The trustee bank called bank and said that the box 1b should
have equaled box one. He said it was an error on the bank's
part. And a revised 1099Div is on the way. I asked are you
going to issue a revised 1099Div to all participants and he
said I do not know. But that is not my job. If the firm
involved was UPS I could have understand if the second box
was zero.

And I do use those dang computer things. But the most
important computer to use it the one that hangs on your
neck.

No need to wait two days. box 1b is for "qualified
dividends", and all dividends just ain't so. Sure, the
usual ones we see, stock from publically traded companies
held for a long period of time do qualify, but some don't.
On a mutual funds 1099Div, you may have 884$ total
dividends but only 881$ in qualified dividends. (And then
of course maybe some capital gains divs; or not

Just go by the 1099-Div and insert in appropriate boxes in
the software you use. You DO use tax computer software,
don't you? (grin

The Bank called back and said the same number should have
been in box 1a and 1b. I asked if they were going to send
corrected 1099div's to all the plan participants and he said
he did not know. The plan was for a major power firm.

Default Dividend Distribution from an employee savings plan

I have a client 1099div from the plan for a client box one
is positive and box 1b is blank. Is this correct? Another
client's 1099 div from direct investment in the same
corporation has the same number in both boxes. I called the
bank trustee about this and the said they would get back to
me is two days.
