I meant who shows the brokerage firm that paid you the dividend? Because you have to enter all this when preparing your return.

Dividends are reported on line 3a - Qualified dividends and line 3b - Ordinary dividends on your form 1040.

And if you have 1,500 or more of either interest or dividends you will get a schedule B filled out.

So if the amount is less no identifying information required?

I guess not. Just the total amount shows up for interest and dividends.

Thanks
