Question

I've recieved a 1099-DIV, INT, MISC, and B from DriveWealth LLC and all line entries are $0.00. Do I need to enter anything in TurboTax?

I received a Form 1099 Composite that had a page with 1099-DIV, -INT, -MISC, and -B with every line item as $0.00.  

There's a second page showing "Summary Of Sale Proceeds" and that shows a Total Short-term, total Net Gain or Loss of -5.41.  Total Long-term is $0.00 and Total Undetermined-term is $0.00.

There's a third page showing "short term transactions for covered tax lots, report on Form 8949, Part I with Box A checked" which does show 1 entry (for that -5.41).  It also has infor for box 2, 5, 6, 12.

What would I need to enter in TurboTax?  I started entering these as $0.00 everywhere but when I got to 1099-B, TurboTax wants me to upgrade to Premium.  I'd hate to upgrade only to report $0.00 everywhere.  Or am I wrong?

FYI, this is for my daughter's Greenlight application / account, which is under my name, and managed by DriveWealth.  The app lets her track chores to earn an allowance and also start investing in stocks & ETFs.

Would not enter $0 documents into the software but would retain the paperwork should the tax authorities have questions in the future.

 

The entry for $-5.41 has likely been reported to the IRS.  If the entry is not reported on the tax return, it is possible that they will have questions about the transaction at a later time.

 

TurboTax Online requires version Premium to report IRS form 1099-B.  See this comparison.
