Since the income was reported to you on the 1099-DIV and 1099-MISC, you will need to enter these in your tax return.

 

Go to the Investment section under income. Find 1099-DIV and start, follow the prompts and enter the information on the form.

 

In order to enter the 1099-MISC as income and not self-employment income, follow these steps:
