The first step would be to review your 1099-DIV entries to make sure the correct number was entered and that you don't have duplicated entries.
- Open your return and select Federal on the left side menu.
- Select Wages and Income toward the upper left.
- Scroll down, or expand the list and find Interest and Dividends.
- Expand that section and find Dividends on 1099-DIV.
- Click on Add/ Edit to the right.
- The first screen will show all of the entries for Form 1099-DIV. Check for duplications and incomplete forms before moving on. If you spot a duplicate, delete it, if something looks off, edit the form.
- If everything looks okay, start at the top of the list and review the box 11 entry for each 1099-DIV that you have. Make any corrections needed.
If you still have a difference, it may have come from a K-1.
