Is income from an unclaimed property from Virginia taxable? It is on a 1099 form, and contains dividends and stock sale proceeds. If so, where should it be reported?

The form I received is from the division of unclaimed property.

If it was reported to you on a 1099, then it is taxable.

To enter a 1099-DIV:

1.  Click Federal on the left-hand side menu.

2.  Click Income across the top.

3.  Scroll down to Interest and Dividends and click Show more.

4.  Click Start or Revisit by Dividends on 1099-DIV.
