***

If i could have some advice on the following points i would appreciate it:

The main issue i'm having is that i don't know where to list the information on form 1099-B (the stock transactions). From reading up the examples seemed to put this on a separate schedule but i have attached all parts of the 1040 form i have to fill in. I assume this must go on there somewhere but i don't know where to put it.

Also, I'm a little unclear on how to treat qualified dividends. I have put the qualified and ordinary dividend totals in the right sections but what do i do with the $600 qualified total in 3a? i think it add it to the adjusted gross income but i know it is taxed at a lower rate so i'm not 100% on this.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
