Please review this Turbo Tax link for instructions on how to report a liquidating dividend. in your case, If the liquidating distribution shown in Box 8 or 9 is a complete liquidation, then report the amount in Box 8 or 9 on the stock sale screen as a stock sale. For example, if your cost basis in stock in a company is $400 and the company is totally liquidated, then if you receive a 1099-DIV with Box 8 showing $1000 and you received nothing else from the liquidation. This then becomes your capital gain for the liquidating dividend. Make sure all the other steps have been performed before you report this as a stock sale.
