This is not an error in the program - Boxes 8 and 9 of the1099-DIV are reporting that the assets of the fund were liquidated and returned to the investors.
The amount reported on a 1099-DIV represents the return of a shareholder’s investment. This return can be made in more than one distribution if a shareholder purchased blocks of stock over time, as opposed to making a one-time purchase. Until or unless a shareholder recovers her total investment, the amount reported on a 1099-DIV is not considered taxable income. This means that if the difference between the fair market value of the stock and its adjusted base – the price of the stock minus broker or commission fees – is zero, no tax is due on the amount.
