Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@bobb54  said   "I have a fairly simple return with some dividends, maybe a little capital gains".

 

Qualified dividends (shown in box 1b of your 1099-DIV) and long term capital gains are taxed at  a lower tax rate than ordinary income.  Look at the "Qualified dividends and capital gains worksheet", that TurboTax prepares, for the tax  calculation.
