kevinandlori,
Dividends are recurring. If you receive qualified dividends of $3,000 in January, February and March, then TurboTax assumes you'll also receive dividends in April, May...December for a total of $36,000. If you sell an asset in February and incur a $10,000 long term capital gain, then that's it. You can't sell it again and have another capital gain. You would not "scale" it up.
