@jnb-grayline 

 

AND..if you are using the "Online" software?

 

Just delete the entire form.

Then re-enter it manually.

DO NOT upload a picture or PDF of the 1099-DIV...just type in all the data.

No address is required when you type it all in manually.

Theres scores of problems with Picture or PDF uploads of various tax forms.

Just Do Not do it that way.
