Thank you. I did that and turbo tax sends me to another screen which requests that I calculate the amount I want to use for both the qualified dividend from the 1099 Div in box 1b as well as the Section 199A amount. It appears that I can enter my calculation based on the 20 percent qualified business deduction explanation found on the 1099. However in doing some research the experts only talk about doing the calculation based on the 199A amount (box 5) and not the qualified dividend amount listed in box 1b. This is somewhat confusing and would appreciate your assistance in clarifying how best to address what turbo tax is asking me to do.
