What code do I put in Sch B part 2 code

[KathrynG3]

It depends. There is no code to enter for Schedule B on the federal return. 

If you are referring to a question about your state return, there may be a code for New York state if there are zeros entered that do not need to be included. 

Option 1: Follow these steps from TurboTax Employee Tax Expert DMarkM1 who wrote in the community:

Referring to NY Form IT-225.  Part 2 deals with modifications to Partners, Shareholders, Beneficiaries.  These modification codes are provided by the entity that sent you the income document (a K-1 for example).

1.  In the New York interview, continue the NY return and get to the page titled "changes to federal income." 

2.  Scroll down to the bottom of the "other New York adjustments to federal income."  (Delete any zeros entered in boxes that should be blank in all tabs.)

3.  Update the "Partner, shareholder, beneficiary adjustments"  

The next page is "additions" and the one after that will be "subtractions."  You will probably find that there are numbers in one or more of the boxes there.  Hopefully they will look familiar and you will know what document they come from.

You will need to find the source document and get the correct modification code to enter for each.  If you need to see what the available codes look like, click on the applicable hyperlink "additions" or "subtractions" on the TurboTax pages.

This is driving me nuts. No matter what I do, that error keeps appearing. 

I had a very small dividend in 2021. I have deleted it, saved it, re-entered it, saved it, etc. multiple times

Please just give me a code or tell me what else I can do to make this go away.

Please clarify your question.

• If you delete your entry does the error go away?
• Where are you seeing the error?
• Is there any entry other than BOX 1 on your 1099-Div.
• Why do you think you are looking for a "code".

What code do I put in Sch B part 2?

[BrittanyS]

The Schedule B Form, part 2, is the dividends section of your return.  You will want to verify your dividend entries for your return.  If you have entries pulled from a previous year's return, they may need to be deleted.  To check this, you can follow these steps in TurboTax Online:

1. Click Wages and Income
2. Scroll to Investments and Savings, Click Start/Revisit on Dividends on 1099-DIV
3. Review Dividend entries; if they do not apply, you can select the trashcan icon and delete
