Enter 0 for CT and the the total amount in box 10 (or box 8 if you have a 1099-INT instead of a 1099-DIV) under "More than one state"
You get the break down , by state, from your mutual fund company. If they did not provide a breakdown, you check the box “I earned tax exempt dividends in more than one state” on the first screen after entering the 1099-INT or 1099-DIV. Then select "More than one state" at the bottom of the state scroll down list.
If your mutual fund company provided you a breakdown, you are only interested in your home state*. Multiply the % for your state by your total tax exempt dividends to get a $ amount (you can't enter the % in TurboTax [TT]). When asked which state, check the box "I earned tax exempt dividends in more than one state". In the drop down menu, select your state and enter the $ amount you calculated. In the 2nd box, select "More than one state" (at the bottom of the scroll down list) and enter the remaining dollar amount.
*Your state will tax all the dividends except the dividends from municipal bonds from your state.
