Found it - exempt interest dividends make up the difference
Yes, you are correct, your exempt interest dividends will cause your dividend amount to appear to be smaller than what you reported.
You should report your exempt dividends on your tax return because dividends exempt from interest might be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
Your taxable dividends will be shown on line 3b of your tax return.
An exempt-interest dividend is a distribution from a mutual fund, most often from a mutual fund that invests in municipal bonds, that is not subject to federal income tax.
Exempt interest dividends are reported to a taxpayer on Form 1099-DIV in Box 12. Your Form 1099-DIV should be entered as it is shown on your form.
