The Wages and Income page is not listing my capital gains that I entered from my 1099-DIV. They show when I go to "Edit'Add" but the summary page which lists all "Your Income" isn't showing the capital gains. Only the dividends reported are showing

Yeah...as long as the were placed in boxes 2a,b,c,or d...they go to the right place on the Schedule D.

I'm sure they had a lot of discussions as to whether to include those on the "summary" or not.  a lot of people complain because tax-exempt dividends in box 11 add into that amount too.

Not really a bug...just a no-win decision on whether to include the box 2 $$ in that sum...since it isn't really a "dividend".
