I have a mutual fund holding ~99% US treasuries and ~1% Fed Home Loan securities that paid dividends and a very small short-term capital gain from the fund's internal sales (not my sales). I have two questions on how to enter/adjust data to deduct the proper amount of Govt income for my state taxes:
1. Do I include both the US Treasury and the Fed Home Loan percentage listed on my broker's 1099 detail page in my calculation of Govt income exempt from state taxes?
2. Do I include only the "nonqualified dividend" income listed on my broker's supplemental information page, or do I also include the short-term capital gain listed with the dividends, in the calculation for state-tax exempt income? Both items are included on the broker's "Detail for Dividends and Distributions" for that fund.
Thank you.

No, don't include the Federal Home Loan percentage when you calculate the portion exempt from state tax. California does not consider them U.S.
obligations for California tax purposes.
Include only the "nonqualified dividend" income listed on your broker's supplemental information page and not the capital gain, because California does not extend this rule to gains and losses.
Please clarify your question, what state are you filing?
This is for California tax purposes. Thanks.
