Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

The 1099-DIV dialogue when $ is US gov. interest is NOT working. I was told TurboTax was fixing this 3 days ago, but it still isn't working. Has anyone had this problem?

Yes...a BUG in the Online software being worked on, but a simple workaround for now:

 

go back and 

 

1) Edit the 1099-DIV in question

 

2)  On the page that shows boxes 1a, 1b and 2a....just click on the box to show all the other boxes ( you apparently don't need )  "My form has info in other boxes

 

3)  Scroll to the bottom of the page, and hit "Continue"

 

4) Next page make sure you have the "A portion of these dividends is U.S. Government interest" and hit "Continue"

 

5) Enter the US govt interest in the box provided and continue out to the 1099-DIV table.

 

should be OK now.......don't uncheck that box in step #2 or it will go away again.
