how do i report 1099 div to irs when it is on someone elses tax id

1099

Best answer by DeanM15

Because you received the money, you need to declare the money on your return. Hopefully, you have solved the issue of future 1099-DIVs with the broker.

Enter the 1099-DIV as if it was yours. If your mother's 1099-DIV is less than the filing requirement for 2019, odds are you will not hear from the IRS.

Sound like you are asking about nominee interest.

Here's how to split the 1099Div for Nominee Interest. Enter a 1099-Div under

Federal Taxes tab

Wages & Income

Interest and Dividends

Dividends on 1099-DIV- Click the Start or Update button

Whoever's ssn is on the 1099 enters the whole amount on their return. Then at the bottom of the entry screen, pick the second one "I need to adjust the amount."

Then on the next page fill in the amount as a POSITIVE number and pick the first reason "I received all or part of these dividends for someone else".

Then on the other person's return you enter it as a 1099-Div and put the amounts in the boxes..

The tax ID was for my mother who died in 2018 and I filed for 1310. Now I have another 1099 div for her that was earned after her death. The tax is in fact mine and the investment firm will not change the tax id to me.

You don't need an actual IRS form to report your income. Enter at the 1099-DIV screen, in TT, using your own records.

The harder question is: what does the person with his tax ID on the 1099-Div do to avoid an IRS inquiry for unreported income. He reports the income on Schedule B than takes a "nominee" deduction on Sch B. The TurboTax interview can handle this. Note the follow up screen after entering info at the 1099-Div screen "Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply to you". The use selects "I need to adjust these dividends".

I received a 1099-DIV from my Broker, however, I never received any money. Do I have to report this?

You need to contact the issuer of the 1099-DIV and get it corrected. The IRS received the same form so they will be looking for this income on your tax return to reconcile in their records.
