State tax filing

Same experience here.  Followed the path to 8814 but TurboTax says because it's less than $1050 it will not be reported and 8814 will be deleted.  Perhaps it's because TT wants badly for this income to be reported on a 1099DIV but it is actually reported to us on 1099MISC.  It seems to accept this process:  if I plug in $1606 (2019 PFD) into Ordinary Dividends AND the Alaska PFD field it deducts about $50 from my Federal tax balance.  I am going with this route because entering the info into the area for 1099MISC I have to add it as income for my wife or I which in turn costs us about $400 more in taxes.
