can someone help me with a tax issue?

prior to 2002, I never held shorts in an account that wasn't marked to market. I have been reconciling my Harris Direct account and it appears that dividends that I paid on shorts were not offset against other dividends that I received.

What am I supposed to do, reduce the original value of my short sale for the dividends I paid, which has the effect of reducing my capital gain (or loss)?
