Dividends from Treasury Bill ETFs are generally **exempt from state and local taxes**¹⁴. However, they are subject to federal taxes⁴. The portion of fund dividends attributed to interest from Treasuries isn't qualified dividends. It's taxed at normal tax rates for federal income tax¹³.

When you have multiple mutual funds or ETFs in a taxable brokerage account, the broker reports dividends received from all sources on one 1099-DIV form¹. The 1099-DIV form doesn't have a special box broken out for dividends attributed to Treasuries¹. It's up to you to determine how much of the dividends from each source came from Treasuries¹.
