Some of my 1099-DIV from brokerages have dividends from the various
funds/etc totaled up, and some have them listed separately but NOT totaled.
For the latter, I've always added them up before entering (as a single entry,
within Turbotax) and silently wondered why the brokerage didn't add them
up for me. Finallly saw some fine print that said basically that if the funds
are listed separately, you "may" have to list them separately on Schedule B.
I have NEVER done this, and never had trouble, and I'd just as soon keep
doing it the way I always have. Bad idea ?
