REIT dividends not sure what they are from

Turbotax says I have REIT dividends but I am not sure what this is from?  Where on my tax forms would this show up so I can double check it.  I don't think I have a schedule K or any partnerships.  I am assuming it is something from a mutual fund but don't see REIT on my tax forms.

There are two places it could come from; a 1099-DIV or a K-1. Per JohnB5677:

 

  • By any chance did your father get a K-1?  This would be a possible location that a REIT could sneak in. 
  • On the 1099-DIVs that he got was there additional information beyond Box 2(a)? Box 5 would represent a REIT Dividend.
