I did not receive dividends. I paid dividends because I was short a stock that paid a dividend. I believe the correct treatment is for TurboTax to add the dividends I paid to the cost of closing out the position. However, TurboTax is not doing this. It is not doing anything with the paid dividends. Is it possible to manually change the cost to close out the short position in TurboTax? The purchase and sales data was imported to TurboTax form the brokerage 1099.
