Where do I enter my Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend?
Your Alaska Permanent Fund dividend (PFD) goes in the 1099-MISC section, and gets reported on Form 1040, Schedule 1, Line 8g. To enter these amounts in TurboTax, follow these instructions:
Go to the Alaska fund screen:
TurboTax Online: Go to the 1099-MISC screen under Wages & Income.
TurboTax Desktop:
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to Wages & Income.
If asked How do you want to enter…?, select I’ll choose what I work on.
Under 1099-MISC and Other Common Income, select Start or Update next to Income from Form 1099-MISC.

What about my child's Alaska PFD?
A child's Alaska PFD needs to be reported, even if it was their only source of income in 2025.
If your child's total income was exclusively unearned (meaning the Alaska PFD, plus interest, dividends, or capital gains distributions—no wages or other income earned by working) and was less than $13,500, you can either report their PFD on your return or your child can report it on their own return.
Otherwise, if your child's unearned income (including the Alaska PFD) is $13,500 or more, they must file their own return.
Follow these steps if you want to include your child's PFD on your return:
Go to the child income screen:
TurboTax Online: Go to the child income screen under Wages & Income.
TurboTax Desktop:
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to Wages & Income.
If asked How do you want to enter…?, select I’ll choose what I work on.
Under Less Common Income, select Start or Update next to Child's Income.
At Any Child's Income? select Yes.
Answer the remaining questions and TurboTax will fill out Form 8814 that shows the child's income.
