My wife participated in a company stock purchase through a payroll deduction. We received 2 1099-DIV forms, each labeled "YEAR 2024 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS" One is sub-titled "2021 employee stock purchase plan and the other is sub-titled "2022 employee stock purchase plan."
Slightly different amounts in the ordinary and the qualified dividends boxes
question is how do I enter this on my tax return? Surely it can't be so simple as to add the amounts and enter one number for boxes 1a and 1b.
