How do I know if I received a dividend income? I have mutual funds that have received dividends but I haven't sold any of my mutual funds.

It is not necessary to sell a mutual fund in order to receive taxable dividends from it.  If you did receive dividends, the mutual fund or your broker would send you a 1099-DIV.  (Some brokers include the 1099-DIV in a "Consolidated Statement" at the end of the year).
