Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You should be entering information in the Form 1099-DIV section for dividend income, not Form 1099-R for retirement plan distributions.
1 - If you did not receive a Form 1099-DIV, then you should probably assume that the dividends are ordinary. Qualified dividends require a particular holding period to be met in order to receive the preferred tax treatment.
2 - An account number should not be required in order to report the dividends that you received.
3 - You do not need to enter a Form 1099-DIV for each company, instead enter one Form 1099-DIV for Robinhood reporting all of the dividends that were paid through Robinhood.
4 - Yes, the date the dividends were declared will determine whether they are reported on your tax return, not the date they were paid. If a dividend was declared in December, but not paid until January, then it is reported as if it was received in December.
