Traditional IRA Dividends Reinvested

My client's 2019 1099-DIV from his traditional IRA reports ordinary, qualified and capital gains dividends, all of which were reinvested. Does he need to report these? If so, what is the procedure?

Thanks for any help,

I agree with Lisa.... I've never seen one either.

I *have* seen, especially in recent years, K-1's for IRA's.  Which can be very confusing (and no, those don't get reported on the F 1040).

Ive never seen a 1099DIV issued for an IRA account (it would be too easy to accidentally include it on a tax return)..are you sure thats what you have there?  You're sure its an IRA account?

Hi Lisa:

On closer inspection, you are correct. This appears to be an investment account. Would that make all the dividends taxable in the year they are paid, even though they were reinvested?

Hi there,

You’ve come to an Intuit site supporting tax professionals, and you may be looking for support as an individual taxpayer. Please visit the TurboTax Help site for support.

Cheers!

P.S. Look more closely at the 1099-DIV. If it has the SSN, it is NOT from an IRA.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I'm going to guess that your client has a couple of accounts with a broker.  One is an IRA and one isn't.  Sounds like you are looking at a 1099 for the "isn't" account and yes, you need to report it.

Hi IRonMaN:

You called it. Reports for several accounts were mixed together in the clients documents.

Thanks,
