Dividends are taxable as they are earned income from your investments. They can be entered in TurboTax by using the instructions below.

  1. Sign into TurboTax and open a section of your return.
  2. Search for 1099-DIV and select the Jump to link in your search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you receive any dividend income?
  4. Choose your bank or brokerage from the list to import your 1099-DIV and select Continue. If you'd rather manually enter your 1099-DIV, select Change how I enter my form, then Type it in myself.(suggested)
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your 1099-DIV.
  6. See the image below - check the box to show you have more info/boxes to enter

There are no boxes 2e and 2f when I check the box for "my form has info in other boxes"

I double-checked this answer, as I had the same question. And it's true, the nonapplicability to U.S. citizens of both boxes is stated under both "section 897" and "box 2f" in the instructions. I wish TurboTax explained it in the "Other boxes are checked window, though."


I too wish Turbo Tax explained the nonapplicability to U.S. citizens of both boxes is stated under both "section 897" and "box 2f" in the instructions. Would've saved me some time and frustration.
