Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I see another issue that I believe may complicate the issue. I'm not sure if sufficient itemized info is being provided in the supplemental info to accurately make the necessary calculation. Example: one of the mutual funds that has supplemental data for income from U.S. government securities lists the %, and breakdown of which Federal agency paid, but doesn't specify the total ordinary dividends (box 1a) paid by that fund. When I go to the section of the tax package providing "detail for dividends and distributions" for that specific fund, the data provided is date, dollar amount, and transaction type. The transaction types listed are qualified dividend, non-qualified dividend and foreign taxes paid. However, TT wants me to use the total ordinary dividends number to make the calculation. Can I assume that if I add the qualified and the non-qualified dividends amounts that the sum will equate to what would be in the 1099 DIV box 1a if I had access to the 1099-DIV just for that fund? (I hope so!) I see that some other funds also itemize section 199A dividends (which I would also add to the qualified and non-qualified dividends if that line item were present for the fund in question).
