How dividend income should be shown?

This discussion addresses the new requirement to show dividend income quarterly on income tax returns, which can be a tedious task for those with substantial dividend earnings. Participants clarify that dividend income from mutual funds and shares should not be segregated for reporting purposes, unlike capital gains. While reporting quarterly is mandated to avoid validation errors, practical advice suggests using Excel to group dividend entries by date into the defined tax quarters. For smaller amounts or when there's no significant tax liability, one might consolidate into the first quarter for simplicity.
