Treasury AMD as Govt Interest

[Fid-user]

Turbotax does not include Treasury Acquired Market Discount as US Govt interest exemtion on state taxes!

[AmyC]

You need to make an adjustment within your state for the qualified exemption.

First, it is not clear what numbers are included in line-28, It-201

(simply saying they are from Fed 1099-div, -int, K-1 does not help.)

Second, it will be nice if Turbo Tax included AMD on purchase of treasuries in line 28! That will save lot of hassle, now and later! Thanks.
