Accrued Muni Interest

ACCLIGHT
Level 3

I have a municipal bond with $105 accrued interest and total Box 8 interest received of $263. When I enter the accrued interest adjustment in the Sch. B- E1 adjustment section instead of the exempt interest reflecting $158 it instead reflects a seeming random $8 adjustment with the rest being applied to other taxable interest. Obviously I can manually deduct from the reported amount but I am very curious as to what is happening but have searched without any material results. Any thoughts from brighter minds?

Do you have one entry on Sched B that has both taxable and tax-exempt interest on it? If so, put the tax-exempt info on a separate line and see if that doesn't solve your problem.
