How do I find out whether I got a Form 1099-Dividends? Don’t fret if you didn’t get a Form 1099-DIV. You may have received capital gain distributions instead. Or you may have received a Form 1099-DIV but didn’t recognize the name of the company issuing it. If you’re not sure whether you received a Form 1099-DIV, you should start with the company that made the dividend payment. Ask the company to confirm that it did issue a Form 1099-DIV to you. Your request should be made by letter. If the company didn’t issue a Form 1099-DIV, it will send you a letter or notice acknowledging this. If it did issue a Form 1099-DIV, it will either provide you with a copy of the form or tell you the amount of the dividend payment and the payer’s name and address.
