1040 9b missing

TT interview asked daughter  about parent's, i.e. myself, income. It is very recursive math, mine is asking about her income, hers is asking about mine.

So going through the interview I stopped at the question "Parent's Qualified Dividends" with reference to the item 9b on my return.

But my 1040 does not have any 9b item at all, only 9. I did not have any dividends, I can put 0, but isn't missing item in 1040 telling me that something is wrong?

    Thank you for pointing that out. Qualified dividends would be on 3b of Form 1040 so I wonder if it is referring to something else or if this is a typo that we need to address. Since you know you had no dividends, please do enter 0 and we will look into the question.  

     

    Thank you again for letting us know!

    Since the text asks for qualified dividends and not ordinary dividends - should we be looking at 3a? and not at 3b?

    The qualified dividends would be listed on line 3(a) for sure.
