Unless your broker has made a horrible mistake, you did receive dividend income from one or more or your securities.
It's not necessary that you actually receive the cash and deposit it into your checking account to make a dividend "income" to you. If you left that cash in the brokerage account or if the dividend was automatically reinvested in more shares, it's still income when it's paid to you, irrespective of what you did with the funds.
