DIV input there is a supplementary question where you provide the US Gov Obligations $ amount in Box 1a.

I tried that it still does not come through to the PA tax forms if you  try to make an adjustment in the PA tax forms. It will not allow you to do that either
