Get your taxes done using TurboTax

On the 1099-DIV you should enter the Payer's name.  This will match the payer TIN.  

On the other hand, you should record the Broker's name for the 1099-B.  This will identify who issued the 1099-B.

The IRS will not be concerned about the broker's full name ... until they have a question about it.  It takes just a moment.  I'd suggest you enter the name as it appears on the 1099-B.
