Form 1099-DIV (keep for your records) www.irs.gov/Form1099DIV
Instructions for Recipient 

Recipient’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your protection, 

this form may show only the last four digits of your TIN (social security 

number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption 

taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number 

(EIN)). However, the issuer has reported your complete TIN to the IRS.

FATCA filing requirement. If the FATCA filing requirement box is checked, 

the payer is reporting on this Form 1099 to satisfy its chapter 4 account 

reporting requirement. You also may have a filing requirement. See the 

Instructions for Form 8938.

Account number. May show an account or other unique number the payer 

assigned to distinguish your account. 

Box 1a. Shows total ordinary dividends that are taxable. Include this 

amount on the “Ordinary dividends” line of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Also, 

report it on Schedule B (Form 1040 or 1040-SR), if required. 

Box 1b. Shows the portion of the amount in box 1a that may be eligible for 

reduced capital gains rates. See the Instructions for Forms 1040 and 

1040-SR for how to determine this amount and where to report. 

The amount shown may be dividends a corporation paid directly to you 

as a participant (or beneficiary of a participant) in an employee stock 

ownership plan (ESOP). Report it as a dividend on your Form 1040 or 

1040-SR but treat it as a plan distribution, not as investment income, for 

any other purpose. 

Box 2a. Shows total capital gain distributions from a regulated investment

company (RIC) or real estate investment trust (REIT). See How To Report in 

the Instructions for Schedule D (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). But, if no amount 

is shown in boxes 2c and 2d and your only capital gains and losses are 

capital gain distributions, you may be able to report the amounts shown in 

box 2a on your Form 1040 or 1040-SR rather than Schedule D. See the 

Instructions for Forms 1040 and 1040-SR. 

Box 2b. Shows the portion of the amount in box 2a that is unrecaptured 

section 1250 gain from certain depreciable real property. See the 

Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain Worksheet in the Instructions for 

Schedule D (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). 

Box 2c. Shows the portion of the amount in box 2a that is section 1202 

gain from certain small business stock that may be subject to an exclusion. 

See the Schedule D (Form 1040 or 1040-SR) instructions. 

Box 2d. Shows 28% rate gain from sales or exchanges of collectibles. If 

required, use this amount when completing the 28% Rate Gain Worksheet 

in the Instructions for Schedule D (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). 

Box 3. Shows a return of capital. To the extent of your cost (or other basis) 

in the stock, the distribution reduces your basis and is not taxable. Any 

amount received in excess of your basis is taxable to you as capital gain. 

See Pub. 550.

Box 4. Shows backup withholding. A payer must backup withhold on 

certain payments if you did not give your TIN to the payer. See Form W-9, 

Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, for 

information on backup withholding. Include this amount on your income 

tax return as tax withheld. 

Box 5. Shows the portion of the amount in box 1a that may be eligible for 

the 20% qualified business income deduction under section 199A. See the 

instructions for Form 8995 and Form 8995-A.

Box 6. Shows your share of expenses of a nonpublicly offered RIC, 

generally a nonpublicly offered mutual fund. This amount is included in 

box 1a. 

Box 7. Shows the foreign tax that you may be able to claim as a deduction 

or a credit on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. See the Instructions for Forms 1040 

and 1040-SR. 

Box 8. This box should be left blank if a RIC reported the foreign tax 

shown in box 7. 

Boxes 9 and 10. Show cash and noncash liquidation distributions. 

Box 11. Shows exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other RIC 

paid to you during the calendar year. See the Instructions for Forms 1040 

and 1040-SR for where to report. This amount may be subject to backup 

withholding. See Box 4 above.

Box 12. Shows exempt-interest dividends subject to the alternative minimum 

tax. This amount is included in box 11. See the Instructions for Form 6251.

Boxes 13–15. State income tax withheld reporting boxes.

Nominees. If this form includes amounts belonging to another person, you 

are considered a nominee recipient. You must file Form 1099-DIV (with a 

Form 1096) with the IRS for each of the other owners to show their share 

of the income, and you must furnish a Form 1099-DIV to each. A spouse is 

not required to file a nominee return to show amounts owned by the other 

spouse. See the 2020 General Instructions for Certain Information Returns. 

Future developments. For the latest information about developments 

related to Form 1099-DIV and its instructions, such as legislation enacted
