Why is the amount of Net tax-empent interest on my state return less than the amount of interest on my US treasuries?

[leviton11]

On the Interest Income Worksheet for my state return there is a section titled "Summary of Net Interest after Adjustments". Line 2 in that section is labeled "Net Arkansas tax-exempt interest and US obligations". The amount on that line is $741 less that the total amount of interest shown from US treasury obligations in the Interest Income worksheet. Does anyone know how this "Net tax-exempt interest is calculated"?

And it is NOT because on bond premium because I do not have any.

any accrued interest adjustments?

[leviton11]

Yes.  How does that affect things?

[baldietax]

same way the premium does, it reduces net interest income reported on your Fed return (under a single 'accrued interest' negative adjustment on your Schedule B) and the corresponding interest adjustments on your state return

beware also if you have 1099-INT with multiple types of income in boxes 1/3/8 and need to make an accrued interest adjustment on any of them, you have to split the 1099-INT up, as you can't specify which box it belongs to, and can only apply one accrued interest adjustment - TT will pro-rata it across all the income on the 1099.

Well I checked my accrued interest , and the numbers did not add up to the difference
