Tax exempt dividends

[John57]

Form 1099DIV worksheet, box 11, I am unable to enter the percent for my resident state. The block (b) has 0.0% in black. I can override with my percentage but block (c) does not calculate and I cannot override block(c). This only occurs on one worksheet. How can I fix it?

When you entered the box 11 dividends on the federal, the next screen asks Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply to you and you select either US Government interest or need to adjust these dividends.

• If Government interest:
  •  the next screen asks how much from your state in Enter US Government interest
  • continue,
  • Tell us more about your exempt-interest dividends,
  • choose one state or more than one,
  • continue
• If you chose need to adjust these dividends:
  • then select I need to adjust these dividends,
  • continue,
  • enter the dividend adjustment
  • select Other adjustment
  • Continue
  • choose the correct option for your situation, one state or more than one
  • continue

Thanks for reply. The problem was an error in data import. I removed and re-imported the 1099 and then I could enter the state data as I would have expected. Problem solved.
