Get your taxes done using TurboTax

For all 1099 forms, you would report the full amount of the IRS form on your tax return and then generate a nominee distribution as a negative entry.  That way the IRS will see that the full amount of the income has been recognized on your tax return.

 

As an example, for dividend income:

  • Go to Federal / Wages & Income / Investments and Savings / Dividends on 1099-DIV.
  • If the IRS Form 1099-DIV is for $100, report $100 in box 1a.  Continue.
  • At the screen Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply to you, click on I need to adjust these dividends.
  • Click on I need to adjust these dividendsContinue.
  • Enter $50 as the adjustment amount.
  • Click on I received all or part of these dividends for someone else (I am a nominee)Continue.

View Schedule B Interest and Ordinary Dividends entries at Tax Tools / Print Center / Print, save or preview this year's return.

 

Part II will record the Nominee distribution amount.

 

You will generate the 1096 and 1099-DIV for the $50 for which you are a nominee.
