The bond premium adjustment reported on my 1099-INT is greater than the related Box 1 interest income.  Where do i put the difference and why is it not put there automatically by TurboTax?

    Per @CarolC:

     

    "Follow these steps to make a manual adjustment for the bond premium you paid on your tax-exempt and taxable bonds:

    1. Select Federal Taxes
    2. Under Wages & Income select Interest on 1099-INT
    3. Enter your 1099-INT information, select Continue
    4. Select I need to adjust the taxable amount, select Continue
    5. Enter the state that pays your tax-exempt interest, select Continue
    6. Enter the amount of your premium adjustment (use a negative number if you need to add to the interest reported)
    7. Select the Reason for Adjustment"
