I still assert that a stock dividend is a non-taxable event and the shareholder will not get a 1099. A stock dividend simply increases the number of shares owned and the shareholder must re-allocate basis across the shares. There is no currently taxable event for a stock "dividend" as long as it is the same for all shareholders. In other words, a 100% stock dividend is nothing more than a 2 for 1 split to the shareholder. I could be mistaken, but I don't think so....
