How to confirm correct entries for income taxes if I don't get a 1099-DIV for my acct (low $), specifically qualified dividends, based on a TD Ameritrade Dec statement?

Only your financial institution can tell you what portion of your dividends is qualified. But since the amount is trivial you can just report them all as ordinary dividends. 

Am I interpreting your statement correctly that I should make the qualified dividend entry match the ordinary dividend entry that my statement gives me?  From further googling, it sounds like ordinary dividends are the total dividend amount and qualified dividends are the portion of those which are taxed at a higher rate, so by assigning them all as qualified I am making sure there's no way I am under reporting my tax amount?  Since it's a small amount anyway the slight over-payment is not meaningful.  Let me know if I'm not tracking on any of that.  Thank you!

Qualifying dividends are taxed at a lower rate, but I am suggesting you report them all as ordinary dividends  so you are not under reporting income and there should be no significant impact on your tax liability in view of the small amount involved.
