HI. According to the IRS:  Interest income from Treasury bills, notes, and bonds is subject to federal income tax but is exempt from all state and local income taxes. You should receive Form 1099-INT showing the interest (in box 3) paid to you for the year.

See this IRS article for more information

 The 1099-INT forms that I received from Treasury Direct does not have Boxes, it just shows Reportable Proceeds: $2,394.00.  How do I enter this into the Premier program so that  it does not get transferred as Taxable income on my Hawaii Tax return?
