Dividend entry

user17704014636 — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 18:18:14 GMT

Under INTEREST and DIVIDENDS, I am trying to enter my dividends total into Turbotax, but it will only pull up INTEREST. The screen shows a line for Interest and a line for Dividends. When I click into the Dividends line it pulls up the Interest line. Is this the correct response from Turbotax?

After you enter that area, the software shows a bunch of different boxes....make sure you actually click on the Dividends box before continuing.

That same next page shows even if you go in on the Menu line, or the Dividends line, or the stock transactions menu line

are you referring to the list of 1099s since the redesign, if you click update on either line in the Interest and Dividends section it will show the long list of all your 1099s, ordered by Payer not the 1099 type. It used to be separate views for either interest or dividends. At the very bottom (ugh! - scroll, scroll) is the button for Add Investments which takes you to the import list, if you skip that you get the buttons to input different types of income.

It's super annoying workflow since they changed this last year. For INT and DIV I use Forms mode and you can see totals on Schedule B but you may still have to do a pass thru them in EasyStep to clear any in "needs review" status.
