Enter short-term capital gain distributions
Enter short-term capital gain distributions on the
Income
screen in the Income
folder. Since they're reported on Form 1099-DIV, enter the amounts in the Dividends
statement window so that the short-term gains are considered in Accounting Income (AI). This statement window doesn't change any income amounts on Form 1041, Page 1, Lines 1-8, and generally has no effect on Distributable Net Income (DNI). It moves the amount entered from dividends to capital gains in the Accounting Income calculations, so it usually affects the distribution amounts on Schedule B.
