Does anyone know how to report a dividend on a shorted stock? I was short NDB last year when they issued a dividend. This showed up as a debit against my account. But I also got a 1099-div with the dividend amount. However, I was the one paying the dividend, not receiving it. So I'm not sure how to report this (as a negative dividend?).

thanks...tai
