Nondividend Distributions 1099 Dividends & Distributions box 3
I received a corrected 1099 with 46.74 less on Total
Ordinary Dividends box 1a and Qualified Dividends box 1b and
moved (added) to line 3 Nondividend Distributions.

There is no other identifying information on the 1099. I
read the IRS Pub 550 pg 21 but it didn't help.
The directions on the 1099 say that this reduces our cost
basis but on what? We sold several stocks last year.

My 1065 and K-1's have already gone out. Is it worth filing
amended reports? How do I account for this in Bivio?

Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks loads,

Cherilyn, it sounds like you are getting an adjustment on the category of
income paid by an irregular investment of some kind. Do you or did you have
any REIT's, Partnerships, Royalty Trusts, or some other investment that was
not an ordinary stock? Your broker will surely know which company is
involved in this late adjustment. When you know that, you can edit that
transaction and choose the appropriate distribution category on the screen.
And I would say yes, you probably do need to file an amended 1065 and
replace your member K-1's. If you are lucky, most will not have yet filed
their own returns.

The next thing I would do would be to sell that holding, if you haven't
already done so. It isn't worth the headaches as a club investment, even if
great for your personal portfolio.

No. That's what's so weird about this.

I'm planning to call the broker tomorrow and try to get some answers.

I also received a corrected 1099 whereby our ordinary
dividends were reduced by 11.38 from our REIT which were
classified as nondividends. How is this recorded in the tax
program?

The 11.38 was probably a distribution from the REIT, and should be classified as return of capital. However, the k-1 from the REIT should have other items of income that probably should be picked up.
