Stocks WITHOUT reported dividends in a year
I own a few stocks that sometimes do NOT provide ordinary (and qualified) dividends every year.
For example, in 2020, ILG and Nokia paid no dividends.
Is it an allowable practice to leave these stocks in the dividends section and enter 0 in boxes 1A and 1B?
This would likely help me remember to include these stock in the dividend section when I do my 2021 taxes. Yes, I am aware, I would receive a 1099 for these stocks if there were dividends in 2021.
Or is it a better practice to simply delete these stocks that appear in the list that show up in the dividends data entry section.
Thank you.
