No. Qualified Dividends in 1b is the amount of 1a that is qualified. It is already included in 1a. And it's a 1099 Div not a Int.

Oh, are you trying to enter it on a 1099INT for interest? Dividends go in a different place which has box 1a and 1b. Delete it out of interest and go back and pick Dividends.

Still have questions?
