Retirement tax questions

Credit union “dividends” are usually actually interest from saving accounts, checking accounts, or CDs, and are generally reported as interest in Box 1 of Form 1099-INT, when the form is required to be provided to the taxpayer.

You’ll want to enter this income as interest in TurboTax Online:

  1. If you don’t see 2022 TAXES in the left pane, select the dropdown to the right of Income & Expenses on the Hi, let’s keep working on your taxes! page and then select Let’s get started, Pick up where you left off, or Review/Edit. 
  • Otherwise, in the left pane, select Federal, then Wages & Income (This is labelled Income & Expenses in TurboTax Self-Employed)
  1. Scroll down and select the Show more dropdown to the right of Investments & Savings
  2. Select Add investments
  3. Select Continue on the Get ready to be impressed screen
  4. Select Enter a different way on the Let’s import your tax info screen
  5. Select the Interest box, then Continue
  6. On the How would you like to upload your 1099-INT? screen, select Type it in myself at the bottom

Enter all of your information.  Although the screens reference Form 1099-INT, no form is needed.  Just enter the information that you have.
