Only part of federally exempt dividend/interest is in a fund that pays interest/dividends exempt to taxation in PA.  And a small part of that amount is actually from PA investments.  I calculated the amount actually deductible from PA tax, but the pink background shows up in the box, and I get the ! in the forms list.  How can I show the correct amount not taxable in PA without getting the error message?

    1. Open to the federal income section
    2. Select the 1099-DIV
    3. Go through the entry screen
    4. Under Tell us more about your exempt -interest dividends, enter your PA state exempt amount
    5. Enter "multiple states" to enter the rest of the exempt amount.
