I erred in my earlier statement. There is a place to enter capital gains on a 1099 DIV. It is entered in Box 2A in the program when you enter your 1099 DIV information. In this case however, the program will not accept a negative number so leave this blank.
As far as changing how you report your income. Since you filed the W9, Fidelity should issue you a 1099 INT, DIV, or 1099B from now on. You won't change how you report the information. It will be reported to you on a different form.
