Where do I enter my 1099-DIV in TurboTax Online?

SOLVED•by TurboTax•4368•Updated April 13, 2023

Form 1099-DIV reports dividend income you received from your investments. To enter this in TurboTax Online:

Sign in to your TurboTax account and open (continue) your return
Select Federal from the left menu, then Wages & Income
Locate the section titled Investments & Savings and select Show More, then select Start or Revisit next to Dividends on 1099-DIV
Select Okay! On the screen Time to kick off your investments! OR Yes on the screen Did you receive any dividend income? then Continue
- If you see the screen Your investments & savings or Here's your 1099-DIV info, select Add investments or Add another 1099-DIV, then Continue
Choose how you'd like to enter your 1099-DIV:
- If you want to import your form, select your bank or brokerage from the list, enter your sign-in info for your online account, and select Get my form
- If you'd rather manually enter your form, select Change how I enter my form, select 1099-DIV, then Type it in myself on the following screen
Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the info from your 1099-DIV
When you reach the screen Here's your 1099-DIV info, the form you just entered should be listed
- If you need to enter another 1099-DIV, select Add another 1099-DIV and follow Steps 4-6 above

Note: Don't combine the amounts from two or more 1099-DIV forms if they're from the same payer—enter each form separately.

What if my dividends are $10 or less?

You still need to report your dividend income, no matter the amount. However, your bank or stockbroker isn't required to send you a 1099-DIV, so you might not have one.

To report your dividend income without a 1099-DIV:

Follow Steps 1-3 above
On the screen Let's import your tax info, select Change how I enter my form, then Type it in myself
On the next screen, enter the info for the Payer's information box and box 1a, Total Ordinary Dividends, then Continue
