Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Normally, to identify a nominee distribution, when entering Dividends in TurboTax, after you get past the initial screen to the question "Do these uncommon situations apply?", select "I need to adjust these dividends or this is an ESOP distribution" and then select "I need to adjust these dividends". 

 

The Learn More link next to this choice includes this information, "You received the dividend as a nominee: This means you received dividend income belonging to someone else (other than your spouse). The IRS and the person whose dividend you received will need to be informed of the payor and the amount".

 

In the next screen, "Tell us about your dividend adjustment", enter the adjustment amount and select "I received all or part of these dividends for someone else (I am a nominee)".

 

You can make manual adjustments if this option doesn't produce the needed result. See this thread for a discussion of similar issues.
