Tax exempt interest is interest income that is not subject to federal income tax. Typically it could come from state sourced municipal bonds or US Treasury Securities. Many times, these bonds are exempt from state income taxes.

Exempt interest dividends are distributions from a mutual fund that is not subject to federal income taxes but they may be subject to state income taxes.

I filled via different tax service because turbotax has gotten entirely way too expensive. How do I stop getting emails from turbotax to fil3, when I already have?
