Deductions & credits

Thank you for the info. My copy of TurboTax has no Box 8 on my 1099-Div form to input anything even though the actual 1099-Div does have something in it. 

 

Will we be raising flags at the IRS when our 1040-Div claimed amount does not match what they received?

 

I never saw anything like what you are proposing in the IRS instructions for filling this out.  Just wondering if the IRS has approved this technique?
