Form 1099-PATR Box 5

[oakpond]

I have entered Box 1 Patronage dividends on my Farm Expenses 'Income from coop distributions, '  but i don't know whether i'm supposed to add the amount in Box 5 to the amount in Box 1 and report the sum in as "Total Income from Cooperative Distributions?" report it somewhere else? Also, is all of this taxable???

Most often, your Form 1099-PATR reports dividends associated with a farm or cooperative (co-op). You can also receive a 1099-PATR for other reasons (for example, a land bank mortgage or backup withholdings made on your behalf).

Tip: If the dividends in box 1 of your 1099-PATR came from property purchased for personal use (or capital assets or depreciable property used in your business), you don't have to enter your 1099-PATR. Keep it with your tax records, though.

Otherwise, the amounts reported are taxable. Enter the form following the steps in TurboTax. Enter each line with an entry where prompted.

To enter a 1099-PATR for farm or co-op dividends:

1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax
2. Inside TurboTax, search for 1099-PATR (be sure to include the dash) and then select the Jump to link in the search results
3. Follow the instructions to enter info about your farm
4. When you get to Your Farming Income and Expenses, you will enter your 1099-PATR info in Livestock, grain, produce, custom work, co-ops

If your 1099-PATR isn't for farm or co-op dividends, it gets entered as general business income:

1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax
2. Inside TurboTax, search for business (schedule c) (use this exact phrase) and then select the Jump to link in the search results
3. When asked Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? answer Yes
   1. If you'd previously entered self-employed income, you'll come to Your 2022 self-employed work summary. Select Add another line of work to enter information about your farm
4. Follow the instructions to enter info about your farm
5. When you get to Let's enter the income for your (type of farming) work, select Other self-employed income and Continue
