There is no relationship between Ordinary dividends in box 1a and Exempt-interest dividends in box 11. You report both boxes in your tax return.

 

An exempt-interest dividend is a distribution from a mutual fund that is not subject to federal income tax. Exempt-interest dividends are often associated with mutual funds that invest in municipal bonds.
