The Form 1099-DIV is used by the
Service to insure that dividends are properly reported as required
by Code section 6042 and that liquidation distributions are
correctly reported as required by Code section 6043, and to
determine whether payees are correctly reporting their
income.
US Code:
26
USC 6043 Name of Law: Liquidating, etc., transactions.
US Code: 26
USC 6042 Name of Law: Returns regarding payments of dividends
and corporate earnings and profits.
There are additional line items
being added to this form in order to capture state income tax
withheld. This change is made at the request of several state
income tax department liaisons, for the convenience of the
taxpayer. These boxes are optional, will not be processed by the
IRS, and are offered exclusively for the convenience of the
taxpayer. There is also a change in the updated filing estimates in
response to this Form. The decrease in estimated filing figures
offsets the increase in burden, resulting in a total burden
decrease of 579,993 hours.
