Your form 1099 composite is simply multiple forms in one document. 

You will take each form and enter it as if it were distributed on its own. 

You likely have a 1099-INT, and a 1090-DIV. 

You may also have a 1099--B, 1099-OID and a 1099-MISC included in the statement.

Simply find the appropriate entry area in the Federal Taxes - Wages and Income area for the entry of each form.

If my 1099 composite shows 0’s for each type of form on it, do I have to file it?

If you received a 1099 Composite statement and all the entries are "0" , then you wouldn't have anything to report on your tax return.

 

(This is unlikely, however, because the only reason a financial institution would send you a 1099 Composite is if you had at least one type of 1099 to report.)

 

A "1099 Composite" is just a consolidated statement that lists the 1099s issued by a financial institution, typically 1099-DIV, 1099-INT and 1099-B.

hi, if my 1099 composite show 0's except the MISCELLANEOUS INCOME "3- Other Income 43.40, do I still have to file?

Maybe, it will depend on all of the other income that you received. 

 

The $43.40 is taxable income and would be posted as 1099-MISC, but if all of your income as a single taxpayer does not exceed $12,400 you do not have to file a tax return.

Composite transactions are part of form 1099B.  

 

Some brokerage companies issue a "Composite 1099 Form" that replaces multiple individual 1099 forms such as,

  • 1099-B,
  • 1099-INT, and
  • 1099-DIV.

Sometimes, the individual sections of the composite forms do not include all of the information that is available on a standard 1099 form, such as the check boxes for short-term and long-term transactions on the standard 1099-B form. Instead, many of these composite forms simply group the different types of transactions so that you can readily tell which ones are short-term and long-term.

 

To enter the information on form 1099B in TurboTax, follow this link for instructions.

Here's a TurboTax article that discusses Form 1099-B: Proceeds from Broker Transactions.

 

To get to that section in TurboTax, search for 1099B and

@Alimakki1 Yes, you must report all your income.

I received a 1099 composite, but no 1099 Div, but there is a $amount for Apple dividends which I reinvest.  Do I have to declare this on my taxes form as income.

Yes, you do need to report the dividends from Apple even if they are not reported on a 1099-DIV form.

 

The easiest way to enter Form 1099-DIV is to open your return, search for 1099-DIV, and select the Jump-to link at the top of your search results. That'll take you to the screen where you can enter your dividend income.

Did you get anything on this? if all values are 0, did you have to file it?

If you received a 1099 of any kind with all boxes reported at 0, you are not required to report the form on your tax return at all.
