Do I enter the income I received from my brokerage account as interest or dividend?

It depends on how it is reported to you by your broker.

  • If it was reported on a Form 1099-INT, or equivalent, it should be entered as interest income.
  • If it was reported on a Form 1099-DIV, or equivalent, it should be entered as dividend income.
