Capital Gains Box 2a 1099div

[Retired Bill]

The detail of box 2a  of 1099div shows the gain to be long term but when I put the amount in my turbo tax easy step it is taxed as ordinary income.  Can I get the long term rate instead?

If yes, how?

Capital gain distributions reported in box 2a of form 1099-DIV are automatically treat as long-term by TurboTax. They are transferred to line 13 of Schedule D.

You do need to add anything on your tax return.
