wouldnt even amend for a client whose return I had prepared. IRS has a
certain tolerance level (not published), and such an amount is well
within those tolerances.

A change in qualified dividends doesn't show up directly on the amended
return (lines 1-5 are unchanged), only as a change to the total tax.
Use the same capital gains worksheet you used to prepare the original
return to recalculate the tax using the new qualified dividend amount,
and show this changed amount of tax on the amendment.

Form 1040X Line 6 should show method "QDCGTW" (qualified dividends
capital gains tax worksheet) as the method used to recalculate the tax.

Use the "explanation" section of Form 1040X to briefly indicate why the
tax changed.

I had already filed my 2007 taxes when I received a corrected 1099-DIV
form indicating my previous qualified dividend value was wrong - the
corrected value reduced by qualified dividends by $162. I went to
file an amended return but do not know how to show the reduced value
for the qualified dividends on the amended return. Any help would be
appreciated.
