Lee B Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jklcpa Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I think it has something to do with REIT dividends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REIT Dividends are the only Dividends that qualify for the QBI deduction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
