1099-DIV Dividend Income

Certain distributions commonly referred to as dividends are actually reported as interest:

They include "dividends" on deposits or share accounts in cooperative banks, credit unions, domestic savings and loan associations, and mutual savings banks.
Interest income can be reported on Form 1040 (PDF), Form 1040A (PDF), or Form 1040EZ (PDF).
If your taxable interest income is more than $1,500, be sure to include that income on Schedule B (Form 1040A or 1040) and attach it to your tax return. You cannot file Form 1040EZ if your interest income is more than $1,500.
