Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Just enter the boxes from the 1099-B as shown.  If you imported the 1099-DIV form, it's always possible that the import can get scrambled, and you might need to Edit that 1099-DIV form to make sure the numbers imported properly compared to the paper 1099-DIV that broker issued.

 

For a 1099-DIV form, there should be both a  box 1a and a box 1b.    Box 1b can be a lower number than box 1a  (or can be equal to 1a).....

 

IF 1a is $9616.xx and 1b is 461.66, the all that is saying is that your total dividends for that -DIV form was 9616.xx, and that a sub-portion of that (461.66) were qualified for special tax treatment.

 

____________________________

OR..MAYBE you are looking at the $9616 in a different place: If you finished entering all your 1099-DIV forms, and are back in the main menu page, the total shown there includes both box 1a and box 11 added together...a total of both dividend types.  Thus, if the $9616 was on the main menu page, then that would be including box 11 $$, and box 1a may be a lot lower and closer to the 461.66 in box 1b on your 10990-DIV.
