Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The steps to enter the Form 1099-DIV have been placed in your other post and I will answer your questions here as well since they were not visible on the other post.

1. Yes, TurboTax Deluxe can handle this entry.
2. Unlikely, however you can enter the amount to remove from your dividends and your ex husband can enter the appropriate portions on his tax return.  There is a nominee procedure that can be used which will require physical document changes with the IRS, but will be effective.  These instructions will be placed below.
3. It depends.  The one whose social security number (SSN) is on the document (assumed yours since your name is listed first) will follow the procedures in the other post.  The one whose SSN is not present on the form will enter the information in each box show on the form but only half of each amount.
4. The adjustment is for the portion that should not be taxed on your return.

Nominee Procedures - Documented and filed with the IRS (each owner files the correct amount on their respective returns without adjustment):

Nominee returns. 

Generally, if you receive a Form 1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person or entity, you are considered a nominee recipient. You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received).  You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of the other owners. 

File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 (this is a transmittal for the 1099) by mailing to the Internal Revenue Service Center for your area. (Provided on the Form 1096)

• On each new Form 1099, list yourself as the payer and the other owner, as the recipient. On Form 1096, list yourself as the nominee filer, not the original payer.  The nominee is responsible for filing the subsequent Forms 1099 to show the amount allocable to each owner.

The forms filed with the IRS should be the red copy so if you don't have a color printer, go to the IRS website and order the forms here: 

• Form 1096-Transmittal 
• Form 1099-DIV 2020

Steps that can be used without completing the physical nominee changes  are included here for convenience from your other post.

After entering the full amount on your return, follow these steps:

1. After you click Continue when you have finished entering the information from your Form 1099-DIV, the next screen is titled “Tell us if any of these uncommon situation apply to you” 
2. Select “I need to adjust these dividends”  > select again I need to adjust these dividends by checking the box
3. Continue
4. Then you will see a screen titled “Tell us about your dividend adjustment”
5. Enter the amount as a positive number and the reason for the adjustment.  This will make the proper entry on your Schedule B.
