Lee B Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 I am preparing several 1099 DIV forms for 2 clients. The 2018 form has a new box 5 entitled "Section 199A dividends" . Neither the instructions or a search of the IRS website shed any light on what belongs in this box. My best guess is these are dividends that qualify for the 20 % PTE deduction. I would really appreciate some help with this. Thanks in advance Quote

jklcpa Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 I think it has something to do with REIT dividends. 1 Quote
