Why do you conclude that? Line 2 says "enter the total amount of cash or property received?" 

 

I do not think this is only related to portfolio interest/dividends passed thru from LLC investments/bank accounts., if that's what you're thinking.

 

Looking at the regulations Rev. 901.09 a "dividend" is amount distributed to members because of their owners from current or past profits.

 

It seems that the issue is whether the distribution is from profits (i.e. a dividend paid to owners) or from capital (non-taxable return of capital).

 

Glad you are aware of and below the BT and BET thresholds.
