Question

Where Did I Enter This Number?!

Friends:

Client is a Fed/DC taxpayer with municipal bonds.  DC taxes municipal bond income from bonds that originate outside of DC.

The DC tax form (D-30) is accompanied by a Schedule I that lists additions to and subtractions from federal numbers to account for things that are taxable in DC but not in fed and vice-versa.

Line 7 of the Schedule I (Additions, Other) shows $3,850 with a link that says "See Statement 1".  Statement 1 says "Municipal Bonds Taxable to DC . . . . $3,850".  I am pretty sure that I typed that.

But I need to change the number and I can't find where I entered it!

If I Jump to Input, it brings me to Screen 51.321 (DC Additions, Other Additions).  But there is nothing in that field, so that is NOT the source of the input!

I went into Batch mode and looked at every screen with data in it and I could not find the text or the dollar amount.

So . . . does anyone know where that data would be or how I can find it?!

My guess is that it is an entry in your Interest or Dividend income for Muni

Yeah, my assumption too.  But I looked at all of them, including the details in the records (Ctrl-E).  Nothing!

Are there any K-1s that reported tax-exempt income?

ALSO, I used the Find feature to look for the text ("municipal") and it only found it in the one place where I knew that word to be already (but neither the phrase nor the amount match).

Could "Municipal Bonds Taxable to DC" be an automated message and/or calculated amount?
