I download my investment information and am having difficulty reconciling the tax exempt interest.  Is there a worksheet that shows the detail of the t/e interest that ties out to Form 1040, line 2a?

    In general, your tax-exempt stated interest should be shown in box 8 of Form 1099-INT or, for a tax-exempt OID bond, in box 2 of Form 1099-OID, and your tax-exempt OID should be shown in box 11 of Form 1099-OID. 


    Also, any exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other regulated investment company is included on form 1040 line 2a. This amount should be shown in box 12 of Form 1099-DIV
