It depends. You may have to delete the number with the delete key, then enter the number with no dashes. See if that may hopefully work for you. As an alternative, you may want to delete the 1099-DIV and enter it again.
Lastly, you can remove the federal withholding from the 1099-DIV and enter it using the steps below (federal withholding only).
- Click on Deductions & Credits.
- In the Estimates and Other Taxes Paid section, click on the Start/Update box next to Estimated Tax Payments.
- On the next screen, Income Taxes Paid, scroll to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2020, click on Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099, Start/Revisit
- Next to the type of tax payment (Federal, State, Local). Enter your payment(s) on the next screen, How much did you pay in federal, or state or local Select the locality from the drop-down list and enter the amount paid in the box.
It is important to keep this in your tax file so that you have it should you need it later. As a last resort, if the tax return is mailed, you must include a copy of this document because of the federal withholding. Make a copy.
