tax software bug

i am using free software called 1040 now it does fed and for a fee does state--takes data from fed and inserts it into state however there is no wy to modify state data--it is taking non state taxable interest and inserting it into state software--ther is no way to modify the state data' using cpa taxs from last year found the same problem-- same for data done by accounting firm in new york city. sofar have not been able to get response--on-line help from software.

anyone out there had the same problem of inability to modify state data ?

any experience with things like turbo tax fed/state taxware is appreciated.

What do you mean by "non state taxable interest"?

Do you mean state municipal interest?

There's a strong possibility that something is entered wrong.

I use Tax Cut and state tax exempt interests (e.g. T-Bill interests) are entered separately and do not get carried over to the state forms. Something to be said about getting what you paid for.

Most software I've seen allows you to input the interest and mark or code it as income from a federal obligation.

Double check the input screens to see if this option is available (it should be). Then correct the data input problem.
