TurboTax keeps saying I need to review my 1099-DIV but when I do, it doesn't acknowledge it and keeps saying it needs review. What am i doing wrong?

One of two TTX bugs;

 

1) if you only have $$ in box 11 of the 1099-DIV, you need to have a 0,.00 in box 1a.

OR

2)  If you are breaking out US Govt Bond interest that is a part of box 1a...then:

Edit that 1099-DIV.

On the main form page that shows boxes 1a, 1b and 2a ?

a)  .....make sure those boxes show whatever your Mutual fund sent out.

b)  Then check the box to expand the form to show all the other boxes. 

c)   Scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit "Continue"

d)   Check the box for Part is US Govt interest as you did before and Continue.

e)   Enter the US Govt interest amount as you did before...& Continue

 

Should be OK now.....simply checking the box in #2 clears the "Review" error.

2/16/2024: Some Investment forms are downloaded from the Investment Web Sites with '0.00'.

 

Lately, I have noticed the culprit is mostly the 1099-DIV forms downloaded from Robin Hood.

 

SOLUTION: CHANGE the '0.00' to BLANKS, and running Federal Review again, the 1099-DIV is not tagged with "NEEDS REVIEW".
