Bug in form 1099-DIV Worksheet

SpectroGuy — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 05:50:41 GMT

I'm filling out 1099-div, linking the output to Form 1116 when appropriate. At the bottom of the form is "recipient's address and zip code". Whether I type the information or click the "transfer address" box, "foreign country" shows as an error even though it's blank (I am a US resident). If I don't check the transfer box, other fields are highlighted as erroneous; while the State and Zip are blank, "foreign country" is red, but if I put in a state and zip, they highlight as red as well. Please investigate. Thanks.

as a US resident (or even a nonresident) neither the payors nor the recipient's information should be needed. it's not used for anything. What other box numbers are red because nothing I could do could produce the recipient's boxes to be red.

if you imported the info there may be corruption for that form. you may need to delete it and enter the info manually.

Your advice worked. Print the auto-downloaded sheet to retain the info, delete the form, Zoom to a new copy of the form, type in the info., and it works.
