I second this. You need an entry on B or D for every 1099
entry. When I miss one I hear from the tax agencies, usually
the state first.

Fill the form out completely, detailing each 1099. The IRS
checks Schedule B entries against the 1099s it has on file.
Entering all the detail on the return may avoid later
correspondence with the IRS.

Since you have to file Schedule B anyway, why not use Part
1. Your concern seems trivial.

You can do it either way. Personally, I prefer to have the
details right in my tax records.

Default Schedule B: Is it necessary to complete all parts?

Schedule B, Form 1040 of US Federal taxes has three parts:

Part 1: Interest Income
Part 2: Dividend Income
Part 3: Certification about some foreign accounts/trusts

My interest income for 2005 is only about $300, but the
dividend income is more than $1500. In this case, do I need
to fill all 3 parts, or can I only fill in parts 2 and 3?

Also, how much detail do I need to put? If a bank sends me
two 1099s (one for CD, one for savings account, say), do I
need to enter it as two separate items? Or can I add it all
together? Conversely, if a different payer send me a single
dividend statement, but it has dividends for 4 separate
accounts listed as 4 lines, do I need to list each one
separately?

Thanks!
