Most people won't need to make an entry on this page of your TurboTax interview.

Qualified cooperative payments are generally reported as patronage dividends in box 1 of Form 1099-PATR or per-unit retains allocations in box 3 of Form 1099-PATR. The taxable portion of these payments are considered qualified cooperative payments, and the net income and wages from this business that are allocated to qualified cooperative payments must be reported separately.

The net income and wages allocable to qualified payments may be allocated under any reasonable method consistent with the facts and circumstances of the situation. A common method for allocating these items is to use the gross receipts of a business. For example, if a business has $100,000 of gross receipts, and half ($50,000) of this amount comes from taxable qualified cooperative payments, then it is generally reasonable to allocate half of the net income and half of the wages from that business to the qualified payments. For example, if the business has $30,000 of net income and paid $40,000 of wages, it would allocate $15,000 of net income and $20,000 of wages to qualified payments.
