Fillable IRS Form 1040 Schedule B – Interest & Dividend Income
Schedule B (Form 1040) is the IRS worksheet used to report taxable interest and ordinary dividends. Whether you received a single 1099‑INT or dozens of dividend statements, the fillable PDF on this page lets you enter the data directly in your browser—no extra software required.
What Is Schedule B and Who Needs It?
Schedule B is attached to the individual income tax return (Form 1040) when you have:
- More than $1,500 of taxable interest or dividends, or
- Foreign accounts, trusts, or other financial assets that require reporting.
Even if you are below the $1,500 threshold, you may still need to file Schedule B if the IRS specifically asks for it.
Key Sections of the Fillable PDF
The online form mirrors the official IRS layout:
- Part I – Interest Income: List each payer, amount, and any tax‑exempt interest.
- Part II – Ordinary Dividends: Record dividend payer, amount, and qualified dividend status.
- Part III – Foreign Accounts and Trusts: Answer yes/no questions and provide account details if required.
All fields are editable, with automatic totals that match the paper form.
