My 1099 Div does not have a state listed?

What state should I use/

[Critter-3]

None is required when entering the 1099-DIV  so leave the entry screen blank.  Otherwise it is YOUR state if you must enter something.

I guess it also depends on why you are asking.

......if you are referring to the tax-exempt $$ in box 12, then when it asks for what state produced the $$ in box 12...the easiest answer is to indicate it came from "Multiple States" (last state selection in the list).

________

IF you know the $$ amount of box 12, you may be able to break out just the $$ that came from your resident home state  (you don't have to do so...but you would have to calculate the exact $$ amount from information the bond fund provides separately.)  A couple states (CA, MN), have restrictions on whether you are allowed to do this, and IL doesn't allow it at all for bond funds.
