Get your taxes done using TurboTax

IF you had any box 11 $$ on a 1099-DIV for 2019, the software adds that to the 2019 1099-INT column in the 2020 software.  It's done that for years...don't know why...but if that is the difference for yours, then it's a yearly display confusion problem, and not a real difference for what was actually submitted from your 2019 taxes.  (....then further confuses the situation by not doing the same thing for the 2020 values...i.e. only showing the 1099-INT value total in the 2020 summary column)

 

It's possible that they get the 2019 values directly from your 2019 form 1040, and not from the underlying document worksheets.   So, since box 8 of the 1099-INT and box 11 of the 1099-DIV forms are added together into one line on the 2019 form 1040...that could be the reason it shows that way.

 

Confusing, but not a huge deal.....other than wasting everyone's time.
