I appreciate your response to all of my questions.

You need to determine that IF IT WERE INTEREST, WOULD IT BE STATE TAX FREE. Look carefully at the prospectus for the fund. IF IT IS EXEMPT put it under US BONDS. 

Thank you for this.

Cash basis or Accrual accounting? Just be consistent in treatment every year.

Cash.

Students are generally not considered residents. It is not possible to be residents of two states. You can be Part Year resident in two states. You can use US for the resident state. 

I agree that they aren't considered residents, but either way I guess I can do part year resident like you mentioned so thank you.

If you have a foreign tax on capital gains in a foreign country, you would need to do that as an entry separate from the dividends. Go directly to 1116 data entry, do not pass GO. 

Thank you for this as well.
