On 1099-div, Vanguard reported a sum in Box 5 for 199A dividends. In the dialog for Uncommon Situations, should I check the third box?

The dividends are from a mutual fund that apparently contains reits.  I have no info about the holding period.

You don’t have to do anything special. It’s not uncommon to have an amount in box 5.

Other than entering the amount of 199A Dividends in Box 5 of the 1099-DIV entry screen, you should not have to enter anything else for those dividends.

Thanks for specifying this is "not uncommon," helping me know what to do on the next screen for "Uncommon Situations."  If the uncommon reit situation were true, presumably Vanguard would have given me some additional info about it.  One would hope.
