Reinvested dividends are taxable.
You do not enter them when entering your form 1099-DIV.
Reinvested dividends are like an additional investment which increases the cost basis.
For example, if you reinvested $100 of dividends to buy 5 additional shares of XYZ, then those 5 additional shares have a cost basis of $20 each.
Your stockbroker should keep track of this information for you.
