Hi Pete,
If you categorize the dividend under business income, it will affect the calculation of your estimated taxes. In this case, exclude it in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).
Here's how:
- Sign in to QBSE.
- From the Transactions page, select all the dividend income transaction.
- Once done, click on Exclude.
For the detailed steps, refer to this article: Exclude or delete transactions.
Then, contact HMRC or an accountant for further guidance in reporting the dividends.
Let me share these article for future reference:
