Got a message as follows: Check This Entry Form 2210AI: QualifiedDividendsCAmt must be entered E- Qual Dividends I entered qual dividends but stuck in a loop now. Fix?

[kcupito]

I added up all my qualified dividends and entered but the TT program keeps looping back to this same "check this entry". Cannot move forward and file my taxes now.

Go back to the interview for Underpayment Penalties in Other Tax Situations to make any needed changes. You can also choose NOT to use the Annualized Income method in the interview and that should resolve your issue.

Form 2210AI is used when you choose to use the Annualize Income method to determine whether your estimated tax payments were enough to avoid or reduce the Underpayment of Estimated Tax Penalty.

Form 2210AI asks for your Adjusted Gross Income per quarter on line 1 of the 2210AI. Your qualified dividends are part of your AGI. You can divide your dividends equally by quarter if that makes sense in accounting for all of your AGI.

See this tax tips article for more information about Form 2210.
