Mutual fund has interest, dividends and tax exempt interest on a monthly basis.   How can I add the tax emempt interest to the totals as there is no box for separate tax exempt interest in the reinvest divided box?

    If some of the dividends are taxable and some are not, there is not a really clean solution.  

    You can try entering a MiscInc transaction and specifying the category for the transaction as _DivIncTaxFree. You'll need to be watchful that the correct value always shows up in the correct report space.  (Or _IntIncTaxFree as applicable).

    You'll need to follow that with a Buy Shares to effect the reinvestment you are making.
